summary

My brother-in-law's child was just born. It often looks like a draught, but it doesn't look like a draught. When it comes to the disease, his eyes turn up and his hands stretch forward, and he will smile. The smile is a bit scary. The examination says that it is epilepsy. After hospitalization, it is much better now. Here, I will write out the experience of which examinations should be done to diagnose epilepsy and share with you.

What tests should be done to diagnose epilepsy

Symptom 1: usually before the attack, the patient will have the feeling that he is about to attack, and then appear all kinds of involuntary actions, and lose consciousness, the whole person can't remember completely.

Symptom 2: the seizure type of epilepsy is involuntary action, can be blinking, chewing, two hands aimlessly touch or walk around and so on. The whole episode may take more than a minute.

Symptom 3: usually occurs in infants under 2 years old, when they just wake up or will fall asleep, they will have head like movements. The type of epileptic seizures is like dozing, but the amplitude and intensity of shaking is greater. Usually they appear more than ten times in a few minutes, or even as high as 50 or 60 times. Even when they lie in bed, they can see the beating of their head or trunk. If the range of motion is large, it can also be combined with trunk bending and hand extension.

matters needing attention

Due to lack of understanding and misunderstanding of traditional concepts, epilepsy patients are often afraid of epilepsy. To overcome the inferiority complex of patients, we should start from the understanding of epilepsy. In fact, epilepsy is just a state of disease, which is characterized by recurrent paroxysmal symptoms, and it is no different from normal people when it does not attack. It is wrong to equate epilepsy with mental retardation and mental disorder. Epilepsy patients should take part in work and social activities to enhance their social adaptability. At the same time, we should establish a firm belief to overcome the disease, choose the correct treatment methods, and strive to control the attack or cure.
