Common questions about Epilepsy & Seizures treatments at Raj Hospital
While there is no singular cure, a significant majority of patients achieve complete seizure control with the right medication. Some children may even outgrow epilepsy with age.
Keep them safe from injury by moving hard objects away, place them on their side to keep the airway clear, time the seizure, and do not put anything in their mouth. Call 108 or emergency services if the seizure lasts more than 5 minutes, another seizure follows, it is a first seizure, the person is injured or pregnant, has trouble breathing, or does not wake up normally afterwards.
Yes, extreme stress is a common neurological trigger. Effective stress management combined with consistent sleep significantly reduces the risk of triggered seizures.
Most epilepsy cases have no identifiable cause. However, certain types do have definitive genetic links where a person may inherit a lower seizure threshold, i.e. a greater tendency to have seizures.
Driving rules for people with epilepsy differ between countries. In India, epilepsy must be declared when applying for a driving licence and can affect eligibility. Do not drive until your neurologist advises it is safe and you meet the legal requirements.
