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 people with epilepsy swim and climb mountains?Doctor's answer:
In this case, it's important to assess how frequent the patient's epilepsy seizures are. If the grand mal seizures occur less than twice a year, medication must be used to control them. If medication is not used to control the seizures, there is a possibility of recurrence. As you mentioned, if a seizure occurs while ice skating, it is likely to lead to falling into the water. When hiking, an epilepsy seizure could potentially cause someone to fall from the mountain, which is particularly dangerous.
