Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I go to the neurology department for a check-up. Could you please explain what primary epilepsy is and what secondary epilepsy is?Doctor's answer:
Primary epilepsy is generally considered to be caused by epilepsy attacks triggered by factors such as brain trauma, brain hemorrhage, or brain diseases. Secondary epilepsy is mostly associated with a history of brain trauma, brain hemorrhage, or brain embolism. Therefore, if it is confirmed that the condition is an epilepsy attack, it is recommended that the patient seek treatment at a regular hospital. Oral medication can effectively stabilize symptoms. Otherwise, there is generally no major issue, and it will gradually improve over time.
