passed away, and I never had it again until I was seventeen. Few days after my seventeenth
birthday the seizure returned. After this incident, a series of tests that included
neuroimaging, laboratory testing, and EEG was carried out, and I was diagnosed with status
epilepticus disorder. This is a single seizure that lasts for more than five minutes or causing
two or more seizures with a period of 5 minutes without the person returning to normal
between them. Epileptic seizure disorder is a chronic brain disorder that is characterized by
reoccurring, ? 2 unprovoked seizures. This type of seizure is not related to a reversible
stressor. A seizure is an abnormal, unregulated electrical discharge that occurs within the
brain’s cortical gray matter and transiently interrupts normal brain function. The doctor
described my type of epilepsy as one that is idiopathic, meaning that the cause is unknown.
However, different brain disorders such as malformations, strokes, and tumors are
implicated in causing symptomatic epilepsy. Typically, when I have a seizure, it comes with
altered awareness, abnormal sensations, focal involuntary movements, or
convulsions.ORDER NOW FOR CUSTOMIZED, PLAGIARISM-FREE
PAPERSundefinedEpilepsy has complications or worsening effects on different systems of
the body. It affects the cardiac system causing hypertension, tachycardia, arrhythmias, and
cardiac arrest. Cardiac arrhythmias may be precipitated by lactic acidosis and elevated
catecholamines. The autonomic system is likewise affected with indicating symptoms like
fever, sweating, hypersecretion, and vomiting. Hyperthermia can occur because of too much
of convulsive muscle contraction and hypothalamic effects. Autonomic defects and cardiac
arrhythmias are known to play a role in most mortality of and sudden death of epilepsy
patients. In the pulmonary system, complication that can occur include apnea, respiratory
failure, hypoxia, neurogenic pulmonary, edema, and aspiration pneumonia. The metabolic
system complications due to epilepsy include hyperkalemia, hyperglycemia then
hypoglycemia, volume depletion, venous stasis, and possible thrombosis. Cerebral blood
flow and metabolism are raised in patients in early epilepsy but declines and the increased

2. metabolism of discharging neurons may outstrip the oxygen and glucose supply. The
endocrine system may also show increased prolactin and cortisol level. Epilepsy can also
result in the progressive loss of inhibitory GABA receptors, which can be sued in
determining when epilepsy becomes more intractable to treatment and physiologically
dangerous. After repeated seizure, rhabdomyolysis can occur and cause hypotension, which
can result in kidney failure.undefinedEpilepsy has created a huge impact in various aspects
of my life. It has impacted my education, employment, social interactions, family
relationships, and experiential activities. I currently experience impaired social cognitive
skills and sufferer from communication problems and interpersonal difficulties. I constantly
have the fear of having a seizure when in public with friends, and this has caused a huge
limitation in my social interaction with people. Growing up, I experienced stigmatization
because of my illness. Now, I am glad that a lot of effort has been put into de-stigmatizing
patients with epilepsy and empowering them. Many patients with epilepsy have fewer
social s, are less likely to marry, have children and many unemployables. Many epileptic
patients have difficulties in developing interpersonal skills.undefined undefinedManaging
epilepsy can be complicated because of the aspects of life it affects. The priorities for
successfully managing the disease include taking medications regularly, maintaining a
healthy habit that includes diet and exercise, having seizure safety guidelines in mind, and
evading medications that can worsen the seizure. Also, it is important to attend treatment
reviews at least once a year and know certain things in your environment that can cause
you have a seizure. It is also important to develop relationships and talk to people; epilepsy
can make someone feel sad, stressed, lonely, anxious, or depressed. Lastly, there is no
straight road when to comes to developing the best care regimen. It is imperative to keep
trying new approaches until the one that best suits an epileptic patient is
found.undefinedTwo groups of medication classes are considered as anticonvulsants
against epilepsy: Very rapidly acting anticonvulsants and anticonvulsants that act less
rapidly. The very rapid acting anticonvulsants are needed for the interruption of status
epilepticus, especially if pathological and physiological effects are impending. They generate
an effect within 1 – 5 minutes; these are the benzodiazepines such as diazepam and
lorazepam, and pentobarbital. The anticonvulsants that are less rapid but provide a
protection against the reemergence of epilepsy; their effect is felt within 5 minutes to an
hour and they include Phenytoin, Valproic acid, Phenobarbital, and Fosphenytoin. You can
