Patient's question:
I have a friend who has epilepsy and it occasionally recurs. Sometimes the episodes are quite unsettling, and I don't know how to help him. After taking medication for a period of time, there has been some improvement.Doctor's answer:
Hello! General tonic-clonic seizures typically manifest as sudden loss of consciousness, falling to the ground, head extension, and limb convulsions. Some patients may experience diaphragmatic spasms, leading to a resurgence of barking, cyanosis, dilated pupils, frothing at the mouth or drooling, and upward rolling of the eyes. In some cases, it may be accompanied by incontinence of urine and feces. Epilepsy is a disease characterized by recurrent episodes of abnormal electrical discharges in groups of brain neurons, resulting in disturbances in motor, sensory, cognitive, mental, and autonomic nervous system functions. The mechanism of action of drugs is to suppress the excitability of brain cells to control seizures, but they cannot achieve a complete cure for epilepsy; they only provide temporary control. Epilepsy has a certain degree of generational inheritance and reverse psychology.
