When we witness someone else having a seizure, we often feel frightened and worried. And for those with epilepsy who are deeply disturbed, they often don't know about their seizures.
During a seizure, the patient's body seems to be controlled by a strong force, and the range of movements is extremely large, and even frightening symptoms such as convulsions of limbs and foaming at the mouth appear. However, it is puzzling that many people with epilepsy are unaware of their seizures. So what kind of mysterious power caused them to be ignorant in their sickness?
This is because during a seizure, neurons in the brain that are abnormally firing may affect the patient's consciousness, perception, and behavior. During an attack, patients may experience symptoms such as confusion, abnormalities in vision, hearing, or smell, muscle twitching, foaming at the mouth, etc. Some patients may experience transient amnesia during an attack, causing them to be ignorant of their behavior during the attack. Therefore, people with epilepsy need careful attention and care from family, friends, and those around them to ensure their safety during seizures.
Seizures are always silent, but how do these frequent seizures affect the body?
Although people may be unaware of a seizure, this does not mean that the seizure is harmless. On the contrary, frequent seizures in people with epilepsy can also affect the body in many ways.
First of all, the nervous system will be damaged, including problems with cognitive function, memory, attention, mental state, etc., which may lead to a decrease in the patient's ability to learn, work, socialize, etc.
Secondly, for children, physical development will also be affected, including height, weight, bone development and other problems, which may lead to problems such as stunted growth, poor physical fitness, and easy colds.
In addition, frequent seizures in people with epilepsy can also be life-threatening. Seizures can occur suddenly at any time, place, or circumstance, resulting in a fall or other danger. At the same time, because epilepsy is hereditary, it may also encounter many difficulties in employment, marriage, etc., which will cause great mental pressure on patients and greatly affect their physical and mental health.
Overall, frequent seizures of epilepsy can have many adverse effects on the patient's body and mind. Therefore, it becomes particularly important to detect and ** epilepsy disorders in time.
To avoid seizures, people with epilepsy need to do the following:
1) Pay attention to rest: Although epilepsy patients are no different from normal people after their condition is stabilized. However, it is necessary to avoid overexertion at work and pay more attention to rest, especially for patients who are engaged in mental work.
2) Moderate exercise: Epilepsy patients insist on moderate exercise, which can not only relax the body and mind, but also help promote the body's blood circulation and metabolism, and improve the body's immunity.
3) Maintain a happy mood: Epilepsy patients should avoid negative emotions such as nervousness, anxiety, depression, etc., and maintaining a happy mood will also help the recovery of the condition.
4) Positive**: Epilepsy patients must actively cooperate with the doctor's ** and act strictly according to the doctor's instructions, so as to avoid seizures and effectively control the condition.
Finally, I hope that all epilepsy friends can maintain a positive attitude and work closely with doctors, so that we can defeat epilepsy together!
