Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I visit a neurology department. Can patients with epilepsy participate in long-distance running?Doctor's answer:
Hello, epilepsy is not suitable for vigorous exercise, so it is not advisable to participate in long-distance running to avoid recurrence of the condition and potential harm to life. It is recommended to engage in light exercises, ensure adequate rest, and maintain sufficient deep sleep to prevent strenuous activities. Ensure a balanced and nutritious diet. Avoid spicy and stimulating foods, smoking, and alcohol consumption. Do not stay up late. Regularly visit the hospital for follow-up examinations on schedule.
