Causes of frequent seizures of epilepsy, what to do if seizures are frequent

Hello, epilepsy** is extremely complex, can be divided into three main categories, and there are a variety of factors that affect the onset of epilepsy:

1.Idiopathic epilepsy.

Suspicious genetic predisposition without other obvious **, often onset at a special age, with characteristic clinical and electroencephalographic manifestations, and the diagnosis is clear.

2.Symptomatic epilepsy.

Central nervous system disorders affect structure or function, such as chromosomal abnormalities, focal or diffuse brain disorders, and certain systemic diseases.

1) Localized or diffuse brain diseases, congenital anomalies, various ** leading to cerebral perforation malformations, microcephaly, congenital hydrocephalus, absence of corpus callosum and cerebral cortex hypoplasia, perinatal fetal brain injury, etc.; Acquired brain injuries such as traumatic brain injury, after craniocerebral surgery, after stroke, after intracranial infection, acute alcohol poisoning; The incidence of neonatal epilepsy is about 1%, and the incidence of epilepsy is as high as 25% due to birth trauma complicated with cerebral hemorrhage or cerebral hypoxic damage, and neonatal with congenital brain development malformations or birth trauma; Inflammation includes central nervous system bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, spirochetal infections and AIDS neurological complications. Cerebrovascular diseases such as cerebral arteriovenous malformation, cerebral infarction and cerebral hemorrhage; Intracranial tumors Primary tumors such as glioma, meningioma, etc.; Hereditary metabolic diseases such as tuberous sclerosis, cerebrofacial angiomatosis, phenylketonuria, etc.; Neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and PICK disease are associated with seizures in about 1 to 3 patients.

2) Systemic diseases such as hypoxic encephalopathy such as cardiac arrest, CO poisoning and asphyxia, anesthesia accidents and respiratory failure can cause myoclonic seizures or generalized grand mal seizures; Metabolic encephalopathy, such as hypoglycemia, most commonly causes epilepsy, and other metabolic and endocrine disorders such as hyperglycemia, hypocalcemia, hyponatremia, uremia, hepatic encephalopathy, and thyrotoxica can lead to seizures; Cardiovascular diseases such as cardiac arrest, hypertensive encephalopathy, etc.; Febrile Seizures Febrile seizures leading to hippocampal sclerosis are generalized seizures secondary to temporal lobe epilepsy and have become important for refractory epilepsy**; Eclampsia; Poisoning such as alcohol, isoniazid, carbazole and other drugs and lead, thallium and other heavy metal poisoning.

3.Cryptogenic epilepsy.

It is more common, the clinical manifestations suggest symptomatic epilepsy, but no clear ** has been found, it can start at a special age, and there are no specific clinical and EEG findings.

From the current level of medical care, epilepsy mainly relies on antiepileptic drugs to control seizures. Commonly used drugs are: topiramate, phenytoin, carbamazepine. Some patients can be cured by neurosurgical removal of epilepsy, but there are certain risks.

If the medication** controls the symptoms, it is best to take the medication**. If seizures are still frequent after taking the drug, it is recommended to consult a neurosurgeon to determine whether surgery can be performed to remove the epileptic lesion.

My cousin was diagnosed with epilepsy very early, as soon as he had a seizure, his whole body would straighten, convulsions, and then he would pass out, every time he saw it, it was scary, he has been controlled by medication, but in recent days I have noticed that his seizures are becoming more and more frequent. Let's talk about what to do if you have frequent seizures.

1.The first method: in the seizure of **, anti-epileptic drugs have special significance, generally the anti-epileptic drugs synthesized before the 60s, such as:

Phenytoin, carbamazepine, ethosuximide, valproate sodium and other old antiepileptic drugs, among which phenobarbital, phenytoin, carbamazepine, and sodium valproate are widely used first-line antiepileptic drugs.

2.The second method: the drug can be used to nourish the heart and kidneys, cleanse phlegm and quench wind, open the body and fix epilepsy, activate blood and dispel stasis, and calm the liver and diarrhea, so as to regulate the physical condition, regulate the function of the viscera, consolidate the foundation and cultivate the yuan, and achieve the purpose of **.

Traditional Chinese medicine is small, and it is not easy to treat both the symptoms and the root causes.

3.The third method: eat a light diet, eat more vegetables and fruits, avoid coffee, cola, spicy and other stimulant drinks and foods, quit smoking and alcohol. Avoid taking medications that contain caffeine, ephedrine. Penicillins or floxacin drugs can sometimes trigger flare-ups.

Precautions. Epilepsy can not be blind, this disease is also relatively easy to reverse, so we should be targeted according to the patient's condition, so as to be able to get rid of epilepsy as soon as possible.

It is best to take the patient to a big hospital for a look at the common seizures of epilepsy, so as not to delay the condition and miss the best period. And at present, the seizures of epilepsy are controlled, and a large proportion of patients rely on anti-epileptic drugs.

First of all, family members should learn common sense first aid to avoid unnecessary accidents. Family members can go to the Beijing Military Strait to learn about it.

Secondly, if the seizures are too frequent, it means that they are already very serious, and there are many methods in our hospital, and experts will formulate a plan according to the patient's situation.

At present, the more popular is minimally invasive technology (the so-called minimally invasive technology must be small trauma and fast recovery, so it is called minimally invasive technology, and the more effective and effective minimally invasive technology is currently available"Psychiatric Department of Xinke Hospital: DNA Biological Gene Implantation Blockade"Alcohol consumption in people with epilepsy is most likely to cause excitement, leading to severe convulsive seizures. Therefore, people with epilepsy are forbidden to drink alcohol. It is recommended that patients with epilepsy should be regularized as soon as possible to increase the rate. slj

When a grand mal seizure occurs, the first thing is that there is a lot of secretions from the respiratory tract, which can easily cause airway obstruction or aspiration pneumonia. From the beginning of a grand attack, the patient's head should be turned to one side to allow the discharge to flow naturally. In addition, the collar and buttons of the patient's shirt should be unbuttoned to keep the airway open.

Each seizure of epilepsy is damaging to brain cells. It is advisable to go to a regular hospital for regularization** to control the seizure.

Once epilepsy is diagnosed, regular antiepileptic drugs should be used**, there are many types of antiepileptic drugs, and the most important basis for choosing drugs is the type of seizure and the type of epilepsy syndrome. More than 70% of patients can be effectively controlled by drugs, drug-refractory epilepsy needs to consider surgical ** evaluation, recommended hospitals: Bayi Brain Department affiliated to the General Hospital of Beijing Military Region, Temple of Heaven, Professor Liu Zhiliang of the General Hospital of Beijing Military Region, you can consider it.

Military hospitals have relatively low fees and solid technology;

Regardless of the cause, the common mechanism is the repeated hypersynchronous firing of nerve cells in the brain. Irregular abnormal discharges lead to hypoxia in the brain, resulting in insufficient blood oxygen content in the brain and other parts, insufficient supply of nutrients and energy, continuous decline in cell quality, and metabolic disorders. In addition, it is necessary to fundamentally solve the phenomenon of hypoxia in the body by improving the patient's physique, and the body itself can make up for the conditions required by all aspects of the body, so as to improve the quality of the body, prevent seizures of epilepsy or more effectively disintegrate the pathways that cause epilepsy.

Epileptic seizures are a frequent occurrence, and they will have seizures if they don't pay attention to keeping warm in winter, and it is also okay to drink and smoke, and there are many reasons that need to be paid attention to.

It is also normal for epilepsy to be prone to seizures.

You usually have to pay attention to yourself.

If you have frequent seizures for a long time.

The physical and mental harm is great.

There is no warning of a seizure.

Epilepsy can be a**, not incurable.

But you have to find the right hospital.

Prolonged seizures.

It will cause physical and mental damage.

There are many ways to epilepsy, and among so many methods of epilepsy, the common ones are drugs, physics, surgery, traditional Chinese medicine, etc., and patients who want to find a good way to epilepsy must decide according to their condition. **Former patients, first of all, they must choose a regular hospital, such a hospital will determine a suitable method for epilepsy patients according to the physical condition of each epilepsy patient, at this time, as long as the epilepsy patient can ensure that the ** can be adhered to.

There are many causes of epilepsy, which are usually divided into two main categories:

1. Idiopathic (also called primary) epilepsy.

2. Symptomatic (also called secondary) epilepsy.

Primary epilepsy refers to epilepsy that has no manifestations of organic or metabolic diseases of the brain and cannot be found to have any cause. Secondary epilepsy is caused by a variety of brain organic lesions or metabolic disorders, such as: congenital brain dysplasia, birth trauma, hyperthermia, convulsions, head injury, brain abscess, brain tumor, encephalitis, cerebrovascular disease, poisoning, nutritional and metabolic diseases.

Congenital dysplasia: congenital hydrocephalus, caloscosacral hypoplasia, cerebral cortex hypoplasia, congenital cerebral palsy, chromosomal malformations, etc.

The main symptoms of grand mal seizures are sudden loss of consciousness, twitching of the limbs, upturned corners of the eyes, and foaming at the mouth. When he woke up, he was the same as a normal person. Seizures are mainly caused by abnormal electrical discharges from damaged brain cells, so as long as the abnormal firing neuronal cells are repaired, the effect of completely eliminating seizures can be achieved.

You can go to Weihai Guoan Hospital**, which is the best hospital for epilepsy. Below is a thank you letter from a patient to the hospital, ** come and take a look.

The preschool teacher sent a letter of thanks to Weihai Guoan Hospital.

Dear Weihai Guoan Hospital, all the medical staff:

I am an ordinary preschool teacher in Baiyun District, Guiyang City, and my name is Wang Ting. In 2006, I had my first grand mal seizure while playing games with my children, and according to others, I suddenly fell to the ground with blood on my head, straight eyes, foaming at the mouth, and twitching of my arms and legs. The children were scared to cry, colleagues came to pinch me to no avail, they dialed 120, while rushing to rescue me, just when the emergency ambulance just came, I slowly woke up, went to the hospital to do CT, MRI, blood test, B ultrasound and other examinations, the results were normal, in the local hospital diagnosed epilepsy.

Tonic-clonic seizures, also known as grand mal seizures, are commonly known as epilepsy. At that time, the hospital didn't do anything, so I was asked to go back and observe.

I went back to school to continue my work, but after more than ten days, I had another seizure at school, and the performance was basically the same as the last time, and then I had frequent seizures, and the doctor in the hospital prescribed anti-epileptic drugs Totai, Debajin, and lamotrigine, and I didn't have seizures for 2-3 months when I first took the medicine, but then the seizures became more and more frequent, so that I had seizures every day. Later, after being introduced by relatives, I came to Weihai Guoan Hospital, and the electroencephalogram showed severe abnormal electroencephalogram, and Professor Sun Guoan diagnosed me with epilepsy based on my onset and examination.

Tonic-clonic seizures. I received a dissociated brain pacemaker** on February 12, 2009. During my hospitalization, I did not have another seizure once, and my EEG returned to normal. Under the careful care of all the medical staff, I was happily discharged from the hospital on May 23.

I've been on a disconnected pacemaker for almost a year now, and I haven't had a seizure since the surgery, and I'm running out of anti-epileptic medications I was taking. It was Weihai Guoan Hospital that gave me the second opportunity to be a man, and my gratitude is beyond words, and I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to all the medical staff of Weihai Guoan Hospital with just a letter of thanks.

Regards. Guiyang Baiyun District Kindergarten.

Epilepsy is a common chronic disease with many patients and easy to reverse, which has caused a serious impact on many friends. During a grand mal seizure, many patients have twitching all over the body, bluish complexion, dilated pupils, foaming at the mouth, and some patients may also have symptoms such as confusion and incontinence, which need to be paid attention to. The reason for the incorrect method is that if the patient does not know that the method is incorrect and still insists on it, then it will definitely cause epilepsy.

Try to control your emotions when you're awake.

Hello, you need to pay attention to the drug ** copy.

The medical treatment of epilepsy is a long-term practice process, the doctor and the patient and the family should have full patience and love, the patient should have regular follow-up, the doctor should be individualized according to the specific situation of each patient, and supplemented by scientific life guidance, both parties fully cooperate, in order to achieve satisfactory results.

In this case, if you have epilepsy, it is recommended that long-term oral medication control is better.

It is recommended that it can be effectively controlled by drugs, preferably by oral medication, and that he should pay attention to his diet and not eat spicy and hot things.
