Has my 15-year-old's EEG shown epilepsy improvement?

Patient's Query

Dear Dr. My 15 year old has been diagnosed with generalized tonic clonic epilepsy. He has done 2 eegs. 1st eeg (done November 23) said it posterior dominant rhythm was 12 hz. The 2nd one (done November 24) said it's posterior dominant rhythm is 9 hz. 1st eeg: bilateral synchronous anterior predominant spikewave epiltiform recorded occuring isolated or 400-600 ms. 2nd eeg: bilateral synchronous anterior predominant spikewave epiltiform recorded at maximal @ FP@,F4,F8,FP1,F3,F7 in 600 ms. Stage II was obtained. Is there improvement between the 2 or has it worsened slightly? The Conclusiofor the 2nd was This was an abnormal awake, drowsy and stage II sleep electroencephalogram. Bilateral synchronous anteriorly predominant spike-wave epileptiform discharges were recorded as described above. In the correct clinical setting, these findings are suggestive of a genetic generalized epilepsy with the differential diagnosis of a frontal focus with rapid secondary bilateral synchrony. Is the conclusion serious?

Answered by Dr. Gurneet Sawhney

Dear Parent, Thank you for your inquiry. The EEG results show some epileptiform activity that is ongoing, which can be of great concern. The change from a 12 Hz to a 9 Hz rhythm and being assured of the findings suggests that although there is some activity, it does not necessarily represent a change of the situation; rather, it may just indicate differences in the EEG readings. The summary implies that the patient may have a genetically generalized epilepsy that is treatable with continuous medical care. Please, I advise you to analyze the mentioned details with your doctor in order to have the necessary treatment and your child's support get quality. Best wishes, [Your Name]

Stuttering can have various causes, such as genetics, neurological factors, or even emotional stress. It's essential to consult with a speech therapist who can provide you with tailored techniques to improve your speech fluency. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques like deep breathing and speaking slowly can also help. Seeking professional help is a positive step towards managing your condition effectively.

A daytime sleep schedule not only helps a patient with fibromyalgia to get better but is also of paramount importance to them to avoid sleeping after midnight. Sleep can aggravate or diminish pain, tiredness, and even exacerbations. Adjusting the sleep schedule 3-4 hours before midnight might be a good way to augment sleep quality. Convince your mother to give sleep a priority so that she can not only reduce what she is experiencing but also have better overall health.

Patient status is post tracheostomy Unable to move hands and leg Ventilator is being used What are the charges to shift in your hospital

Female | 18

When a patient has had a tracheostomy and is on a ventilator, it's important to ensure a smooth transition. The inability to move hands and legs could be due to various reasons, such as prolonged immobilization, nerve damage, or muscle weakness. In such cases, specialized care is necessary to address these issues effectively. I recommend contacting our hospital directly to discuss the specific needs of the patient so he can provide the best possible care.

I am a 23 year old female who has been having headaches since I've given birth but still no changes of it going away even If I use painkillers. I'm alsohaving chest pain and throat pain for two weeks now, what should I do?

Female | 23

It is quite normal to experience headaches due to hormonal changes and lack of sleep after childbirth. However, headache shooting coupled with chest and throat pain should not be ignored. It is essential to eliminate the fear of serious conditions, such as postpartum preeclampsia or infections. You should go for a medical evaluation as soon as possible to find out the cause and the right treatment.

Before going to the hospital, gather all your dad's medical records. Write­ down notes about how he's bee­n doing lately. This information will help the doctors unde­rstand his situation and make a good treatment plan just for him.
