    Generally speaking, epilepsy does not have much effect on lifespan, and epilepsy does not affect the length of life from the entire population of epilepsy patients. However, status epilepticus can cause death, often due to abrupt discontinuation of the drug or other reasons. In addition, there are certain dangers of asphyxia during seizures, inhalation pneumonia, fractures, and dislocations.

    Deaths due to the use of anti-epileptic drugs are only isolated. People with epilepsy generally do not die suddenly unless they are in severe status change, and most people with epilepsy die not because of the epilepsy itself, but because of other diseases or accidents. Epilepsy patients are several times more likely to die due to accidents, such as crossing the street, working at height, driving a vehicle, or climbing a mountain, which can lead to death due to accidents.

    Hello! The lifespan of an epilepsy patient is actually not much different from that of a normal person. Epilepsy itself rarely causes death, and accidental injuries caused by seizures are not uncommon.

    Although accidents caused by seizures can lead to unintentional death of people with epilepsy, epilepsy does not affect the length of life of the entire population of people with epilepsy. Epilepsy is only harmful to patients when it has seizures, and relatively less harmful when it is not seizures. Even if the life expectancy of a person with epilepsy is not much different from that of a normal person, it is still necessary to try to avoid accidents during seizures.

    Hope mine will be helpful to you and I wish you good health!
