Patient's question:
The patient is my girlfriend, who is 29 years old. She had a recurrence in February this year, with symptoms similar to epilepsy. Her first recurrence was in October 2009. She went to the hospital for an electroencephalogram (EEG) and a brain CT, but neither test revealed a cause. However, based on her symptoms, the doctor diagnosed her with epilepsy and prescribed sodium valproate along with many memory-enhancing medications. She had another recurrence the day before yesterday. She also had recurrences in April and July, each time around 4 a.m., which seems to follow a pattern. But the recurrence the day before yesterday was around 6 a.m. She had several episodes. Is this symptom epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
I said I'm treating epilepsy, of course, I need to go to a formal hospital for treatment. How could those messy hospitals possibly treat it well? This condition requires treatment that matches the symptoms, and it cannot be taken lightly. Only by going to a hospital that specializes in treating this disease can it be taken seriously. You better go check out that Yunnan Border Defense Corps Hospital Epilepsy Rescue Base. I found this hospital online, and it's very authoritative. Epilepsy is a very serious condition, and it's recommended that patients receive timely and symptom-specific treatment. It's hoped that patients can follow the doctor's advice for symptom-specific treatment. At the same time, pay attention to dietary issues, avoid spicy foods, and prevent them from worsening the condition. The answers above are hoped to help you. Thank you.
