Can computers cause epilepsy? Symptoms of epilepsy

There are many causes of seizures.

1.Congenital diseases: such as chromosomal abnormalities, inherited metabolic disorders, brain malformations and congenital hydrocephalus.

2.Trauma: Birth and head injury is a common cause of symptomatic epilepsy in infancy and early childhood, and contusion, hemorrhage, and ischemia can also lead to local brain malacia and later epileptic foci.

3.Infection: various encephalitis, meningitis, cerebral abscess in the acute phase of hyperemia, edema, the influence of toxins and exudates may cause seizures, and the scars and adhesions formed after healing may also become epileptic foci, parasitic diseases such as cerebral schistosomiasis, cerebral lung flukes, cerebral cystechinococcosis, etc. often cause epilepsy.

4.Poisoning: Lead, mercury, carbon monoxide poisoning, as well as systemic diseases such as hepatic encephalopathy, hypertensive syndrome, acute nephritis, uremia, etc., can cause epilepsy.

5.Intracranial tumors: In patients with epilepsy after the age of 30, in addition to brain trauma, brain tumors are common causes, especially slow-growing oligodendroglioma, meningioma, astrocytoma, etc.

6.Cerebrovascular disease: In addition to the young age of seizures caused by cerebrovascular malformations and aneurysms, cerebrovascular epilepsy is more common in middle-aged and elderly people. Both hemorrhagic and ischemic cerebrovascular diseases can cause epilepsy.

7.Nutritional metabolic diseases: hypoglycemia, diabetic coma, hyperthyroidism, can cause seizures.

8.Allergic diseases: such as tuberous sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, etc., are also often accompanied by seizures.

Epilepsy is a chronic reflux transient cerebral dysfunction syndrome, characterized by recurrent seizures caused by abnormal cranial nerve discharge, epilepsy is not an independent disease, but a group of diseases or syndromes.

Factors for seizures:

1. Age 60%-80% of the first seizure age is before the age of 20, and the common epilepsy of each age group is different.

0-2 years old mostly perinatal injuries, congenital diseases, etc.;

2-12 years old, most of them are acute infection, idiopathic epilepsy, perinatal injury and febrile convulsions;

12-18 years old, mostly idiopathic epilepsy, head trauma, vascular malformation and perinatal injury;

18-35 years old, most of them have head trauma, brain tumors and idiopathic epilepsy;

35-65 years old, most of them are brain tumors, head trauma, cerebrovascular diseases and metabolic disorders (uremia, hepatic encephalopathy, hypoglycemia and electrolyte disorders), etc.;

More than 65 years old are mostly cerebrovascular diseases, brain tumors, etc.

2. Genetic factors.

3. Sleep Seizures are closely related to the sleep-wake cycle.

4. Changes in the internal environment If a small number of patients only have onset during menstruation or early pregnancy, fatigue, lack of sleep, hunger, etc

Constipation, alcohol consumption, flashes of light, emotional impulses, etc., can trigger seizures.

Epilepsy is a chronic brain disease caused by abnormal electrical discharges of neurons in the brain. It is characterized by reverse, each attack is very short, and it is often sudden and unprovoked. Epilepsy is divided into idiopathic epilepsy and secondary epilepsy, the cause of idiopathic is unknown, and most of the causes of secondary epilepsy are clear, such as after traumatic brain injury, brain tumor, after stroke, after encephalitis, etc.

There are many types of epilepsy, such as the common generalized tonic-clonic seizures, which are manifested by the patient suddenly screaming, followed by loss of consciousness, falling to the ground, generalized convulsions, often accompanied by incontinence and trismus, which lasts for 3-5 minutes and then resolves spontaneously, and the patient often feels headache, body aches, and wants to sleep after waking up. There is also a type of absence seizure, in which the patient suddenly loses consciousness, suddenly stops what he is doing, is in a daze, slides to the floor with something in his hand, and does not answer the calls of others. There is also a type of seizure called automatism, in which the patient appears to have a disturbance of consciousness and will do actions that appear to have a purpose, but in fact have no purpose, such as repeated chewing, repeated coughing, or opening and closing the door aimlessly, etc., and cannot recall the details of the seizure after the seizure.

In addition, there are focal seizures, in which patients often have one limb twitch or sudden sensory deficit without loss of consciousness. In addition, there are many types of laughing epilepsy, abdominal pain epilepsy, etc. If you have epilepsy, you should go to the neurology department of the hospital to seek professional ** and take medicine to control the seizures.

Western medicine ** pathogenesis.

Western medicine divides idiopathic epilepsy and secondary (symptomatic) epilepsy into two categories according to epilepsy**. The former refers to this type of disease.

There are no structural changes or metabolic abnormalities that can explain the symptoms, but are closely related to genetic factors. Symptomatic epilepsy is caused by a variety of brain lesions and metabolic disorders, such as congenital diseases, prenatal and perinatal diseases (birth trauma is a common form of epilepsy in infancy**), febrile seizures, trauma, infection, poisoning, intracranial tumors, cerebrovascular diseases, nutritional and metabolic diseases, etc. The development of epilepsy is associated with abnormal firing of neurons.

While at rest, the firing frequency of a cerebral cortex pyramidal cell is generally maintained between 1 and 10 seconds, whereas in epilepsy, a group of pathological neurons can fire at a frequency of up to hundreds of times per second. The epileptic cell population is repetitively discharged at high frequencies, resulting in a large postsynaptic potential in the neurons directly connected to its axons, resulting in continuous propagation until the seizures are terminated by inhibitions (including the activity of epileptic peripheral inhibitory nerve cells, glial cell activity of excitatory substances, and the involvement of extralesional inhibitory bodies). Various forms of seizures occur depending on the route and extent of transmission.

Epileptic activity may involve only one area of the cerebral cortex and no longer spread, causing isolated partial seizures; Excitation is transmitted to neighboring neurons through the increase of extracellular potassium ions after discharge in the anterior or posterior gyrus, causing Jackson epilepsy; Epileptic activity is often transmitted from the cerebral cortex through descending projection fibers to the thalamus and midbrain reticulum, causing loss of consciousness, and then by the diffuse thalamic projection system to the entire cerebral cortex, resulting in secondary generalized tonic seizures.

TCM ** pathogenesis.

Traditional Chinese medicine considers epilepsy to be phlegm. The brain is the purest and purest intestine, which is gathered by the true qi, maintains the meridians, coordinates the inside and outside, and takes the main primordial spirit. If the brain is clear, the mind is clear, and the presiding is moderate; The brain is the sea of marrow, the subtlety of the water valley and the essence of the kidney.

The viscera of the pure soul likes to be quiet and vicious and disturbed, and it is easy to be false and real, which is the basis of its pathology. When the clear mind is disturbed, the original spirit is out of control, the divine machine is scattered, and the faint servant convulses; The sea of marrow is not full, the primordial spirit is not nourished, the brain is lacking, the trance is restless, and the eyes are dull. The heart hides the spirit, the kidney stores the essence and the main marrow, the spleen is in the middle of the coke, and the liver is the main drain and regulates the qi, which shows that the brain is related to the functions of the heart, liver, kidney, and spleen.

Congenital factors: Fate is subdued, or due to parental endowment or improper pregnancy and childbirth care, fetal gas is damaged, or the dirty qi is uneven, or the qi is reversed, and the viscera is dysfunctional. The spleen and kidneys are deficient and produce phlegm, and the liver qi is strong and windy. Phlegm turbidity endogenous Poor diet, excessive consumption of alcohol, alcohol, fat, and sweetness, damage to the spleen and stomach, loss of spleen health, accumulation of dampness and phlegm; Or the qi depression turns into fire, the fire evil refining into phlegm, the accumulation of phlegm in the inducement, the phlegm is turbid or reversed with the qi, or because of the fire, or with the wind, blinding the mind and mind, and the epilepsy syndrome, so there is a saying that "no phlegm does not make epilepsy".

Unclean diet, insects hinder the brain, and wind movement caused by insects is also the cause of epilepsy. Seven Emotional Disorders are mainly to blame for panic. Sudden panic and panic will cause the qi to be reversed, which will damage the viscera, and the liver and kidneys will be damaged, which will cause yin to not gather yang and produce phlegm and wind.

Damage to the spleen and stomach.

Sleep deprivation, especially within 20 minutes of going to bed or shortly before waking up, because children with epilepsy have seizures that discharge about twice as much as during the day. Excessive fatigue, hyperventilation, excessive water intake, excessive alcohol consumption, shock, anger, nervousness, impulsivity, high fever, long-term use of antiepileptic drugs and sudden reduction or discontinuation of drugs, prolonged stimulation of watching television, use of certain drugs, etc., are all factors that induce epilepsy.

There are many predisposing factors for epilepsy, and the causes of epilepsy are cerebrovascular diseases: common in middle-aged and elderly people, such as cerebral embolism, cerebral thrombosis, hypertensive brain tumors, etc., can cause epilepsy and dementia. Severe bacterial or viral infections, meningitis, neurocystis, brain abscess, viral encephalitis, tuberculous meningitis, epidural abscess, caused by intracranial lesions of various causes.

Common ** brain injury, traumatic brain injury, congenital diseases, vascular malformations, metabolic disorders, intracranial infections, febrile convulsions, etc., idiopathic epilepsy, this type of epilepsy has unknown causes, may be related to genetics, the closer the kinship in the family, the higher the prevalence of epilepsy. **The process is based on the classification of epilepsy, the rules are anti-epilepsy**. Pay attention to a reasonable diet, avoid foods that induce epilepsy, and prohibit strong tea, coffee, alcohol, etc.

1.Generalized tonic-clonic seizures (grand mal seizures): sudden loss of consciousness, followed by tonic followed by clonic spasms.

It is often accompanied by screaming, bluish complexion, urinary incontinence, tongue bites, foaming or blood foaming at the mouth, and dilated pupils. After lasting tens of seconds or minutes, the seizures naturally stop and you enter a lethargic state. After waking up, he has a short period of dizziness, irritability, and fatigue, and cannot recall the seizure.

If seizures persist, people who remain in a coma are called grand mal status and are often life-threatening.

2.Absence seizures (petit mals): sudden interruption of mental activity, loss of consciousness, possibly myoclonus, or automatism. A few seconds to more than 10 seconds at a time. EEG showed 3 seconds of spikes or sharp slow wave synthesis.

3.Simple partial seizures: tonic seizures, clonic seizures, or paresthesia seizures in one part or one limb that are brief in duration and clear in consciousness.

If the seizure extends along the motor zone to other limbs or throughout the body, it may be accompanied by loss of consciousness, called a Jackson seizure. Temporary paralysis of the affected limb after an attack is called Todd's palsy.

4.Complex partial seizures (psychomotor seizures): psychosensory, psychomotor, and mixed seizures.

There are many different degrees of impairment of consciousness and significant thinking, perceptual, emotional, and psychomotor disorders. There may be automatism such as fugue and nocturnal wandering. Sometimes, under the control of hallucinations and delusions, violent behaviors such as hurting others and self-harm can occur.

5.Autonomic seizures (diencephaly): may be headache, abdominal pain, limbalgi, syncope, or cardiovascular.

6.Those with no clear ** are primary epilepsy, and those secondary to intracranial tumors, trauma, infections, parasitic diseases, cerebrovascular diseases, systemic metabolic diseases, etc.

Go to the Tianjin Armed Police Corps Hospital for consultation, the director is very kind and will slowly ask you questions.

Suggestion: Hello, first of all, genetic factors: epilepsy has a lot to do with heredity. Heredity can affect the function of ion channels in cell membranes, reduce the convulsive threshold, and cause neuronal firing.

The second is epilepsy caused by a traffic accident that leads to a head injury.

In addition to causing gastritis, arrhythmia, hematopoietic function and immune function abnormalities, the most important thing is neurotoxicity, causing brain tissue metabolic disorders and causing seizures.

Finally, there is epilepsy caused by various diseases.

Don't panic if you have epilepsy, don't lose confidence in yourself, and go to a regular hospital in time to receive ** can be cured.
