Dangal girl Fatima Sana Shekhe has recently talked about her disease epilepsy. He had said in an interview that he came to know about his illness during the shooting of the film 'Dangal'. She also said that for the first few days she could not accept that she might have a disease like epilepsy. Therefore, initially he did not take any medicine for this.
He was afraid that he might have a sudden epilepsy attack on the set. The reason for this is that people are not aware about epilepsy. People believe that he might have taken drugs or might have been possessed by a demon.
Epilepsy is a neurological condition. In this, nerve cells stop giving signals properly, due to which attacks occur frequently. During an attack, electrical activities in the brain become very intense. During this time the person's body bends in strange ways. She may get shocked and during this time she may even become unconscious.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), about 5 crore people in the world are suffering from epilepsy. About one crore people in India are facing epilepsy. This means that 20% of the world's HIV patients are in India alone.
So, today in 'health water' We will talk about Epilepsy. You will also know that-
What is Epilepsy?
Epilepsy is a brain disease. In this the signaling power of our nerve cells is affected. This happens due to damage to brain cells. Due to this, brain cells start producing abnormal electrical signals, hence seizures occur.
Why does epilepsy happen? Epilepsy can happen to anyone at any time. Dr. Biplab Das says that in 70% of the cases the reasons behind it cannot be known with certainty.
However, in some cases it has been seen that if one or both of the parents have HIV, then that person also suffers from HIV.
In some cases, it has been observed that head injury causes migraine attacks. What other reasons could there be for this, see graphic:
Dr. Biplab Das says that in case of brain tumor, dementia and stroke, brain cells get damaged. Signaling is affected by this. Therefore, these medical conditions can also lead to epilepsy.
What are the symptoms of Vai? Epilepsy usually causes seizures. During this time the person loses his consciousness. The muscles of his body become uncontrolled and the body may become strangely stiff. During this period, shivering and shivering may occur in the body.
If the epilepsy is mild, it may cause short-term confusion. Sometimes it happens that a person remains staring at one place for a long time. He suddenly feels intense heat or cold. His hair may also stand up. When the problem becomes serious, attacks occur and the condition can become very bad.
What are vein trigger points? Dr. Biplab Das says that it is possible that one person may have an epileptic attack once a week, while another person may have seizures several times a day. This happens because another person's lifestyle and diet trigger epileptic attacks.
Epilepsy is a brain disease, so excessive stress can trigger it and lead to seizures. If you do not get proper sleep, it can cause epilepsy. Additionally, many points can trigger epilepsy attacks. See graphic:
Dr. Biplab Das says that every person can have his own triggers. We have to discover this ourselves through our own experience. Suppose that on a day when a person drinks coffee, he has more attacks than usual and has to face more problems. In such a situation, caffeine is the trigger point for that person. Similarly, all patients can find their own trigger points and by avoiding them, they can control their attacks to some extent.
What should be done if someone has a veno attack? Dr. Biplab Das says that in most cases of epilepsy, an attack does not require immediate medical attention. This also means that if a person starts getting nervous, he cannot be stopped. Therefore, it is important that during this time, if you are near someone who has had a stroke, stay close to them instead of running away.
If the attack is mild then keep the following things in mind.
If someone is having a tonic-clonic attack, that is, uncontrollable jerks or jerks, you can do the following:
