EPILEPSY

The brain is the most complex part

of the human body.

This three-pound organ is the seat of

intelligence, interpreter of the

senses, initiator of body movement,

and controller of behavior.

Lying in its bony shell and washed

by protective fluid, the brain is the

source of all the qualities that define

our humanity.

The brain is the crown jewel of the

human body.

A seizure is a sudden surge of

electrical activity in the brain that

usually affects how a person feels or

acts for a short time.

Seizures are not a disease in

themselves.

There are symptoms of many different

disorders that can affect the brain.

The seizures in epilepsy may be

related to a brain injury or a family

tendency, but often the cause is

completely unknown.

What are Seizures?

OnlineRx Medicines Call - (USA): +1(646) 681 4902

Sudden loss of consciousness, usually without warning,

A general stiffening of the body, often with forceful expiration

of air,

If the person having the seizure is standing when this

happens, there can be a hard fall to ground or floor,

There may be biting of the tongue,

Passage of urine,

Defecation or vomiting (rarely),

Sometimes a change in color to a purplish-

blue.

This phase generally lasts about 30 seconds.

What is Epilepsy?

Epilepsy is a neurological condition.

It is a chronic (long-lasting) medical

condition marked by recurrent

epileptic seizures.

An epileptic seizure is an event of

altered brain function caused by

abnormal or excessive electrical

discharges from brain cells.

Hence, Epilepsy is sometimes called

a seizure disorder.

Different Kinds of Epilepsy?

OnlineRx Medicines Call - (USA): +1(646) 681 4902

In less than half the cases of epilepsy, there is a specific identifiable brain

problem that causes the seizures. These include:

Infectious illness (such as meningitis or encephalitis),

Brain malformation during pregnancy,

Trauma to the brain (including lack of oxygen) due to an accident before,

during, or after birth or later in childhood,

Metabolic disorders (chemical imbalances in the brain),

Brain tumors,

Blood vessel malformation,

Strokes,

Chromosome disorders.

Causes of Epilepsy?

OnlineRx Medicines Call - (USA): +1(646) 681 4902

Medical History- The physician asks for a

detailed description of the seizures, as well as

family and personal health histories (including

pregnancy, birth and development).

Physical Exam and Lab Tests- A complete

physical is done to determine whether the

seizures are caused by an specific physical or

metabolic problems.

Neurological Exam- This includes a thorough

study of the nervous system. An EEG

(electroencephalogram) may help identify any

abnormal electrical activity in the brain. CT or

MRI scans may be used to examine the

internal structure of the brain.

How is Epilepsy Diagnosed?

OnlineRx Medicines Call - (USA): +1(646) 681 4902

Most people who have epilepsy -

about 80 percent - can have their

seizures controlled by taking

medicines. Sometimes, if the

medicine does not work, doctors

may operate on the brain or put

some kids on a special diet (called a

"ketogenic" diet).

Epilepsy does not get worse as

people get older. In fact, many kids

with epilepsy get better as they get

older and can stop taking medicine.

The more you take control, the better you can manage your epilepsy -

Understand your epilepsy, including your seizure type.

Make sure to talk to your neurologist or epileptologist about all available

treatment options.

Bring your epilepsy medications to each neurologist visit.

Take your medication regularly. Linking this to a routine may be helpful

(when you brush your teeth, prepare for bed, etc). There are also devices

that can help—like a watch that beeps when your dose is due.

Get enough sleep—lack of it can bring on epileptic seizures.

Keep following up with your neurologist. If you are having seizures or are

having difficulty with side effects, you may need to change your epilepsy

medicine or dose.
