Patient's question:
I have a very close classmate. We were in the same class since elementary school. Recently, his health condition hasn't been good. It seems he has a very strange illness. When the symptoms occur, he suddenly falls to the ground. Besides convulsions of the limbs, foaming at the mouth, and purple lips, he also exhibits confusion. My mom said this might be epilepsy.Doctor's answer:
1. The prodromal headache of epilepsy is characterized by sudden headache as a precursor symptom of epilepsy recurrence, which may be followed by the reappearance of epilepsy symptoms during the recurrence.In many patients with epilepsy who experience long-term, recurrent episodes, headache is often the primary symptom. The patients may feel sluggish, have delayed reactions, impaired memory, or even personality changes such as irritability, guilt, and heightened sensitivity. These are symptoms of epilepsy.
Facing the harm of epilepsy, we should actively adopt treatment measures and avoid delaying medical consultation. If epilepsy does not respond to treatment, it is essential to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
