Can epilepsy patients drink water frequently in their daily life?
Patients with epilepsy can often drink water in their daily lives, but they should avoid drinking water during the acute phase of a seizure to prevent aspiration. Patients with epilepsy generally need to take anti-epileptic drugs for a long time to prevent seizures, such as carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, gabapentin, etc. Drinking water frequently does not affect the patient's condition. Moreover, drinking water frequently helps to dilute the viscosity in the blood and lower blood lipids, thereby preventing cerebral vascular accidents. In addition to drinking water, patients with epilepsy can also eat more fruits and vegetables, which contain abundant vitamins and trace elements that nourish nerve cells. Furthermore, patients with epilepsy should avoid climbing heights and coming into contact with dangerous environments such as ponds and lakesides.
