Because you may not remember anything about the seizure, it's a good idea to get a detailed description from somebody who saw it and write it down afterward so you can tell the doctor specific details. All of these tests are painless. If the neurologist determines that you have epilepsy, he or she may recommend some form of treatment, such as medication, surgery, or a special diet. The goal of treatment is to control seizures so that a person can live as normally as possible. The main component of epilepsy treatment is medication therapy.
Many anticonvulsant medicines are available that can reduce the frequency or severity of seizures.
In some cases, surgery can reduce or eliminate seizures. This device sends signals through the vagus nerve in the neck in order to control seizures. Sometimes doctors can help by performing surgery directly on the brain tissue of people with epilepsy that can't be controlled by other treatments. For specific medical advice, diagnoses, and treatment, consult your doctor.
