How to prevent a stroke?

“Stroke is also known as cerebral vascular accident, including ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke. Stroke prevention is actually the prevention and treatment of various risk factors that can cause a stroke. Below are some important measures that can prevent the risk of stroke, through medication and good lifestyle habits to reduce the risk of stroke. Treatment of high blood pressure Among all the risk factors, the first is high blood pressure. The risk of stroke in hypertensive patients is 4~6 times higher than that of normal people. If hypertension is not well controlled, you may suffer from stroke at any time, especially cerebral hemorrhage. Therefore, it is very important to check your blood pressure regularly. Controlling your blood pressure through a low-salt diet, weight control, reducing stress and/or medication can reduce the risk of stroke. Remember, in most cases, blood pressure can only be effectively controlled with regular long-term medication. 2.Preventing “mini-strokes” About 1/3 of the “stroke” patients have had one or more “mini-strokes”, i.e., transient ischemic attacks, before the onset of the disease, and if there is a “mini-stroke”, the patient may have one or more “mini-strokes”. If you have a “small stroke”, you must go to the hospital and ask the doctor for systematic treatment to avoid the development of complete stroke. 3, treatment of diabetes Diabetic patients with high blood sugar, the chance of cerebrovascular disease is 5 to 7 times higher than the general population. Moreover, it is not easy to get well after having cerebrovascular disease. Therefore, diabetic patients must control their blood sugar well. 4, active treatment of various heart diseases such as wind heart disease, coronary heart disease, pulmonary heart disease and so on. These diseases can cause atrial fibrillation, atrial fibrillation is easy to form blood clots. Blood clots dislodge, flow downstream, flow into the brain, it will cause cerebral embolism. 5, quit smoking, quit drinking Smoking can make the risk of stroke increased by 50%, smokers plus hypertension, than simple hypertension and non-smokers, the chances of cerebrovascular disease is 3 to 7 times higher. Alcoholism is an important trigger for cerebrovascular disease. 6.Establish a healthy lifestyle, such as reasonable diet, participate in physical exercise, and avoid mental stress.
