Question
Over the past 14 years, the patient has experienced sudden whole-body twitching during sleep at night, which lasts for several minutes before resolving on its own. The patient was unconscious afterwards, and the next morning, the family informed them of this incident. On September 18, 2015, the patient suddenly fainted and fell to the ground during the day, losing consciousness. Upon regaining consciousness, they experienced headaches and nausea. The hospital diagnosed it as insufficient cerebral blood supply with elevated blood sugar levels, and the CT scan showed no abnormalities. The patient inquired if this condition was a symptom of epilepsy.
Answer
The doctor advises the patient to undergo an EEG to determine if it is an epileptic seizure. Additionally, for the issue of elevated blood sugar levels, it is suggested that the patient take measures to control their blood sugar, including dietary control, exercise training, and possibly medication if necessary.
