Patient's question:
I had an accident last year where I injured my head, which led to the aftermath of epilepsy. Recently, I've been having frequent episodes, and I feel weak and lack energy. My appetite is also poor. Additionally, I feel tired and weak all over, preferring to lie down and take naps. I'm taking medication, but it's not effective.Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy, also known as seizure disorder, is a chronic condition characterized by sudden and abnormal electrical discharges in brain neurons, leading to temporary dysfunction of the brain. An epileptic seizure refers to a clinical diagnosis phenomenon triggered by abnormal and excessive hypersynchronization of neuronal pulses in the brain. Its features are sudden and transient symptoms, which can vary greatly depending on the location of the neurons generating the abnormal pulses in the brain. It may involve motor, sensory, or autonomic nerve activity, accompanied or not accompanied by changes in consciousness or alertness. For patients, if the condition of epilepsy is severe, timely symptomatic treatment is necessary.
