Causes of sudden fainting, convulsions and foaming at the mouth

Possible diseases that may cause this symptom include epilepsy, hypoglycemia, hysteria, and others. It is recommended to go to a local hospital to see a neurologist to identify the true cause for treatment. No matter what the disease is, early detection and early treatment can effectively control the development of the disease.

epilepsy

Epilepsy is a chronic, recurring syndrome of transient brain dysfunction. It is characterized by recurrent epileptic seizures caused by abnormal discharges of brain neurons. Epilepsy is one of the common diseases of the nervous system, and its prevalence is second only to stroke. The incidence of epilepsy is related to age. It is generally believed that the incidence rate is highest within 1 year old, followed by a gradual decrease after 1 to 10 years old. The male-to-female ratio in my country is 1.15:1 to 1.7:1. There was no significant difference in prevalence by race.

Hypoglycemia

Hypoglycemia refers to a blood glucose concentration below 2.77mmol/l (50mg/dl) and is a common complication of diabetic patients treated with oral hypoglycemic drugs or insulin. The early symptoms of hypoglycemia are mainly autonomic nervous system, especially sympathetic nervous system excitement, which manifests as palpitations, fatigue, sweating, hunger, pale complexion, tremor, nausea and vomiting. More serious hypoglycemia often has manifestations of central nervous system sugar deficiency, such as confusion, mental disorder, limb paralysis, incontinence, drowsiness, coma, etc.

Hysteria

Hysteria (dissociative conversion disorder) is a mental disorder caused by psychiatric factors, such as life events, inner conflicts, suggestion or self-suggestion, acting on susceptible individuals. The main manifestations of hysteria are dissociative symptoms and conversion symptoms. The symptoms of hysteria are functional, so psychotherapy plays an important role. The prognosis of this disease is generally good, and 60%-80% of patients can recover on their own within one year.
