Patient's question:
Xiao Wang is our unit's driver and is very energetic. He loves to talk and laugh, and we've never heard of any health issues. However, at the last unit gathering, possibly due to being a bit overexcited, he suddenly collapsed, had convulsions all over his body, and frothed at the mouth.Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is a chronic disease that occurs again in the brain, characterized by sudden, brief, and stereotyped brain dysfunction, manifesting as disturbances in consciousness, convulsions or movements, or cessation of motor activity, accompanied by falls, foaming at the mouth, or incontinence of urine and feces. Most episodes stop on their own within 3 minutes, and patients fully recover to their pre-attack state. Daily attention should be paid to prevention. Epilepsy brings significant harm to patients. Once symptoms are detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. At the same time, dietary issues should be given more attention, with a focus on light and nutritious foods. It is hoped that epilepsy patients can receive professional treatment.
