Is my epilepsy caused by poisoning, and what am I doing now if I have epilepsy?

Epilepsy is a condition caused by an abnormality in the brain that causes a temporary loss of function in the brain. Before we can understand what kind of disease epilepsy is, we must first have a basic understanding of the function of brain cells. Living brain cells emit tiny amounts of radio waves all the time in order to transmit information from cell to maintain normal neurological function, which is the basic factor why normal people are able to move, speak, calculate, and think.

If a person's brain cells are damaged and lose their function, and the radio waves between cells cannot transmit information normally, then there may be brain dysfunction such as deterioration of intelligence, inability to speak, and paralysis of hands and feet.

Epilepsy may have trauma, asphyxia, cerebral edema, etc., which can be life-threatening.

1.Trauma: Some patients may fall due to loss of consciousness and uncontrolled limbs during seizures, and because the body does not have a reflex protective reflex, the fall may be more serious, such as falling from a height, on the road, etc., and sometimes it can be life-threatening.

2.Asphyxia: When the patient has a generalized attack, the loss of consciousness, the muscles of the whole body convulsions, the pharyngeal muscles can spasm, causing laryngeal edema, the patient can not carry out gas exchange in time, suffocation, or there is a foreign body in the oral cavity during the attack into the airway to cause the obstruction of the respiratory tract, which can also cause suffocation, which is life-threatening.

3.Cerebral edema: patients with long-term epilepsy and generalized seizures, and long-term abnormal discharge of brain neurons can cause brain function and metabolism disorders, resulting in cerebral edema and brain herniation, which can seriously compress the respiratory and heartbeat centers, and be life-threatening.

When the patient has epilepsy that has not been controlled, the accompanying person should be strengthened, and it is best to keep someone to avoid the danger of the disease attack.

Most seizures are short-lived, and even if there is temporary respiratory depression, it does not lead to death. However, attention should be paid to sudden aspiration, accidental injury, and death due to brain function and other vital organ failure due to severe status epilepticus.

Therefore, special emphasis should be placed on taking medication regularly for epilepsy patients and their families to avoid sudden withdrawal of medication on their own, which induces severe status epilepticus and endangers their lives. When seizures are frequent, attention should be paid to the child's accompaniment, avoid climbing, swimming and other potentially dangerous sports, if it is a sudden seizure on the road, it is very likely to cause a car accident, epilepsy patients should try to avoid dangerous places and dangerous goods, should not be engaged in high-altitude work and highly stressful work, such as mountaineering, swimming, driving, cycling, epilepsy patients should not be alone by the river, by the stove, go out alone at night. reduce exposure to foods that are prone to aspiration; Once the seizure is properly cared for, lie on your side, keep your airway open, and quickly clear your mouth of food, secretions, or vomit to prevent suffocation caused by aspiration.

For patients with epilepsy, the most effective method is actually to control the patient's seizures through drugs and other means. For different patients, the drug is different. For example, if the patient has an absence seizure, it is generally necessary to use drugs such as ethosuximide and sodium valproate**.

If a grand mal seizure occurs, drugs such as levetiracetam and valproate are often required**. In addition, when the patient has a seizure, the patient's family should help the patient untie the collar belt to ensure the patency of the patient's airway, and put clothing on the patient's joints to prevent the patient from abrasions, and remove the items around the patient to prevent the patient from bumping and bruising.

Epilepsy is one of the oldest diseases of human beings, and it is a common disease in neurology, according to WHO statistics, there are about 8 million epilepsy patients in China, and the lifetime prevalence rate is higher, with about 400,000 new cases every year, making it a big country with epilepsy. So far, there is no special short-term method and means for epilepsy in the medical community.

1.It is necessary to take appropriate antiepileptic drugs regularly for a long time. 2.Avoid precipitating factors, such as alcohol consumption, fatigue, overeating, sleep deprivation, mental depression, infectious diseases, cold and fever, etc.

Epilepsy is a very complex neurological disease, once suffering from this disease, the patient's life will be greatly affected, in order to avoid the harm that more epilepsy may bring, we should pay attention in our daily life, try to avoid epileptic seizures, because epileptic seizures not only endanger the patient's physical health, but also affect the best effect. Then the next thing is to accept some things to pay attention to for epilepsy patients, I hope it can be helpful to everyone.

First of all, patients should maintain good living habits in daily life, some unhealthy living habits can easily lead to epileptic seizures, so it is necessary to maintain healthy living habits, such as going to bed early and getting up early, not overworking at work and study, not playing video games for a long time, etc.

Secondly, a reasonable diet is also very necessary, to maintain a nutritious and balanced diet, a reasonable diet is very helpful for epilepsy**. Foods that can cause seizures should be avoided, and elements that are deficient in patients should be actively supplemented. In the time of epilepsy, it is necessary to choose the appropriate method, and now there are many methods of epilepsy, and when you choose the method, under the same conditions, you can give preference to the smaller method.

Many people know about epilepsy, but they don't know much about the dangers of epilepsy. Many people ask, is epilepsy life-threatening? Experts from epilepsy hospitals pointed out that epilepsy itself is not life-threatening, but when seizures occur, patients will have some life-threatening behaviors due to mental confusion, such as suicide.

What are the dangers of >> epilepsy? Experts pointed out that there are two main factors that threaten the lives of epilepsy patients: 1. Epilepsy is a chronic disease, and some patients may need lifelong medication.

In addition, in daily life, when patients encounter all kinds of unpleasant things, especially those related to diseases, such as the doctor's language hints at a poor prognosis, etc., they often have thoughts of suicide. 2. Seizures, the most terrible situation of seizures is death, which may be the most serious situation in the harm of seizures. Irreversible brain damage.

Other harms of epilepsy >> the various types of epilepsy 1. Mental decline: The incidence of mental retardation in epilepsy patients is higher than that of normal people, especially intractable epilepsy. The main cause is brain damage and brain dysfunction caused by the primary disease, which naturally causes inattention, poor orientation, and inevitably affects thinking, understanding, judgment, analysis, calculation, memory, etc.

2. Cerebral hypoxia: The seizure of seizure is caused by an abnormal large amount of brain discharge, therefore, the harm of seizure attack from the level of a large amount of abnormal discharge, it will inevitably consume energy, resulting in relative energy deficiency and cerebral hypoxia. This is one of them.

3. Epileptic mental disorder: Once an epilepsy patient is diagnosed, it will definitely bring him a lot of psychological pressure, and many people will have psychological problems to a greater or lesser extent, and often have despair. The medication period of intractable epilepsy is often very long, and some patients may have to take medication for life, and it is inevitable that all kinds of unpleasant things will happen in daily life, especially those related to diseases, which often increase the psychological burden of patients and eventually lead to epileptic mental disorders.

The harm of epilepsy to people mainly includes the following points: (1) Damage to brain function: every time epilepsy occurs, brain cells are damaged, and long-term epilepsy retaliates, the patient will decline in intelligence, and finally gradually lose the ability to work and even live.

2) Accident**: Because epilepsy is a sudden attack and falls to the ground regardless of time, place and environment, it is easy to fall, burn, drowning, and traffic accidents. (3) Mental trauma:

Because epilepsy often has an impact on the patient's employment, marriage, and family life, the mental activity of epilepsy patients is relatively depressed, and the physical and mental health of the patient is greatly affected. If it is not carried out in time, it will cause damage in many aspects, such as the patient himself and the surrounding people causing harm, long-term brain epileptic firing will damage brain function, will affect the patient's intelligence and memory, and will also cause a great psychological burden.

Epilepsy is a group of clinical syndromes of reversive and transient brain dysfunction caused by various causes such as brain cell damage and systemic diseases. The main clinical manifestations are episodic impairment of consciousness, convulsions, sensory, motor, psychiatric abnormalities or autonomic nerve dysfunction. The main ones are status epilepticus, accidents, suicides, and unexplained sudden death.

Generalized-onset status epilepticus is often accompanied by varying degrees of consciousness and motor dysfunction, and in severe cases, cerebral edema and increased intracranial pressure. Even with active rescue, the case fatality rate is still high. At the same time, the incidence of neurological sequelae such as mental retardation, paralysis, and more severe seizures is as high as 9% to 20%.

Because the seizure characteristics of epilepsy, i.e., recurrent and episodic, cause the patient to develop at any time, and may also put the patient in a dangerous state. And there are also patients who can't bear the pain or various pressures and choose suicide as the point of no return.

As long as you know the ** caused, you can still **.

Chang'an Hospital exclusively introduced GT-multipolar neuronal block** epilepsy, which selects multi-target synchronous treatment of blind therapy on the basis of summarizing the latest foreign research results, accurately destroys nerve nuclei, nerve fiber conduction tracts, hippocampal structures and FOREL-H dominant side, and prevents abnormal discharge of epileptic neurons in all directions. At the same time, GT-multipolar neuronal block can also perform deep repair and directional modification of funny multi-level neurons with abnormal discharge. Clinical studies have confirmed that GT-multipolar neuronal block is currently the least harmful means of epilepsy to brain tissues, which can prevent epilepsy at one time and fundamentally prevent epilepsy.

Chang'an Hospital specially invited Professor Liu Keyuan, an academic and technical leader of neurology, vice president of the Anti-Epilepsy Association, and a professor who has been engaged in epilepsy for more than 40 years, to join. The center adheres to the tenet of "making people afford to see a doctor and see a good disease", strives to reduce medical costs, strictly controls the cost of medical treatment, and ensures that epilepsy patients from low-income families receive standardization and standardization as much as possible, and stay away from epilepsy.
