Patient's question:
I am a patient with epilepsy. Recently, I have been experiencing some dizziness in the morning, and sometimes my hands feel a bit numb. This has been happening for over ten days, and I feel very uncomfortable. I went to the hospital, but they couldn't find anything specific. Now, I just want to ask, what should epilepsy patients do when they feel dizzy?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you explained, if you have undergone various detailed examinations at the hospital and no obvious problems were found, and now you are experiencing dizziness and numbness in your hands, it is considered to be caused by cervical spondylosis. Due to bone spurs in the cervical spine, it can compress the vertebral artery, leading to dizziness, and compress the nerves, which can easily cause numbness in the hands. Therefore, it is recommended that you visit the orthopedics department or a specialized cervical spondylosis department at the hospital for examination, and if necessary, undergo a period of physical therapy.
