What are the initial symptoms of sleep-related epilepsy?
The initial symptoms of sleep-related epilepsy mainly include sudden opening of the eyes and panic symptoms at the onset of sleep. A few patients may exhibit aggressive behavior towards others, and some may experience movement disorders and abnormal muscle tone. For these patients, it is necessary to promptly receive examinations and treatment in neurology. Diagnostic methods mainly include video EEG, ambulatory EEG, cranial CT, and MRI, among others. Once diagnosed, timely intervention should be provided. For some patients, if it is the first seizure and not frequent, interventions through lifestyle and sleep adjustments can be implemented without immediately resorting to medication. If these adjustments are ineffective or if the patient frequently experiences seizures, appropriate medications should be administered in a timely manner, including drugs such as sodium valproate, carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, and levetiracetam, among others. (Medication should be taken under the guidance of a doctor)
