How epileptic patients can protect themselves and prevent

  After the first seizure, you should go to the hospital with your family to see a specialist and have the necessary tests done to find the cause of the seizure. If there is a cause, it should be removed in time to prevent further seizures.  If the cause is not identified after the first seizure, antiepileptic drugs can be withheld and observation should be continued, with attention to rest. If the diagnosis of epilepsy has been confirmed by the specialist and special examination (scalp EEG, etc.), you should take the medication on time as prescribed by the doctor and review the medication regularly at the outpatient clinic.  If the epilepsy has been controlled by taking the medication on time, the amount of medication should not be reduced or discontinued at will, but should be gradually discontinued or reduced according to medical advice to prevent seizures that are difficult to control after sudden discontinuation.  The person with epilepsy should have a regular life, not to strain, not to overeat, not to contact dangerous objects, fire, electricity, not to drive, to prevent accidents.  When epileptic patients find themselves with unexplained chest tightness, panic, distraction, dizziness, headache and headache, mental discomfort, they should immediately rest in bed to prevent accidental injuries caused by falls during seizures.  Intractable epilepsy that has been ineffective with systemic treatment can be treated with epilepsy surgery (choose a more suitable surgical procedure according to the type of seizure).
