Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that affects the brain and causes recurring seizures or fits in patients. It is due to the uncontrolled increase in electrical activity in the brain that interferes with normal functioning and causes a short interruption to the relay of messages to the brain. Symptoms: -
*Sudden twitching (Uncontrollable jerking motions of the arms and legs)
*Loss of consciousness
*Stiff muscles
*Temporary confusion
Psychological symptoms such as fear, anxiety, or déjà vu. **Tips for Patient and Caretakers: -*
+Do not skip the medications advised by doctors even if you are not having seizures.
+Consult your doctor if you have any medication for other pre-existing illnesses.
+Don’t drink alcohol because it provokes seizures.
+Don’t restrain a person during a seizure.
+Loosen any tight neckwear and gently roll the patient on one side.
