SEIZURE DISORDER
PREVENTION |

|
Eating properly, getting enough sleep,
and controlling stress and fevers can help prevent seizures. A
person who has epilepsy should be careful not to hyperventilate. A
person who experiences an aura should find a safe place to lie down
and stay there until the seizure passes. Anticonvulsant medications
should not be stopped suddenly and, if other medications are
prescribed or discontinued, the doctor treating the seizures should
be notified. In some conditions, such as severe head injury, brain
surgery, or subarachnoid hemorrhage, anticonvulsant medications may
be given to the patient to prevent seizures. |
