I was diagnosed with epilepsy some time ago, what problems should epilepsy patients pay attention to

First, first of all, protect the tongue, before the attack, put the gauze pressure plate between the patient's upper and lower molars, so as not to bite the tongue, if it cannot be put in before the attack, wait for the patient's ankylosis to open the mouth and then put it in, do not forcibly put it in the clonic period, so as not to hurt the patient, make the patient lie flat during the attack, loosen the collar, and turn the head to one side, so as to facilitate the discharge of respiratory secretions and vomit, and prevent the flow into the trachea to cause coughing and suffocation.

2. Some nursing measures taken during grand mal seizures are mainly manifested as: there are more respiratory secretions during grand mal seizures. It is easy to cause airway obstruction or aspiration pneumonia, do not stuff anything in the mouth during convulsions, do not fill medicine, and prevent suffocation.

Because the symptoms of epileptic seizures are different, there are also differences in epilepsy care. First of all, for the care of status epilepticus, status epilepticus is a critical symptom, if not treated in time, cerebral edema, respiratory and circulatory failure can lead to death. Once the family members find that the patient has status epilepticus, they should immediately send the patient to the hospital for rescue, and report the onset of the disease to the doctor in detail after being sent to the hospital, so as to facilitate the doctor to grasp the condition and treat it reasonably.

Be careful not to be too excited and excited, and regulate your physical and mental health.

Epilepsy patients should maintain a good mood in their daily life, do not do things that are easy to make themselves sick, should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, do not eat some hair products, but also go out for a walk, take a look at the outside world, and insist on doing some simple exercises can have a recovery effect.

People with epilepsy should be aware of the following while taking antiepileptic medications:

1. Start with a small dose and gradually increase the dose to control the seizure. Do not exceed the upper limit of the amount of the drug or decide according to the blood concentration.

2. Single medication, when it is ineffective, consider gradually switching to another anti-epileptic drug or combination drug, try not to exceed 3 kinds.

3. Take medication regularly; It cannot be reduced or discontinued at will; If you do need to change the dress, you should gradually increase the dose of the new drug while gradually reducing the dose of the original drug, otherwise it may cause an increase in seizures, aggravation of the degree, and even status epilepticus.

4. Adhere to long-term **, can be reduced**, it is generally believed that at least 3 consecutive years without any seizures can be considered to reduce the drug; Because the longer a seizure-free lasts, the lower the chance of epilepsy**, studies have shown that it is maintained1

If you don't have a seizure for more than 0 years, the chance is almost close to 1%.

5. Adhere to the principle of gradual reduction and discontinuation; If the conditions for drug reduction are already met, it is generally recommended to gradually reduce the dose within six months to 1 year until the drug is stopped, and some people recommend that the dose be gradually reduced within 1 2 years until the drug is stopped.

6. Pay attention to related adverse reactions when taking medication, such as rash, blood routine, liver and kidney function, etc.; Regularly check blood routine, liver and kidney function, electrolytes, etc., and find drugs in a timely manner and deal with them in time.

If epilepsy patients are diagnosed clearly, they need to be treated with drugs as soon as possible, and some valproate sodium carbamazepine can be used for conditioning**. It can also be combined with acupuncture and moxibustion, and at the same time, it is also necessary to ensure a good mood, ensure good rest and sleep, which will reduce the onset of symptoms, and gradually stop taking the drug, which is conducive to the improvement of the condition.

Precautions for epilepsy, for example, during the illness, one is the law of life, the other is when eating, the other is taboo, the other is to avoid colds, as people catch colds, including reduced immunity, colds such as serious will be accompanied by fever, a fever will definitely aggravate his epilepsy or convulsions, but also promote the twitching of his brain cells, or involuntary movements, so indirectly will also induce some seizures of epilepsy symptoms, and at the same time, it should, Avoid brain trauma, especially in children, bumps or something, if it is severe, sometimes low cranial fracture, low cranial fracture and then increased cranial pressure, can also be accompanied by some intracranial reactions, including pumping, related lesions.

Patients with epilepsy should pay attention to long-term and regular medication in daily life, and should not increase or decrease the dose of medication without authorization, and should not stop taking medication without authorization, otherwise it is easy to induce frequent seizures or status epilepticus. Also be careful to avoid being able to.

Hello, the first choice is to take the medicine on time, which can reduce **, and secondly, to avoid the predisposing factors, the predisposing factors of epilepsy:

1.Optimism, which has been shown in practice, can lead to seizures due to nervousness, pessimism and disappointment. Most people with epilepsy are pessimistic and disappointed due to long-term anti-behavior and discrimination by some people in society.

Epilepsy patients should build confidence in overcoming the disease, maintain optimism, and treat the disease correctly. With a good psychological state, actively cooperating with doctors, and insisting on long-term **, the vast majority of patients can basically live the same life as normal people.

2.The combination of work and rest, excessive physical labor, excessive mental work, and strenuous sports can induce epilepsy. Therefore, epilepsy patients must pay attention to the combination of work and rest.

Schools and society should not have too high requirements for the learning of children with epilepsy. Adult patients should also study not to be overly nervous and fatigued, so as not to make seizures.

3.Adequate sleep, lack of sleep is easy to induce epilepsy, so it is necessary to ensure adequate sleep, do not stay up late, especially for children with epilepsy.

In addition, drinking strong tea and eating foods that contain a lot of caffeine, such as chocolate, can cause seizures, so they should be contraindicated.

5.Quitting tobacco and alcohol, tobacco and alcohol can induce epilepsy, especially drinking alcohol is more harmful, chronic alcoholism can cause changes in the structure and function of the cerebral cortex, resulting in seizures. Sudden withdrawal from alcohol in long-term alcohol addicts can also cause seizures.

Alcohol also accelerates the metabolism of antiepileptic drugs, lowering blood levels and reducing efficacy. Therefore, people with epilepsy should abstain from all alcohol and alcoholic beverages.

6.Regular follow-up, anti-epilepsy** The whole process should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor, and patients should not go to the doctor indiscriminately. In order to observe the effect and adverse reactions of the drug, and guide the patient to use the drug rationally, regular follow-up should be carried out for physical examination and necessary laboratory examination.

Antiepilepsy** should be followed up once a week for 1-2 months and once a month after 3 months.

7.Always have medications, epilepsy patients should have enough commonly used drugs at home, and should also have enough antiepileptic drugs that can work quickly and are easy to use, in case of sudden seizures.

Many patients are careless in the treatment of epilepsy, which will reduce the treatment effect of epilepsy and will not be cured for a long time. What should we pay attention to in our daily lives? Epilepsy usually takes a long time to go**, and patients must actively cooperate with the doctor during the treatment process.

Method steps.

Regular check-up: Patients with epilepsy should regularly check the functions of other organs, etc., and should see a doctor regularly. The results of the laboratory test sometimes do not completely represent the current condition, it is very important for the doctor to personally check and advocate, some epilepsy patients who have taken medicine in the early stage, the biochemical examination usually does not find any changes, and the doctor's visit will give you a hint.

Reduce the damage of drugs: epilepsy patients should not take drugs indiscriminately, before choosing treatment, they should go to a professional epilepsy hospital to check and diagnose, try to take all kinds of drugs under the guidance of a specialist, and read the instructions carefully before taking drugs. to prevent and reduce the onset of drug-related harm.

Insist on a comfortable mood: Adhere to a comfortable mood, the impact on the body's immunity is very obvious, some people with a happy mood usually have some diseases that are not cured, while others are depressed, all day long sad people, usually not cured. We can't just count on the onset of spectacle, but the onset of spectacle is directly proportional to the state of mind.

Pay more attention to epilepsy-related knowledge, and prevent various factors in a timely manner, so as to effectively reduce the pain caused by epileptic seizures. Epilepsy patients should actively cooperate with the hospital to accept**, colleagues should also maintain a good attitude and optimistic attitude, and family members should do a good job in the daily care of patients, so as to better assist doctors and achieve the best results.
