Menurut Dr. Mak Choon Soon, bagi ahli keluarga atau teman serumah yang berhadapan dengan pesakit diserang sawan, diingatkan supaya tidak panik kerana sawan itu biasanya akan berhenti selepas satu hingga dua minit. Beberapa langkah boleh diamalkan oleh orang sekeliling apabila seseorang diserang sawan supaya mereka tidak mencederakan diri sendiri dengan meletakkan pesakit dalam posisi mengiring dan tundukkan sedikit kepalanya untuk mengelak dari tersedak air liur yang boleh mengakibatkan lemas semasa tidak sedar sewaktu sawan.

According to the consultant neurologist of the Gleneagles Hospital in Kuala Lumpur, Dr Mak Choon Soon, the disease is slightly more prevalent among men than women. It is a disease affecting the elderly where around one per cent of the people over 60 years globally would likely be affected by this disease, Mak said in a health talk on Parkinson's and heart diseases yesterday. He said the disease occurs due to the depletion of nerve cells in the substantia nigra resulting in the reduction of the neurotransmitter dopamine, to disrupt normal basal ganglia activities.
