Patient's question:
My friend has been experiencing frequent twitches recently, apart from being a bit disoriented. After taking him to the hospital for a thorough examination, it was confirmed that he has epilepsy. He is now taking medication and following the treatment. Doctor, what should be noted in terms of diet for epilepsy? Would consuming spicy or fried foods worsen the condition?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you have described, you mentioned that you have a friend. They frequently experience tics and are also confused. If this situation occurs again, a thorough examination may reveal epilepsy. Currently, the main consideration is that it may be caused by environmental or dietary factors. It is not ruled out that hereditary factors can also lead to this recurrence. It is recommended to ensure deep sleep, pay attention to rest, eat more fruits and vegetables, which may be helpful for your friend's condition.
