Epilepsy is distinctly different from other diseases in that it is like a normal person when not having a seizure and only shows up when having a seizure. Some people with epilepsy show some prodromal symptoms days or hours before a seizure; some people with epilepsy feel themselves for a few seconds before a seizure, called a seizure aura. What are the prodromal symptoms of epilepsy? Prodromal symptoms are symptoms that occur in the days or hours before a seizure. For example, the patient finds himself or herself in general discomfort, upset, moody, depressed, and complaining about other people for no reason. When prodromal symptoms appear, it is a sign that the patient may have a seizure within a few hours or days. At this time, family members should do a good job of psychological work, talk more with the patient, do not stimulate, and stabilize the mood so that the patient does not invite trouble; they can also temporarily increase the dose of antiepileptic drugs, or add other antiepileptic drugs to the original drugs taken to prevent the patient’s seizures. What are the manifestations of seizure aura? Aura symptoms are symptoms that occur in the patient within seconds before a seizure. Seizure aura consists of subjective sensations that occur before the loss of consciousness, and the patient remains awake and may have memories, most of which are short-lived. Normal adults are able to express them; young children and people with low intelligence often have difficulty expressing them. The seizure aura has a variety of manifestations: such as numbness and dullness of the body; hearing sounds like birds and insects, bells and machines; seeing moving or stationary lights, circles of light, sparks, black dots or colored things; smelling pungent and unpleasant odors like burnt rubber, fishy odors; feeling bitter, sour, salty, sweet, greasy and other unpleasant tastes in the mouth; emotionally showing anxiety, panic and fear; sometimes producing Illusions or hallucinations, seeing or feeling things and scenes that do not actually exist; there can also be symptoms such as dizziness, upper abdominal discomfort, head discomfort, etc. When the aura symptoms occur, it is too late to take preventive measures, the patient is inevitable to have a seizure.
