Precautions while taking anti- seizure medicine? Are old people more prone to seizure? How to reduce them?
Patient: Hi Can you tell me what patients should definitely avoid taking or doing,  while taking an anti-seizure medication? If a person gets seizures during the night while they are sleeping can this be more dangerous? As a person gets older, do they end up having more seizures? Are seizures in adult patients (40+) common? What could have caused the seizures to suddenly come out?   What can be done to reduce or stop the number of seizures. Doctor: HI Thank for choosing HCMSeizures is symptom and not the disease it self, and this could happened due to the abnormal electrical activity of neurons inside the brain, often called convulsion in medical terms, It can be Epileptic convulsion, convulsion due to potassium, sodium disturbances   (either Grandmal or petit mal) Febrile Convulsion (Pediatric Age group) Brain infection (Meningitis) also induces convulsion, the most common type of convulsion is generalized tonic clonic one (epilepsy), this can be occur at any age groups more common in male patients, newer drugs are available which gives very good results, all convulsions are being treated according to under laying cause, for epileptic seizures life long medicine required, ( Natural remission of seizures often noticed) Hope this will help you. good day.
