Patient's question:
Lately, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I see a neurologist. Is it possible that I have Tourette syndrome?Doctor's answer:
In this case, it might be considered a form of epilepsy, specifically petit mal seizures. Therefore, it is recommended that he be taken to the neurology department of a Class III-A hospital in his local area for a thorough head CT examination or an electroencephalogram (EEG) test. If there are generalized convulsions, he should be taken to the hospital. This is something that must be closely monitored, and after the examination, there may be repeated episodes.
