Can people with epilepsy take a sauna?

Patient's question:

Sauna is very beneficial for the human body and has health benefits. It can slow down blood circulation and help relax the whole body. So, as a person with epilepsy, how can they take a sauna?

Doctor's answer:

Epilepsy patients who want to prevent the recurrence of epilepsy (epilepsy) should preferably avoid taking saunas. This is because saunas generally have high levels of carbon dioxide and insufficient oxygen, making it easy to choke on water. Moreover, saunas can temporarily reduce the IQ of users, which will return to normal after a few days, but this can also for epilepsy recurrence. For patients, if the epilepsy condition is severe, timely symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication are necessary, otherwise it may lead to a recurrence of epilepsy. In addition, patients should always maintain a positive mood to avoid worsening the condition. I hope the answers to these questions can help everyone. Thank you.
