Patient's question:
Does unreasonable deep sleep cause epilepsy? My mother has been having trouble sleeping recently, and her epilepsy always recurs. She often can't sleep, and she's had this condition for many years. What should we do?Doctor's answer:
It is possible. Epilepsy, also known as "fever of the goat," primarily manifests clinically as sudden falls, convulsions of the limbs, incontinence of urine and feces, and foaming at the mouth. Currently, there is no particularly effective treatment method, and standardized rescue can increase the frequency of recurrence. Commonly used drugs include carbamazepine, sodium valproate, and Gan Jian An tablets, etc. Different types of recurrence determine different drug rescue methods. For severe epilepsy patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible and receive treatment based on the doctor's advice. Avoid changing medications arbitrarily, as this may have the opposite effect on efficacy. The above opinions are for reference only. It is hoped that the above answer can help you. Thank you.
