Patient's question:
Before I was diagnosed with epilepsy, I was always fond of drinking coffee, and it seemed like I couldn't feel comfortable without it every day. It's a bit overwhelming, but now I really can't dare to do it anymore. I'm so upset and don't know if I can or not. Now I can't help but crave it, but it's really sad and it affects me.Doctor's answer:
Patients with epilepsy should not drink coffee, so to stabilize your condition, it's better to quit drinking it as soon as possible. The process may be difficult, but you still need to pay attention. Coffee contains a lot of caffeine, which is stimulating and can affect your nerves, leading to a worsening of your condition. In addition to symptomatic treatment, epilepsy patients should also pay attention to maintaining deep sleep. Sufficient deep sleep can help you recover from this disease more quickly. I hope the above answer can help you. Thank you!
