Question
Yesterday, a patient suddenly felt muscle spasms between the ribs while stretching, and pressing on them did not help, suggesting an impending epileptic seizure. The patient was filled with fear. How should an epileptic patient deal with an impending seizure?
Answer
In dealing with an epileptic patient’s situation, it is first important to understand if the patient has undergone relevant medical examinations. If epilepsy patients receive appropriate treatment early on, over 90% of cases can be completely or largely controlled. It is recommended that the patient go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination as soon as possible and develop a corresponding treatment plan based on the results. Such measures can help keep epilepsy seizures within a normal range.
