Patient's question:
I am a patient who suddenly had epilepsy at the age of 26, and each recurrence occurs at 5 or 6 a.m. Currently, I'm doing well, but it happens occasionally, and the recurrence lasts for 3 to 5 minutes. Hello, what are the symptoms of epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy patients should pay attention to the following matters:To protect the tongue, it is best to hold a tongue depressor wrapped in gauze to prevent any threatening symptoms from reappearing between the upper and lower teeth.
If the patient suddenly falls and suffers a head or body injury, lay the patient down. During an epileptic seizure, there is a lot of secretions in the airway, which can easily lead to airway obstruction. The patient's head should be tilted to one side to allow secretions to drain out.
If the seizure lasts less than 20 minutes or if a second seizure occurs before the patient fully recovers consciousness after the first one, they must go to the hospital for treatment. Simple partial recurrence refers to stiffness in the limbs or side, clonic seizures, or sensory abnormalities. The duration is short, and the patient remains conscious. If the seizure spreads from the active area to other limbs or the whole body, unconsciousness may temporarily collapse.
