FAQ's
Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain that results in recurrent seizures. The nerve cells fail to communicate with the brain. It may lead to unusual behaviour or a loss of awareness.
The common symptoms of epileptic seizures include:
- Unresponsiveness and unawareness
- Facing repetitive jerking of any body parts
- Muscle spasms
- Loss of consciousness
- Hearing or vision blackout
Seek immediate help if you experience any of these symptoms.
The events or things that lead to seizures are called triggers. Though it differs in all individuals, the common ones are
- Fever
- Stress
- Lack of sleep
- Physical exertion
- Vitamin or mineral deficiencies
- Consumption of alcohol
- Hormonal imbalances
- Dehydration
- Bad diet
Though the exact cause of epilepsy is still unknown, its common causes are:
- Genetic factors
- Brain injury or trauma
- Brain tumours
- Brain infections
- Stroke
- Drug addictions
- Neurological illnesses like autism and Alzheimer’s disease
You should immediately consult with our epilepsy specialist for prompt care if you experience any of these issues:
- Recurrent seizures
- Diagnosed with epilepsy
- Feels unusual sensations, blackouts, or convulsions
- Prolonged unconsciousness
- Seizures along with fever
- Seizures that lead to injuries
- Prolonged seizure
There are various types of epilepsy, and many triggers lead to it, making its diagnosis challenging. It typically involves a comprehensive medical history review, neuropsychological examination, EEG (electroencephalography) testing, blood tests, and brain imaging studies such as MRI or CT scans. Our team of neurologists is expert in accurately diagnosing epileptic seizures.
The treatment of epilepsy focuses on preventing seizures and their adverse outcomes. It may include antiepileptic medications, lifestyle modifications, ketogenic diet therapy, vague nerve stimulation, responsive neurostimulation, or, in some cases, surgical interventions to remove seizure-triggering brain tissue. Our expert team works with you and recommends the appropriate treatment plan to meet your specific needs.
Epilepsy cannot be cured, but this condition can be effectively managed with early diagnosis and appropriate treatment. A significant improvement can be seen in some of the patient's intensity of seizures and their quality of life with the right medical care.
Lifestyle changes can help reduce the frequency of seizures. Adopt these lifestyle changes, such as getting enough sleep, avoiding alcohol and recreational drugs, managing stress, and adhering to prescribed medication regimens, to improve your overall well-being.
You can lower your risk of having epilepsy by following certain things:
- Taking prescribed medications on time
- Avoid common triggers
- Exercise regularly
- Eat a balanced diet
- Acupuncture therapy
- Keep yourself healthy during pregnancy
Though some forms of epilepsy can have a genetic component, most of the individuals with epilepsy may not have a family history of this condition.
If someone experiences a seizure, follow these steps:
- Stay calm and ensure their safety from falling or striking by removing nearby objects.
- Lay them on the side to prevent choking, and place a cushion under their head.
- Do not insert anything in their mouth to prevent tongue-biting.
- Do not control the jerking with excessive external force.
- Call for emergency medical assistance if the seizure lasts longer than five minutes.
Generally, the driving regulations vary by location. Individuals with epilepsy must meet certain criteria for seizure control and medication adherence to be eligible for driving. Consult with our specialists for personalised guidance.
The best support one can provide to an epileptic patient is emotional support, as this condition is emotionally draining. Along with offering emotional support, educate themselves about epilepsy, create a safe environment, encourage them to adhere to treatment plans, and show a complete understanding of their needs and challenges. Our Epilepsy Clinic provides counselling sessions for family members and their caregivers.
