Question

“For about half a month, I sometimes have convulsions but no other symptoms. There is a family history of epilepsy, what should I do?”

Answer

“Epilepsy is a condition characterized by recurrent seizures that result from excessive abnormal electrical activity in the brain, leading to temporary disturbances in brain function. The most common symptom is convulsions. Treatment options include medications to control abnormal electrical activity and therapies aimed at repairing damaged neurons to reduce or eliminate seizures.”
