My husband blows air while sleeping and foams at the mouth

Many people blow air and spit out white foam from their mouths when they sleep. When this happens, you should pay attention to it. Don't think it's caused by obesity or tiredness, because when this happens, it is likely that you have epilepsy. Epilepsy is also called epilepsy or epilepsy. It is a neurological disease and a chronic disease with impaired brain function.

Cause 1:

The probability of epilepsy after cranial trauma is higher. The longer the coma time and the more severe the brain parenchyma damage, the higher the probability of epilepsy. For example, intracranial hematoma pressure in the acute stage and intracranial pressure caused by edema after brain parenchyma damage can all cause adult epilepsy. Damage after cranial surgery and brain atrophy after cerebral contusion can lead to insufficient blood supply and oxygen supply to the brain, and brain cell function can be disordered, causing adult epilepsy.

Cause 2:

Intracranial infections such as various encephalitis and meningitis can cause inflammation and edema of the upper cerebral cortex, resulting in adult epilepsy. In the sequelae, scarring in the brain parenchyma and adhesions to the meninges can also cause adult epilepsy. Therefore, intracranial infections should be diagnosed and treated early and actively to reduce the occurrence of sequelae and complications.

Cause 3:

With the progress of society and the change of health symptoms, the incidence of adult epilepsy caused by brain parasites has decreased. This disease is mainly prevalent in North China, Northeast China, Yunnan and other places in our country. The eggs enter the body after eating food or drinking water contaminated by the eggs, and parasitize in the higher cerebral cortex through the blood circulation, causing epilepsy in adults.

Cause 4:

Drinking is also a cause of epilepsy in adults. Long-term and large-dose drinking can cause gastritis, pancreatitis, liver damage, arrhythmia, abnormal hematopoietic function and immune function. The most important thing is the toxicity of nerve structure, which causes vitamin B1 deficiency in the body, leading to metabolic disorders of brain tissue, causing brain atrophy, leading to adult epilepsy, and even causing attention deficit, memory loss, and possible dementia. Acute ethanol poisoning can directly cause epilepsy in adults. In addition, causing trouble after drinking, fighting or causing traffic accidents, leading to cranial trauma, can produce secondary epilepsy after trauma.

1. Types of epileptic seizures: muscle twitching seizures:

This type is more difficult to describe in words. For example, if we are startled by someone shouting from behind, the whole body will tremble, which is a generalized muscle tic.

2. Atonic seizures:

Imagine a puppet that is controlled by strings. The epileptic seizure is like the strings suddenly breaking. When the child has an epileptic seizure, he or she will suddenly fall down with all the powerlessness, just like the puppet with the strings broken.

3. Simple partial epileptic seizure:

The above types are all systemic seizures. During the seizure, the patient loses consciousness and has no communication with the outside world. However, during a simple local seizure, the patient is conscious and has good communication with the outside world. The symptoms may be twitching of one hand, one foot or half of the face, or there may be no twitching at all, but only a strange feeling or the scene in front of the eyes suddenly becomes very strange. Some people may have hallucinations, suddenly see strange images in front of their eyes, or suddenly hear strange sounds in their ears.

Usually before a seizure occurs, the patient will feel that a seizure is about to occur, and then various involuntary movements will occur, and the patient will lose consciousness, and the whole person will have no memory afterward. The seizure type of epilepsy is involuntary movements such as blinking, chewing, groping aimlessly with both hands, or walking around, etc. The entire seizure may last more than a minute.

5. Baby head spasms:

Usually occurs in infants under 2 years old, when they just wake up or are about to fall asleep, they will have similar head movements. The seizure type is like dozing off, but the amplitude and intensity of the shaking are greater. It usually occurs more than ten times in a few minutes, and even up to 50 or 60 times. Even when lying in bed, the child's head or trunk can be seen beating. If the amplitude of the movement is large, it can also be combined with trunk bending and hands reaching forward.
