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. If I have epilepsy, what should I pay attention to?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy, also known as, is a clinical manifestation of abnormal impulses in brain neurons, causing sudden and brief symptoms and signs. Epilepsy is absolutely never contagious and will never result in behaviors like hitting others, as seen in mental illness. It should be managed with medication on a daily basis. Additionally, it is important to drink plenty of water, get adequate rest, ensure deep and quality sleep, avoid staying up late, prevent overexertion, maintain a positive mood, and avoid all adverse external stimuli. Moderate physical exercise, quitting smoking, and limiting alcohol consumption are also recommended.
