There are obvious differences between breath-holding seizures and epilepsy in terms of causes and triggers, symptoms and treatment. 1. Different causes and triggers: Breath-holding seizures often occur during emotional excitement or painful stimuli, while epileptic seizures are mainly related to abnormal nerve discharges in the brain, and mainly occur under the stimulation of flashes of light and sound. 2. Different onset symptoms: during a breath-holding seizure, the patient usually has triggers such as intense anger or fear, and the patient may experience skin bruising and generalized tonicity or twitching, which is usually relieved after a few minutes. Seizures can be accompanied by muscle twitching, foaming at the mouth, urinary and fecal incontinence, and upturning of the eyes. 3. Different treatments: when breath-holding seizures, patients should be comforted to eliminate nervousness and anxiety, and generally patients can resume breathing when they lose consciousness, and breath-holding seizures will be relieved on their own. Epileptic patients need to follow the doctor’s instructions to take carbamazepine, sodium valproate and other drugs for treatment. During breath-holding seizures and epileptic seizures, people around the patient should be careful to protect the patient from falling and other injuries. Go to the hospital in time.
