Patient's question:
My aunt suffers from epilepsy, and once it recurs, it is unpredictable. She experiences a burning sensation and an electric shock-like feeling, and even her tongue may become stiff or numb, with a sensation of coldness. The face feels extremely numb on both sides. Occasionally, she may experience a sensation of abdominal sinking, obstruction, or nausea, and in very rare cases, pain may occur. She has taken medication, but the doctor said the most important thing is to always maintain a cheerful mood.Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy (dīanxían) is a recurrent disease. It is mainly caused by excessively abnormal pulses of neuronal groups in the brain, leading to disorders in brain function. If one does not always maintain a cheerful mood, it is very easy to experience illusions, hallucinations, seeing or feeling things and scenes that actually do not exist. In addition, during the treatment of epilepsy, in addition to timely treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. Patients must avoid excessive mental tension and worry to prevent unnecessary interference with the complete recovery of epilepsy.
