Can epilepsy cause death? Does epilepsy cause death in people

The harm of epilepsy to people is mainly as follows:

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 seizure and falling to the ground regardless of time, place and environment, it is easy to fall, burn, drown, and traffic accidents.

3) Mental trauma: Because the frequent seizures of epilepsy have an impact on the patient's employment, marriage and family life, the mental activity of the epilepsy patient is relatively depressed, and the physical and mental health of the patient is greatly affected.

Hello. Seizures in general do not lead to death, and status epilepticus should be treated promptly because seizures are transient and usually resolve spontaneously in no more than 2 to 3 minutes. In general, there is no need to call an ambulance to take you to the hospital unless the seizure continuum requires emergency treatment.

When the patient has a seizure, care should be taken to protect the patient from falls, burns, etc. Some family members put their fingers or chopsticks in the patient's mouth for fear of biting their tongue, which is unnecessary and sometimes even causes other damage. Do not force the patient to give medication during the attack, as this can cause choking and choking.

The patient can be allowed to lie flat, loosen the collar, turn the head to one side, hold the patient's jaw hair with both hands to avoid biting the tongue, and the patient can also be given oxygen if there is a condition at home. In addition, epilepsy patients should avoid dangerous work during seizures, do not drive, swim to avoid accidents.

The most reliable prevention of epilepsy is to take antiepileptic medications on time and in the right amount. Once epilepsy is diagnosed, seizures should be controlled to prevent recurrence of seizures, and the sooner it is treated, the better. Because, the more seizures and the longer the duration, the enhancement of the original epileptic focus.

Between the Western medicine anti-epilepsy is relatively large, many patients are difficult to tolerate, you can learn more about some traditional Chinese medicine, take the combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine or according to the pathogenesis, the use of epilepsy extinguishing wind, calming the liver and diarrhea, expectorant and opening the body, blood circulation and blood stasis of the first method of the disease fundamentally.

Generally speaking, the higher the frequency, the longer the duration, the longer the medical history, the more complex the clinical manifestations, and the worse the psychological quality, the greater the harm and the more obvious the consequences. Seizures can cause damage to normal nerve cells, glial hyperplasia, and other changes in the body's biochemical environment. Its main effects are as follows:

1. In the worst case, it will cause mental decline, personality changes, memory impairment, and increase the number of seizures: some people think that petit mal seizures, psychomotor seizures, and localized seizures are not harmful to the human body, but this understanding is wrong. Although there are many patients with superior intelligence and outstanding intelligence, from the perspective of the entire patient population, the intelligence is still inferior to that of the normal population.

Some symptomatic epilepsy is often accompanied by mental retardation, and even in people with intellectual disabilities. 2. It will have a certain impact on behavior: some patients with a long medical history often have strange behaviors, which are manifested as few words, withdrawn personality, easy to be impulsive and angry, suspicious, etc.

3. It also has an impact on life expectancy: some seizures are sometimes very sudden, which is easy to cause accidental injury, and individual epilepsy can appear in a state of hold, which is life-threatening. 4. There are also different effects on other aspects:

Some seizures often affect breathing, blood pressure, pulse, etc., causing damage to other tissues. Experts say that it is worth noting that the disease must be active and early to overcome difficulties and minimize the damage to health.

**The sooner, the better. Zheng Kangzhong's traditional Chinese medicine studio must be good, if you can't find him, then I tell you that it is useless to find someone else, so I will give you so many suggestions, those specialized hospitals be careful.

In the process of **, some epilepsy patients miss the drug, take less medication or stop the drug suddenly, which is likely to lead to status epilepticus, that is, in the case of a seizure, the patient has not regained normal consciousness, and the second seizure of epilepsy occurs, and the seizure time is very long. If the patient is not sent to the hospital at this time, or if the patient is not rescued in time, the patient's brain may be hypoxic-ischemic damage to the nerve cells, resulting in a serious threat to the patient's life. If intractable status epilepticus occurs, it can also lead to impaired organ function, resulting in the failure of organ function and life-threatening conditions.

Some patients in Spanspan have seizures when they are not mentally prepared at all, and they are in a dangerous environment, such as swimming, climbing, driving, racing, bungee jumping, etc., these dangerous sports, if the patient is in progress, and the seizure occurs, it may lead to the inability to treat in time, resulting in life-threatening. When some patients go out alone, on the sparsely populated ground, there is no one to treat the sudden epilepsy, and the occurrence of tongue bite or breathing obstruction can also lead to accidents, which can lead to seizures and accidental death. /span
