Patient's question:
I am a person who really enjoys ice skating. Since I was young, I have always disliked ice skating by the river at home. After starting training outside, I also frequently went ice skating whenever I had time. However, I recently developed epilepsy, and I am worried that going ice skating again in the future might trigger a recurrence of my condition.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that you avoid ice skating and mountain climbing as much as possible. There is a possibility that overexertion or excitement may trigger a recurrence of epilepsy. Try to avoid heavy physical labor, excessive mental strain, and strenuous sports; avoid mental tension, sadness, worry, and excitement; maintain a regular lifestyle with a consistent sleep schedule. Do not consume alcohol, strong tea, or foods like chocolate and raw garlic; foods such as mutton, dog meat, and chicken, which are considered "trigger foods," should also be avoided. Epilepsy is a condition that is difficult to fully alleviate. Patients should maintain a positive attitude and face it with optimism, as this can boost their confidence in overcoming epilepsy and increase the likelihood of recovery.
