How to Prevent Myoclonic Seizures
It is impossible to prevent myoclonic seizures completely. Nevertheless, you may take the following measures to lower the risk:
– Wear safety belts or helmets to protect your head from any injuries, which are common causes of myoclonic seizures
– Avoid abusing illicit substances, prescription medications, or alcohol as they all increase the risk of myoclonic seizures
– Manage medical conditions well: Type 1 or type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart attacks, or strokes may increase the risk of myoclonic seizures
– Avoid seizure triggers, such as flashing lights, noises, weather changes, foods, or more
– Treat infections to prevent them from affecting the brain [6]
