Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I have an older cousin who is 29 years old in my family. Yesterday, while having dinner, she suddenly had a seizure and also vomited foam. So, I wanted to ask you, how can one distinguish between epilepsy and a stroke?Doctor's answer:
Hello, considering that the main symptoms are primarily caused by epilepsy, the examination usually leads to symptoms such as twitching and foaming at the mouth. A stroke generally causes a decrease in blood pressure and symptoms of hemiplegia. It is recommended that you go to the hospital in time for a brain CT scan to identify the symptoms. After identifying the symptoms, timely treatment should be implemented to alleviate the symptoms. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
