You have to continue medicine without any break for next 3 years and then only it will be tapered off by your doctor.

My mother 50 years old had seizure for the first time and doctor gave her levetiracetam medicine 500 twice daily. They said it happened due to less oxygen in brain. Kindly tell me doctor is this can be cured completely. Do she have to take medicine for entire life or it can be cured completely. Can ayurvedic or homeopathy medicine helps in curing this. Kindly help.

The EEG of your mother needs to be studied to say if she will treatment for life long or not . The ayurvedic or homoeopathy medicines will not help in curing this

Hello,
epilepsia partialis continua is a difficult thing to control and treat, sometimes the only answer is epilesy surgery. I would advise you to go to higher neurologic centre whichever is possible for you for further planning. Agar aap pahle gaye ho to wahin jaker dekho, iska ilaj mushkil hai shayad epilepsy surgery se theek ho sakta hai.

Side effects needs to be monitored monthly and remember treatment depends on benefits outweigh the risks and if symptomatic for seizures than it can cause more brain damage and so take monthly followup

Health Query

I was having a problem of getting total unconscious for a time of 2 to 3 minutes in a gap of 2-3 months since last 10 years. Mri was normal but neurologist had put me on levetiracetam 500 mg twice in a day for a period of 3 years. Since then I have not got unconscious. Three years of taking meds are completing after 3 months. I am afraid that after slowly reducing and quitting medicine my problem may come back. Is it ok to quit the medicine without any future complications or relapse of the unconsciousness problem? Please guide and clear my doubt.

Asked for male, 30 years old from Mumbai

Hi, My mom is 55 years old, she underwent head (brain operation) 11 years ago due to a clot in the head. Currently she is undergoing neurological treatment since she becomes unconscious for few seconds due to seizures in brain. She is consuming, (Oxetol 300+300+150=750 mg, Lacoset 100+100=200 mg, Levepsy 500+500=100 mg and Nexito 10+5=15 mg) per day. Recently she had low blood pressure and we underwent an ecg test and her heart rate was 58. These were the results of ecg (HR 158bpm, PR interval 158ms, QRS duration 82ms, T duration 178ms, QT/Qtc 422/425ms, P/QRS/T Axis 67.4/45.8/46. 4 degree, R (V5) / S (V1) 0.55/0.35mV, R (V5) + S (V1) 0.90mV) Conclusions - Sinus Mode Bradycardia, Cardiac electric axis normal, aVL V4 V5 V6 Abnormal T wave. I assume the heart rate is low due to the medication she is undergoing? Please advise.

These do not usually cause bradycardia. Do a net search, first search for active ingredient of each of these medicines, next search: ingredient adverse effect sinus bradycardia for each of them.

Sorry to know about your father. You mentioned ct guided fnac showed metastasis. From the information you have provided it looks like it is a case of lung cancer with brain and bone metastases. I would suggest you consult a oncologist for further guidance.

Hi, From Dehradun (uttarakhand) India. I used to be a chronic alcoholic person. As result, 2 nos. Blood clots found in my brain thru mri. In my right hand side of my brain, which were removed by doctors thru surgery and advised liver treating medicines. After 10 days consumption of the said medicine, I continued to be alcoholic as earlier and assumed that after the brain surgery, I am normal now. However, I started getting sequence of seizures only after one month of surgery. I spent about 5 days in the hospital release with new set of medicine "levetiracetam 1g" and "clobazam 1g" and "epsolin - phenytoin sodium tab ip" for 2 months. Now I absolutely stopped consuming alcohol. But since last few weeks, my feet are swelling to its normal size and causes pain too, since I continue to wore socks 24 hrs due to cold winters. And wear shoes at work too. Swelling and itching in my feet are now become a problem for me know.

Kindly continue medicines which your doctor has suggested for seizures.
Since you already had clot in brain , there is a possibility that you may be having clots in your leg that may be affecting the blood circulation in legs . Doppler examination of both feets can help . Also if your foot wear is tight than chnage it
Avoid prolonged standing on feets.
Leg elevation can also help to decrease medicines.
Decrease your salt intake in diet
