Patient's question:
My uncle is 55 years old this year, and his health has always been very good. Recently, a car accident led to my uncle developing epilepsy. Every time he has a recurrence, he curses and even beats people. He also often talks to himself. We are very sad. Hello, what are the symptoms of epilepsy recurrence?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of epilepsy during a grand mal seizure may begin with the patient losing consciousness. Sometimes, the person may first scream, then become rigid all over, followed by rhythmic shaking of the limbs. At times, breathing may pause, causing the face to turn purple. The person may bite their tongue and lose control of urination and defecation. A grand mal seizure typically lasts 1 to 3 minutes. After fully recovering sensation, the patient may experience severe headaches or fall into a state of sleep. Epilepsy is a condition that is difficult to relieve. Friends of patients should maintain a positive attitude and face it with optimism, as only this can boost their confidence in combating epilepsy and believe that recovery is certain.
