Patient's question:
My father suddenly had another episode of foaming at the mouth and leg twitching while having dinner yesterday, which scared us badly. We quickly called the emergency center's number. After a few minutes, he passed out. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor preliminarily diagnosed my father with primary epilepsy. We had never heard of primary epilepsy before.Doctor's answer:
Your father's primary epilepsy may be caused by the following reasons:1. Abnormal growth and development of certain nerve cells in the brain, and an imbalance of intracellular and extracellular electrolytes;
2. Genetic predisposition;
3. Immune function deficiencies.
4. From a traditional Chinese medicine perspective, it is primarily the accumulation of wind, fire, phlegm, blood stasis, and deficiency.
Wishing your father a speedy recovery!
Primary epilepsy patients can, while understanding symptomatic treatment, also use dietary therapy as a complementary treatment in daily life. It is essential to avoid excessive hunger or fullness in daily diet and never overeat or binge on food.
