Is epilepsy a genetic disease

summary

My big cousin is suffering from epilepsy, which is a terrible disease. When it attacks, it is very frightening, foaming and delirious. For patients with epilepsy, do you want to know whether epilepsy is a genetic disease?

Is epilepsy a genetic disease

First of all: epilepsy is not a genetic disease, the greater the risk of epilepsy after traumatic brain injury, the longer the coma time, the more serious the brain damage, the greater the risk of epilepsy. For example, acute intracranial hematoma compression, brain parenchymal damage after edema caused by intracranial pressure, can cause adult epilepsy.

Secondly, with the development of society and the change of health symptoms, adult epilepsy caused by brain parasitic disease has been reduced. The disease is mainly prevalent in North China, Northeast China and Yunnan. By eating food or water contaminated by eggs, the eggs enter the body and parasitize in the high cerebral cortex with blood circulation, resulting in adult epilepsy.

Finally: drinking is also the cause of adult epilepsy, because long-term high-dose drinking, can produce gastritis, pancreatitis, liver injury, arrhythmia, hematopoietic function and immune function can be abnormal, cause brain atrophy, lead to adult epilepsy, and even lead to low attention, memory loss may dementia.

matters needing attention

For patients with epilepsy to timely relieve the pressure from all aspects of life, epilepsy patients should try to use less excitatory drinks. Therefore, caffeine in this kind of beverage can make brain cells excited, abnormal discharge, make seizures. Should avoid alcohol, drinking can make nervous system highly excited, and reduce the threshold of epileptic focus, easy to induce seizures.
