Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing leg pain frequently, and sometimes even when I'm fine, I get leg cramps. Later, these symptoms became more frequent, so I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said it was caused by overexertion leading to epilepsy, and recommended hospitalization for treatment. Currently, I'm taking oxcarbazepine. Now, even when I'm overly fatigued, I sometimes have relapses. Hello, do you have any good treatment methods? What are the ways to treat epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
From a medical perspective, it is called epilepsy, which is caused by intracranial inflammation leading to abnormal neuronal pulses, resulting in a series of uncontrolled limb convulsions and manifestations of impaired consciousness. Currently, there is no specific treatment for epilepsy, and the focus is on controlling symptom recurrence. Commonly used medications include ethosuximide and sodium valproate, which are neurology drugs. It is important to rest, avoid overexertion, and prevent stress, as these factors may increase the likelihood of recurrence.
