Epilepsy as a chronic disease, although it does not affect the patient much in the short term, frequent seizures in the long term may have serious effects on the patient’s body, mind and intelligence. In particular, sudden onset of epilepsy can cause pain to the patient and harm to his or her family, as well as panic to others. Therefore, we should pay special attention to the triggers that induce seizures. What are the triggers of grand mal seizures? [Life triggers] 1, lack of sleep, excessive fatigue. 2. The number of seizures will increase when there is too much mental stress, anxiety or depression. 3, watching TV and using computer for a long time. 4, alcohol has an effect on the brain, too much alcohol consumption is likely to cause seizures, and, alcohol and antiepileptic drugs have an interaction, alcohol makes antiepileptic drugs less effective, which leads to seizures. Brain tumors are the most common cause of seizures in brain diseases, especially late onset epilepsy in adulthood, which accounts for a higher percentage. It is believed that brain tumor cells themselves do not have firing characteristics, and the reason why they cause seizures is due to the growth of the tumor, which compresses or destroys the surrounding brain tissue, producing symptoms such as brain edema, swelling, and sclerosis of brain tissue. [Traumatic Brain Injury Causes] Traumatic brain injury causes seizures as an external cause According to expert clinical statistics, among epileptic patients, about 1/3 have a history of head trauma. There is no doubt that traumatic brain injury is indeed one of the main causes of epilepsy, especially open traumatic brain injury. In general, open traumatic brain injury is about 2-3 times more likely to develop epilepsy than closed traumatic brain injury. Of course, as far as traumatic brain injury itself is concerned, patients with epilepsy after traumatic brain injury are still in the minority. According to available information, about 5% of patients have seizures after traumatic brain injury, but among patients with seizures in the early stage after traumatic brain injury, the possibility of seizures in the late stage is 1/4. [External environmental triggers] High heat is one of the main triggers of epilepsy, especially in the hot summer is the high incidence of epilepsy. The main cause of epilepsy is heat. In addition, poisoning is also a cause of epilepsy, for example, lead, mercury, carbon monoxide, ethanol, fenugreek, isocarbohydrazide poisoning, and systemic diseases such as gestational hypertensive syndrome and uremic syndrome can cause epilepsy. Various bacterial encephalitis, brain abscess, sarcoidosis, and viral encephalitis caused by external bacteria are also causes of epilepsy. The first thing you should do is to make sure that you have a good understanding of the causes of epilepsy, which is very helpful for the future treatment. The first thing is to keep the patient in a good frame of mind and to go to a professional and regular epilepsy hospital for treatment.
