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 described, if you have undergone thorough medical examinations at the hospital and no obvious problems were found, and now you are experiencing dizziness and numbness in your hands, it is likely caused by cervical spondylosis. Due to bone spurs in the cervical spine, the vertebral artery may be compressed, leading to dizziness, and the compression of nerves 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.
