Question
Are there any treatment methods for epilepsy? I recently experienced cramps, tremors, and spasms in my legs or entire body after catching a cold, eating spicy food, or maintaining the same posture for too long. Sometimes, I also had facial twitches and numbness in my tongue, but these symptoms have disappeared since late August. In July, I fainted while queuing outside to buy tickets and had a full-body spasm upon waking up. I’m not sure if this was due to heatstroke or another reason. In August, after taking a taxi home, I suddenly couldn’t control my left leg, causing me to be unable to walk. On September 18th, after being exposed to cold for the entire day outside, I also experienced similar symptoms upon returning home.
Answer
Hello, the symptoms of epilepsy attacks include sudden loss of consciousness, muscle spasms, temporary cessation of breathing, screaming, incontinence, automatic behaviors, focal or unilateral limb rigidity, and clonic seizures. With a period of standardized and systematic medication treatment, it is possible to achieve complete control. Patients who are controlled can still get married and have children. It is recommended to rest more often, avoid excessive excitement, and try not to eat irritating foods. It is suggested that you go to the hospital for a diagnosis. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
