Symptoms of Epilepsy

 Epilepsy is a kind of neurological disorder, it is called Epilepsy in English. In this, the patient has frequent seizures. It usually comes only when there is some kind of disturbance in the brain. Often, the person's brain balance is disturbed during a tour, which causes the body to falter. You will be surprised to know that epilepsy is not caused by a disease, it can be caused by many diseases.

 

 

 

What to do when an epileptic seizure occurs:

 

 

 

First of all, if you are wearing tight clothes then loosen it.

• Try to be calm.
• Lie the patient on the side.
• Do not crowd around the patient. Let the patient ventilate.
• Do not massage the hands and feet of the patient.
• Do not try to force the straightened limbs of the patient's body.
• Do not put anything in the patient's mouth.
• Do not drink or feed anything to the patient.

If the patient does not regain consciousness in 5-6 minutes, take him to the doctor because if the attack occurs again in the same condition, it can be fatal.

Causes of Epilepsy

 

 

• Stroke
• Brain tumor
• Brain infection, such as pneumocystosis
• Traumatic brain injury or head injury
• Oxygen loss to the brain
• Some genetic disorders
• Other neurological diseases

 

 

What to do to stop epileptic seizures?

 

 

• Especially avoid the reasons for the possibility of seizures.
• Epilepsy patients should avoid swimming, driving, working on dangerous machines.
• Take the medicine regularly and regularly and do not stop treatment unless the doctor says.
• Do not keep fast, do not consume alcohol, do not wake up late at night.
• Take 7-8 hours of sleep.

 

Epilepsy test:

 

Electroencephalogram (EEG): This is a common test. In this, your doctor puts a sensor on your head that records the electric activity in your brain. If they notice a change in your normal brain wave pattern, then it is a symptom of epilepsy. Doctors can watch you on video to record how your body reacts during epilepsy.

 

Computerized Tomography (CT) Scan: It uses X-rays to create images of your brain. This helps your doctor find out other epileptic causes such as tumors, bleeding, and ulcers.

 

Blood tests: They also help discount other causes, such as genetic condition or infection.

 

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): This allows your doctor to see the structure of your brain. It may show damaged tissue (damaged tissue) that suggests seizures. For the test, you lie down on a table inside the MRI machine, which is like a tunnel.

 

Functional MRI (fMRI): This type of MRI shows which part of your brain uses more oxygen when you speak, move or do some work. If your doctor needs to perform an operation, it helps to save those areas.

 

Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS): Like MRI, MRS produces an image. This helps the doctor compare how different parts of your brain work. Unlike MRI, it does not show your entire brain at once. It focuses only on the parts of the brain that your doctor wants to study more.

 

Positron Emission Tomography (PET Scan): For this test, the doctor injects radioactive material into your arm into a vein. It then gathers in your brain. It helps in checking the damage in which parts of your brain using more or less glucose. A PET scan helps your doctor see changes in your brain chemistry and detect problems.

 

Single-photon emission computerized tomography: This two-part test helps your doctor find out where the seizures in your brain begin. With a PET scan, the doctor injects a small amount of radioactive material (radioactive material) into a vein to show blood flow.
