How to tell the difference between syncope and epilepsy, and what is the difference between a seizur

Sudden dizziness, confusion, blurred vision, or darkening of the eyes and weakness of the limbs are preconvulsions; Then he loses consciousness, falls to the ground, and returns to normal within seconds to minutes, stands up and walks, and some patients may have a feeling of general weakness within half an hour. In many cases, the patient falls quickly and softly instead of falling, has no loss of consciousness, or has experience in reversing and squats down in time, and the symptoms disappear quickly. During syncope, the heart rate slows or increases, blood pressure drops, the face is pale, and cold sweats may occur.

Syncope usually occurs in the standing or sitting position, and if it occurs in the recumbent position, attention should be paid to the presence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as arrhythmias, transient ischemic seizures, or epilepsy.

Epilepsy** is complex and diverse, including genetic factors, brain disorders, systemic or systemic disorders, and more.

Genetic factors. Genetic factors are an important cause of epilepsy, especially idiopathic epilepsy. Molecular genetic studies have found that some of the molecular mechanisms of hereditary epilepsy are structural or functional changes in ion channels or related molecules.

Brain disorders. Congenital brain development abnormalities: cerebral gray matter heterotopia, cerebral perforation malformation, tuberous sclerosis, cerebrofacial angiomatosis, etc.

Cranial tumors: primary or metastatic tumors.

Intracranial infection: various encephalitis, meningitis, brain abscess, neurocysticercosis, cerebral toxoplasmosis, etc.

Traumatic brain injury: birth injury, intracranial hematoma, cerebral contusion and various craniocerebral compound injuries.

Cerebrovascular disease: cerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, cerebral infarction and cerebral aneurysm, cerebral arteriovenous malformation, etc.

Degenerative diseases: Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, Pick's disease, etc.

Syncope is a dizziness symptom caused by various reasons, mainly the vestibule of the brain, which is caused by the abnormal regulation function of the vestibular control balance or the insufficient blood supply to the cerebellum, which is manifested as the constant movement or rotation of the surrounding things when looking at things; Epilepsy is mainly a symptom of generalized or local convulsions caused by abnormal electrical discharges of brain cells, but it is generally clear consciousness, that is, knowing what is going on during the onset of the disease.

Hello, convulsions and epilepsy are distinguished by that. Seizures are caused by a disorder of brain function, with muscle twitching and loss of consciousness, usually due to high fever, and there is no family history of genetic history. Epilepsy manifests as sudden convulsions, foaming at the mouth, trismus, transient coma or shock, seizures often recover spontaneously like a normal person, and there is a family history of hereditary history.

There is also a difference between the two EEGs. It is recommended to go to the hospital and do relevant tests to confirm the diagnosis.

Epilepsy is a chronic brain disease in which the central nervous system is temporarily dysfunctional caused by abnormal electrical discharges of neurons in the brain.

Convulsions are a symptom of central nervous system hyperexcitation, manifested by involuntary, intense contractions of skeletal muscles throughout the body.

Probably epilepsy is more terrifying, difficult to treat, and the seizures are also scary. There is no principled difference between the two medications.

Phenytoin is the drug of choice for grand mal seizures.

Epilepsy and convulsions are two different disease attributes, but epilepsy seizures are more harmful. In general, the best way to distinguish between them is an electroencephalogram. The main differences between the two are:

Body temperature: Convulsive patients will be accompanied by fever, and the patient's oral temperature is about at this time; Febrile seizures are mostly caused by upper respiratory tract infections, bronchitis, pneumonia, urinary tract infections, etc. Epilepsy has a clear genetic predisposition, and the main symptom is that the patient will have a sudden loss of consciousness, followed by tonic, then clonic spasms.

Syncope is a transient loss of consciousness caused by a temporary lack of blood supply to the brain, resulting in a high degree of depression in the cerebral cortex. Mild cases show dizziness, limb weakness, and swaying. In severe cases, there is sudden loss of consciousness, falling, eyes turning up, and a few even have angular arch reflexion, clonic movements, salivation, tongue biting, and urinary incontinence.

Epilepsy is a sudden, transient disorder of brain function. It is highly incident and can occur at any age, especially in adolescents. During a seizure, the patient often screams, faints to the ground, twitches of the limbs, looks up with both eyes, foams at the mouth, urinary incontinence, disappears in seconds or minutes, and some patients have a temporary impairment of consciousness, but does not fall to the ground, which is called petit mal seizures.

Hello! Epilepsy is a chronic condition in which neurons in the brain suddenly and abnormally discharge, resulting in transient brain dysfunction. Seizures, on the other hand, refer to clinical phenomena caused by abnormal and excessive hypersynchronized electrical discharges of brain neurons.

It is characterized by sudden and transient symptoms that vary depending on where the abnormally firing neurons are located in the brain. May be motor sensory or autonomic with or without changes in consciousness or alertness.

Syncope refers to the transient loss of consciousness caused by temporary ischemia and hypoxia of the brain. Syncope is different from coma, which causes a longer loss of consciousness and a harder time to recover.

The difference between syncope and shock is that there is no disturbance of consciousness in the early stages of shock, and signs of peripheral circulatory failure are more pronounced and persistent. Patients with syncope should not be ignored and should be treated in time. Syncope is a common clinical syndrome with a risk of disabling or even fatal, manifested by sudden onset of muscle weakness, postural loss of tone, inability to stand upright, and loss of consciousness.

Syncope has a certain incidence and may occur even in normal people. Due to the intermittent nature of the seizures, the existence of a variety of potentials, and the lack of unified diagnosis and treatment standards, some cases of syncope are not easy to diagnose and involve multiple departments.

For the above two diseases, it is necessary to go to a regular hospital for a comprehensive examination in time, further find out, diagnose the condition in time, and contact us in time if you want more detailed consultation.

The causes of sudden fainting can be physiological and pathological. One of the pathological aspects may be the presence of cardiac lesions, such as malignant arrhythmia, Ass syndrome, sick sinus syndrome, etc., as well as hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, congenital heart disease, aortic stenosis, etc., which can reduce the amount of blood returning to the heart and cause syncope.

In addition, if there are cerebrovascular lesions, such as posterior circulation ischemia, brainstem ischemia, cervical spondylosis, and insufficient blood supply to the vertebral artery, fainting can also occur, and there are lesions in brain tissue nerves, such as epilepsy, etc., fainting can also occur. In addition, severe anemia or occasional vertigo, such as Meniere's syndrome, can also cause fainting.

After fainting with a grand mal seizure, I have no consciousness, my limbs twitch, foaming at the mouth, and some people have incontinence!

Your condition should not be classified as epilepsy.

If you are not at ease, it is recommended to go for an EEG test!

The two are not the same thing. Epilepsy is characterized by non-febrile convulsions and epileptic discharges on electroencephalograms, which are distinguished from febrile seizures.

Epilepsy: Tics that occur in neurological disorders are symptomatic epilepsy, such as encephalitis, meningitis, or toxic encephalopathy, and have a different prognosis than febrile seizures because of the neurological sequelae of the disease itself.

Febrile seizures: often the first symptom of illness in children, which often occur early in the course of febrile illness. Rapid increase in body temperature is generally considered to be an important factor, but there is no data to support that the rate of increase in body temperature is more important than the height of body temperature.

The most common type of tics is tonic-clonic and may begin with shouting followed by loss of consciousness and muscle rigidity. Tics may also be partial or non-tonic, presenting as sudden weakness and collapse. Most seizures lasted no more than 6 minutes, and less than 8% of seizures lasted more than 8 minutes.

In this crazy life APP suggests, **epilepsy is best to go to a professional hospital to receive a formal system**, epilepsy patients are actively carrying out** at the same time, but also do a good job in daily life preventive health care. We need to maintain a good attitude and insist on going to **, so that epilepsy can stay away from us.
