Patient's question:
I have been feeling slightly uncomfortable physically ever since I had epilepsy symptoms during a deep sleep three months ago. Although treatment has been implemented, I am still very worried about having another episode of epilepsy during a nap. I often worry that the family won't notice if a dangerous situation occurs again.Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy patients with sleep disorders may experience an increase in the frequency of epilepsy seizures because sleep disorders can lower the seizure threshold. Therefore, it is necessary to provide appropriate medication for sleep disorders. Sedative-hypnotic drugs can treat certain types of sleep disorders and also synergistically treat sleep disorders in epilepsy patients. In addition to immediate treatment, epilepsy patients should also pay attention to maintaining healthy eating habits in daily life to digest nutrients. I hope the above answer helps you. Thank you!
