What are the early symptoms of epilepsy in the elderly. For those who have elderly people in their families, this issue should be worth noting. The number of elderly people is increasing, and geriatric epilepsy is a disease that is more harmful to older people, so it is important to have some knowledge of the common aspects of the disease. The following is an introduction to the early symptoms of geriatric epilepsy. The early stages of this disease can lead to many symptomatic reactions. For example, there are many manifestations of seizures. Grand mal seizures can have pre-seizure signs, such as misfiring nerves, patients feeling dizzy, upset stomach, abnormal hearing, abnormal vision, screaming, etc. During the seizure, there can be a sudden loss of consciousness, general muscle tensing, temporary respiratory arrest, head tilting to one side, body convulsions, and the whole process of seizure will take about ten seconds or so, then in the recovery period, the patient’s respiratory function gradually restored, but may be foaming at the mouth, or incontinence. Then the whole body slowly relaxes and the whole person enters a state of sleep, and finally consciousness gradually returns. Of course, it is possible to have a small seizure, the seizure time is relatively short, may be a temporary loss of consciousness, can not be accompanied by physical spasms, but small seizures can be several times a day, sometimes only manifested as frequent irregular blinking eyes, or frequent irregular head bowing, may also appear, eye straightening and upper limb twitching and other problems, small seizures last from a few seconds to tens of seconds. The seizures are rapid and recovery is quick. There are also psychomotor seizures, or limited seizures. Different seizures have different symptoms. Note: Symptoms are divided into seizure symptoms and usual symptoms. The above is mainly for the symptoms of old seizures, and about the usual symptoms, because the specific type of epilepsy of each elderly friend is different, so the form of manifestation is also different, such as can make the elderly more and more reluctant to talk, more grumpy, and become slow to react.
