Epilepsy is a common chronic neurological disorder characterized by recurrent unprovoked seizures.These seizures are transient signs and/or symptoms of abnormal, excessive or synchronous neuronal activity in the brain.About 50 million people worldwide have epilepsy, with almost 90% of these people being in developing countries. Epilepsy is more likely to occur in young children, or people over the age of 65 years, however it can occur at any time.Epilepsy is usually controlled, but not cured, with medication, although surgery may be considered in difficult cases. However, over 30% of people with epilepsy do not have seizure control even with the best available medications.Not all epilepsy syndromes are lifelong – some forms are confined to particular stages of childhood. Epilepsy should not be understood as a single disorder, but rather as syndromic with vastly divergent symptoms but all involving episodic abnormal electrical activity in the brain. how to cure EPILEPSY?

FPRIVATE "TYPE=PICT;ALT=" There is no cure for epilepsy, yet. Medications do not cure epilepsy in the same sense that penicillin can cure an infection. For many people with epilepsy, however, the medication will prevent seizures as long as they are taken regularly; but, successful drug therapy requires the active cooperation of the patient. Antiepileptic drugs successfully prevent seizures in the majority of people who take them regularly and as prescribed. It has been estimated that at least fifty percent of all patients with epilepsy gain complete control of their seizures for substantial periods of time. Another twenty percent enjoy a significant reduction in the number of seizures. If patients, in collaboration with their physicians, decide to attempt withdrawal from medications, they should be aware that the seizures may recur and should closely observe seizure precautions. Some individuals, however, have an excellent chance of remaining seizure free without medication in the future. Dizziness refers to an impairment in spatial perception and stability. It is considered imprecise. It can be used to mean vertigo, presyncope, disequilibrium, or for a non-specific feeling such as giddiness or foolishness.Dizziness may be just mildly annoying or caused by something possibly life threatening. how to prevent dizziness At the first signs of dizziness, lightheadedness, so faint feelings, sit down immediately to prevent yourself from being hurt. Stay seated for about two minutes, or until you feel better. To prevent dizziness if you are turning or spinning (such as in swing dancing), keep staring at the same spot when you complete a spin. While seated (if the dizzy spell is strong) place your head between your legs for about three minutes, or until the dizziness wears off. Close you eyes very tightly and keep them squeezed as hard as you can until dizziness wears off •

how to cure dizziness step 1 Change your diet to include more nutritional supplements. Avoid caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, and high-calorie foods. Also, lower your intake of salt and try taking vitamin supplements, like magnesium citrate and vitamin B12. Step 2 Use herbal remedies like ginkgo biloba and ginger. Ginger helps with the treatment of nausea, and ginkgo biloba increases blood flow to the brain, which also prevents dizziness (see References).

Step 3 Try homeopathic therapy to alleviate dizziness. Homeopathy is a variety of alternative medicines that reciprocate the ailments to dilute the cause. Aconite is helpful if you begin to feel light-headed when you sit up too quickly. Coccolus helps with ailments of motion sickness and gelsemium helps to combat dizziness symptoms associated with the common cold. Step 4 Try other forms of therapy, like acupressure, and osteopathy, if you are still experiencing problems with dizziness. These therapies will help if your dizziness derives from stress or tension in your muscles and nervous system. Step 5 See a doctor to determine the cause of the dizziness if you are still experiencing severe symptoms. Once the root cause is found, the doctor may prescribe selective Neuralgia is pain in one or more nerves[1] that occurs without stimulation of pain receptor (nociceptor) cells. Neuralgia pain is produced by a change in neurological structure or function rather than by the excitation of pain receptors that causes nociceptive pain. Neuralgia falls into two categories: central neuralgia and peripheral neuralgia. how to prevent neuralgia? step1 Eat healthy foods. One cause of neuralgia is a poor diet. A person should eat plenty of whole grains and green vegetables for the B vitamins essential for nerve health. A whole foods diet with adequate protein, carbohydrates, and fats that also includes yeast, liver, and wheat germ may also be helpful in preventing neuritis. Thiamine (vitamin B1) is especially important. Without thiamine, the nerves are unable to use carbohydrates for energy. Step 2 Brush teeth regularly and keep good dental hygiene. One of the causes of trigeminal neuralgia is pain in the teeth. It could be due to undetected tooth abscesses and other infections. If a person maintains good dental hygiene, it can prevent trigeminal neuralgia. Step 3 Keep strict control of blood sugar. Since diabetes can lead to neuralgia, preventing diabetes or controlling diabetes can help prevent the development of neuralgia. Step 4 Visit doctor to treat shingles. People with shingles should see a doctor within three days of developing the rash because aggressive treatment of the blisters can minimize the risk of developing postherpetic neuralgia. Step 5 Get vaccinated. Two vaccines may help prevent shingles and prevent it from leading to postherpetic neuralgia. Both the chickenpox (varicella) vaccine and the shingles (varicella-zoster) vaccine can prevent someone from getting shingles and, eventually, postherpetic neuralgia A haematoma, or hematoma, is a collection of blood outside the blood vessels,[1] generally the result of hemorrhage, or more specifically, internal bleeding. It is not to be confused with haemangioma which is an abnormal build up of blood vessels in the skin or internal organs. Step 1 Given the time sensitivity of the situation, it is important that every head injury is treated seriously and a CT scan is performed to check for this condition. Step 2 If a hematoma is detected, the neurosurgeon will perform a surgery right away to release the pressure by extracting the blood out from the brain tissue. The bleeding vessel would also be treated at the same time to prevent further bleeding. Step 3 It is always a good idea to wear a helmet during dangerous sports to prevent this type of head trauma. It would definitely make a difference in case of an accident in deciding between your life and death. medicine a headache or cephalalgia is a symptom of a number of different conditions of the headHYPERLINK \l "cite_note-0"[1].
