Patient's question:
I have heart disease, and I also suffer from epilepsy. These diseases have been troubling me. The heart disease was discovered after the epilepsy, and I want to know if heart disease poses a risk of developing epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
Heart disease is one of the causes of epilepsy. During epilepsy, the symptoms of patients include whole-body convulsions, insufficient blood supply to the heart, confusion, brain ischemia and hypoxia, etc. Heart disease has a certain relationship with the recurrence of epilepsy. Epilepsy may lead to abnormal heart conditions, while heart disease can also cause epilepsy. In addition, during the treatment of epilepsy, besides immediate medical intervention, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also very important. Patients must maintain a light diet and always keep a cheerful and optimistic mindset to avoid unnecessary interference with the complete recovery from epilepsy.
