Patient's question:
My brother is an epilepsy patient. He was diagnosed with it last year when he had a seizure. When he came back to his hometown, he suddenly had a seizure. Later, he was taken to the village hospital, and the doctor said it was something like "epilepsy" (). He also said there was no need to worry too much. But my brother clearly has epilepsy, why would the doctor call it "epilepsy" ()?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Epilepsy, also known as "epilepsy," often exhibits different symptoms at different times. Epilepsy is distinguished from "yangjiao" (a traditional term). Nowadays, there are more and more patients with epilepsy, but people lack knowledge about epilepsy. Epilepsy is a disease and syndrome characterized by intermittent dysfunction of the central nervous system and endocrine system caused by repeated, sudden excessive pulses of brain neurons. For patients, if the epilepsy condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and proper medication are necessary, otherwise it may lead to a recurrence of epilepsy. Additionally, patients need to maintain a positive mood to alleviate the condition. I hope the answers to these questions can help everyone. Thank you.
