People with a history of epilepsy are not recommended to get a driver’s license. When a person with epilepsy has a symptomatic seizure, he or she may be unconscious or even unconscious, thus losing control of the vehicle and greatly increasing the risk of a traffic accident. Moreover, seizures of symptoms in epilepsy patients are unpredictable, and are more likely to occur under conditions of stress and exertion. The sedative effect of antiepileptic drugs can also add safety hazards to driving. Therefore, it is not recommended that people with epilepsy get a driver’s license. In addition to not being able to drive a vehicle, people with epilepsy are also not recommended to participate in sports with hidden dangers, such as swimming, rock-climbing, mountaineering, bicycling, and working at heights, in order to avoid irreversible damage to the body due to sudden onset of the condition. Patients with epilepsy should take medication strictly according to the doctor’s prescription, maintain good work and rest and living habits, and seek medical treatment promptly if they feel unwell.
