Last medically reviewed: 9 September 2026 · Reviewed by Dr. Nishant Yadav, MBBS, MD, DM (Neurology), FEBN
Fits, or mirgi, are one of the most common reasons families from Sant Kabir Nagar travel to Gorakhpur and Lucknow. At J.K. Hospital, Khalilabad, epilepsy is now treated locally by Dr. Nishant Yadav, DM (Neurology), who ran neurology clinics at Medanta Hospital, Gurugram before joining us. Most patients need nothing more than the right medicine at the right dose, reviewed regularly.
Symptoms to watch for
- Sudden jerking of arms or legs with loss of awareness
- Falling unconscious, tongue bite or frothing at the mouth
- Brief blank staring spells in children, often mistaken for inattention
- Repeated early-morning jerks or twitching of one side of the body
- Passing urine or biting the tongue during an episode
When you should come in
- The first-ever seizure at any age — it always needs to be evaluated
- Fits that continue in spite of medicines already being taken
- Fits during pregnancy, or side effects from current epilepsy medicine
- A fit lasting more than five minutes — this is an emergency, come to casualty at once
How we treat it at J.K. Hospital
- Detailed history with the family and a full neurological examination
- Guidance on the EEG, MRI or blood tests actually required — nothing extra
- Correct anti-epileptic medicine selected for the seizure type, age and pregnancy plans
- Written dose plan, plus what to do at home during a fit
- Follow-up review so medicine can be reduced safely once seizures stop
Frequently asked questions
Is epilepsy treatment available in Khalilabad itself?
Yes. Dr. Nishant Yadav, DM (Neurology), holds the neurology OPD at J.K. Hospital, Banjaria Road, Khalilabad on Saturday and Sunday. Call +91 70682 02200 to confirm the visiting date before travelling.
Can epilepsy be cured completely?
Many patients become completely seizure-free on medicine, and after a long seizure-free period the medicine can often be tapered under a neurologist's supervision. This decision must never be taken at home — stopping medicine suddenly is the commonest cause of a relapse.
What is the consultation fee for the neurology OPD?
The neurology consultation fee is Rs. 800 for a new patient and Rs. 600 for a follow-up patient. You can pay by UPI while booking through the appointment form.
