1. Control your blood pressure:Know your blood pressure, and if you have high blood pressure, be sure to talk to your doctor to get it under control. High blood pressure is the number one cause of stroke. Have your blood pressure measured at least once every six months or once a year, or more often if you have high blood pressure. If the upper value of your blood pressure (systolic) is often higher than 140 mm Hg or the lower value (diastolic) is often higher than 90 mm Hg, consult your doctor. If your doctor confirms that you have high blood pressure, he or she will recommend regular exercise and exercise, control it with medication, and suggest dietary precautions. 2. Treatment of atrial fibrillation: Check whether you have atrial fibrillation (AF), and if so, treat it early. Atrial fibrillation can cause blood to collect in the chambers of the heart, thus making it easy to form blood clots and trigger cardiogenic cerebral embolism. Your doctor can determine this by taking your pulse, listening to your heart, and performing an electrocardiogram. If you have atrial fibrillation, your doctor will prescribe you some medicine to reduce the risk of stroke, and you should keep taking it. Many people have had strokes because they stopped taking their medication, and they hated it for the rest of their lives. 3. Quit smoking: Smoking doubles the risk of stroke. If you quit smoking right away, the risk of stroke will start to decrease. After five years, your risk of stroke will be the same as that of non-smokers. 4. Limit alcohol: If you drink, do so in moderation. Drinking large amounts of alcohol can be harmful. Alcohol is also a medicine, it can interact with other drugs taken. 5, cholesterol control: blood test to know your cholesterol levels. High cholesterol can indirectly increase the risk of stroke by increasing the risk of heart disease. Lowering high cholesterol can reduce the risk of ischemic stroke. Mildly elevated cholesterol can be controlled by reducing dietary fat and exercise, while moderate to high elevations require additional medication. People with normal or low cholesterol levels should not be on a low-fat diet and lipid-lowering medications. Low-fat and malnourished people, to increase the protein, fat and vitamins in the diet, can reduce the risk of cerebral hemorrhage. 6. Control blood sugar:Get a blood test to find out your blood sugar level. Diabetes can put you at higher risk of stroke. Most diabetes can be controlled by careful attention to diet. 7. Exercise: Make it a habit to exercise daily. A brisk walk, jog, bike ride, swim, or other activity for at least 30 minutes a day can improve your health in many ways while reducing your risk of stroke. 8. Limit salt: People with high blood pressure should eat a low-salt (sodium) diet and less fatty foods. Reducing sodium in your diet can lower your blood pressure and, more importantly, reduce your risk of stroke. 9. Other:Are there any other cardiovascular problems that predispose you to stroke, and if so, ask your doctor to deal with it together. Atherosclerotic deposits can block arteries that supply blood to the heart and brain, and this blockage can lead to stroke if left untreated. Carotid atherosclerosis can usually be controlled with medication, but in severe cases surgery is required to remove the stenosis and prevent thrombosis. Blood disorders such as sickle cell anemia, erythrocytosis, and severe anemia should be treated aggressively, as they can also lead to stroke. 10. Recognize the symptoms of stroke: Few people know the symptoms of stroke. Recognizing them, and knowing what to do if they do occur, may save lives. The most common stroke symptoms are: sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arms and legs, especially if it occurs on only half of the body; sudden confusion, impaired speech or comprehension; sudden visual impairment in one or both eyes; sudden dizziness, unsteady walking, loss of balance or incoordination; and sudden, severe, persistent headache of unknown origin. Other relatively rare but important symptoms include: sudden nausea, vomiting, brief loss of consciousness or decreased consciousness (e.g., dizziness, confusion, or even coma). In case of any of these symptoms, medical attention should be sought at the first opportunity.
