    Hello! First of all, you have to understand what epilepsy means. That is to say, what is epilepsy

    Epilepsy, commonly known as epilepsy, is a common disease. The clinical presentation is characterized by transient loss of consciousness, limb spasms, and convulsions. Epilepsy can be divided into two types: primary and secondary.

    The cause of primary epilepsy is unknown, there are no obvious pathological or metabolic changes in the brain, and various changes in the internal and external environment within the physiological range can induce its onset. Primary epilepsy usually begins around the age of 5 or during adolescence. Secondary epilepsy is caused by a variety of disorders inside and outside the brain.

    For example, encephalitis, meningitis, cerebral parasitic diseases, brain tumors, brain trauma, cerebral hypoxia, lead, mercury and other cerebral poisoning can lead to the occurrence of this disease. Epilepsy is hereditary. The prevalence of epilepsy in relatives of patients with primary epilepsy is 4 times higher and secondary epilepsy is 2 times more common.

    In this case, it seems that you have a genetic possibility, but you don't have to worry too much, epilepsy will only develop under certain triggers. It's better to go to the hospital for further testing, it's better.

    Finally, I wish you a happy life!

    Hello, 1. Congenital factors: This understanding is similar to primary epilepsy in Western medicine. In traditional medical books, it is called "fetal eclampsia", which means that it is brought in the womb. For example, the brain is underdeveloped, the function of the internal organs is congenitally insufficient, and of course, genetic factors are also included.

    2. Dietary and living factors: It mostly refers to the lack of attention to moderation in diet, the impermanence of cold and heat, and the invasion of cold and heat. For example, often overeating fatty food, overeating, excessive consumption of raw and cold and unhygienic food, etc., may become **.

    Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to diet, believing that the spleen and stomach are the foundation of nurture, and the nutrients needed by the human body depend on the infusion of fluid, qi and blood, and these are all completed by the function of the spleen and stomach. Uncontrolled eating and drinking will cause dereliction of duty, accumulate phlegm and drink, and blind the mind, which will inevitably cause epilepsy.

    3. High or low fever. It can cause epilepsy, what causes epilepsy seizures? Especially young children or children, their nervous system is not fully developed, and moderate fever may be able to induce epilepsy, and epilepsy patients like this may have epilepsy again even if they reach adulthood, so they should pay more attention to the condition of fever.

    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.

    There are many causes of epilepsy, and people who have not yet suffered from epilepsy can achieve the first and prevention of epilepsy in advance through the formation of epilepsy, because now there are more and more epilepsy patients, and once epilepsy is caused, they cannot easily get rid of the shackles of epilepsy. Therefore, people should prevent epilepsy and stay away from the troubles caused by epilepsy.

    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.
