Patient's question:
That day, my husband and I were watching TV at home. Just as we were watching, I saw my husband suddenly fall from the sofa to the ground. At that moment, his limbs began to twitch, and his eyes were vacant. He once again lost consciousness and didn't recognize who I was.Doctor's answer:
Enhance physical fitness through exercise, maintain a regular diet and daily routine, and avoid stimulating foods such as tobacco, alcohol, tea, and coffee. Eliminate feelings of inferiority and fear, and prevent factors like fatigue and tension from affecting you. Epilepsy patients should avoid extreme hunger or overeating, and never binge on food. They should also avoid overexertion and ensure sufficient deep sleep, with adults needing at least 7-9 hours per day and children needing at least 8-16 hours. In addition to timely treatment for epilepsy, patients should maintain a positive mindset to face the disease. Only then can they receive timely and appropriate treatment. It is also important to pay close attention to dietary care, focusing on light and nutritious foods while avoiding cold foods, as this is believed to help drive away epilepsy.
