Patient's question:
How to provide proper care for epilepsy patients during autumn? I have epilepsy, and my recent seizures have been more severe than before. I often lose consciousness during the seizures and faint, sometimes accompanied by dizziness. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Ensure sufficient deep sleep. Insufficient sleep and excessive fatigue are common triggers for epilepsy. Therefore, epilepsy patients should rest sufficiently and ensure adequate deep sleep, absolutely avoiding overexertion due to training or business, which can lead to epilepsy recurrence. Epilepsy patients should also avoid heavy physical labor and high-intensity exercise as much as possible, as the heavy breathing and hyperventilation caused by these activities are also triggers for epilepsy. In addition to treating epilepsy, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a pleasant mood to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
