Epilepsy – Diagnosis & Treatment

Physical Exam

Before starting any diagnostic test, a doctor often reviews your family and medical history to check whether seizures run in the family. In addition, they would ask about the possible signs that you have experienced. Some questions that you need to prepare at home include:

– How do you feel before, during, and after epilepsy?

– What did you do right before the seizure occurred?

– How long did the seizure last?

– Did you face any possible triggers?

– Specific information about your vision, sounds, tastes, feelings, and sensations.

After that, the doctor will do a physical exam to find out any medical condition that leads to your epilepsy. [2]
