A person who has epilepsy is often ostracized. In fact, they can live like a normal healthy person. It is very important to know information about epilepsy, especially that you are not misunderstanding about this disease.
According to dr. Jofizal Jannis, a neurologist from the Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia, epilepsy is similar to the relationship of electrical current that occurs in the brain. When attacks occur, it can cause seizures, killing consciousness, feeling uncomfortable, muscle cramps, dark vision, or a combination of these symptoms.
The cause of epilepsy can be easily known but could be without cause. "A common cause is high heat, impact on the head, infectious disease, pressure on the brain, or chemical imbalances. Often these attacks occurred as if without cause," said dr. Jofizal.
To find out the cause in detail, it should be a thorough medical examination. But the most important thing is knowing how to act right when you come across siblings, relatives or others who have epilepsy.
Here are some actions you should do, as reported by the informational pamphlets Epilepsy Clinic, Department of Neurology, Hospital Cipto Mangunkusumo.
- Stay calm
When viewing a person stricken with epilepsy, avoid panicking. Try to stay calm. It will be much more helpful and you can think more to act more precisely.
- Tilt the head
Tilt the patient's head to the side to prevent blockage of the respiratory tract.
- Do not give drinks
Do not put something like a spoon in the mouth of someone who is stricken with epilepsy, including drench. Do not also try to stop the attack by holding or shaking.
- Bring to a safer place
Send the patient to a more secure, calm and quiet when the attack has been completed. Patients usually are still confused and not know what happened.
- Check your doctor
Immediately to the hospital if this is the first attack or if the attacks are considered different or longer than the form of previous attacks.
