Patient's question:
I have been feeling unwell recently, with a headache. The hospital's diagnosis confirmed it as epilepsy, so I'd like to understand what epilepsy is like?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder in clinical diagnosis. Its clinical definition is a chronic disease caused by abnormal discharges of brain neurons, which can lead to temporary brain dysfunction. Epilepsy can cause physical harm to patients. When a patient has a seizure, their entire body muscles will rhythmically contract, and they may bite their tongue. If epilepsy seizures occur repeatedly, the patient's life will be threatened. During early movement, the patient may suddenly stop, stare blankly, appear mentally abnormal, and have a blank expression. This may last from a few minutes to several hours. Some patients may also experience unconscious chewing, drooling, dry swallowing, sucking, and nausea. It is essential to pay close attention to brain diseases, as epilepsy is also a brain disease. Once abnormal neural pulses are affected, epilepsy can be activated.
