Symptoms of epilepsy

  Epilepsy is not necessarily all foaming at the mouth. Suddenly falling on the ground, stiffening, and pulling again after a while, as if waking up suddenly this symptom is a high possibility of epilepsy. Please go to the neurology department of a general hospital for examination. An EEG or 24-hour EEG is necessary.  The epilepsy is divided into clinical seizure types: 1. generalized tonic-clonic seizures (grand mal): sudden loss of consciousness followed by tonic followed by clonic spasms. Often accompanied by screaming, blue incontinence, tongue bite, foaming at the mouth or blood pupils dilated. The spasms stop spontaneously after tens of seconds or minutes, and after waking up, there is a short period of dizziness, irritability and fatigue, and the seizure cannot be recalled. If the seizure continues, always in a coma state is called grand mal seizure persistent state often life-threatening.  2, aphasic seizures (petit mal): sudden interruption of mental activity loss of consciousness, may be accompanied by myoclonus or spontaneous symptoms. A few seconds to more than 10 seconds EEG appears 3 times / second spike or sharp slow wave synthesis.  3. Simple partial seizures: tonic clonic seizures in one part or one limb, or abnormal sensory seizures, which last for a short period of time with clear consciousness. If the seizure extends to other limbs or the whole body along the motor area, it can be accompanied by loss of consciousness, called Jackson seizure (Jack).  4, complex partial seizures (psychomotor seizures): psychosensory psychomotor and mixed seizures. Most of them have different degrees of consciousness impairment and obvious thinking, perceptual-emotional and psychomotor impairment. Sometimes, under the domination of hallucinations and delusions, violent acts such as wounding and self-injury may occur.  5, vegetative seizures (mesencephalic): may have headache type abdominal pain type, limb pain type, syncope type or cardiovascular seizures.  6, secondary seizures: no clear cause for primary epilepsy secondary to intracranial tumors, trauma, infection parasitic disease, cerebrovascular disease, systemic metabolic disease, etc. caused by secondary epilepsy.
