What should I be aware of after a stroke?

  After a stroke, patients and their families usually mention: what aspects should be noted after a stroke? I briefly summarize: 1, change bad habits: quit smoking and alcohol is very important; appropriate exercise; light diet (I do not advocate deliberate taboos, quality of life should still be guaranteed. Light diet is not not to eat non-vegetarian dishes. Even for diabetics, sugar and fruit can be eaten, but there is an important principle: the total daily calories must be controlled) 2, control the risk factors for stroke: blood pressure should be controlled within the normal range, to avoid large fluctuations in blood pressure, antihypertensive drugs, in principle, long-term use, preferably with long-acting antihypertensive drugs. Actively control hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia, etc.  3, patients with cerebral infarction, if there is no contraindication, should take aspirin enteric tablets for long-term secondary prevention. The dosage is 75mg-150mg per day, taken once on an empty stomach, either during the day or at night. Statin lipid-lowering drugs are also advocated to lower blood lipids and prevent atherosclerosis and ischemic cardiovascular disease.  4, regular review of blood lipids, blood sugar and liver and kidney function. It is better to review carotid ultrasound at least once a year to know whether there is unstable plaque or stenosis in the arteries, etc.  5.Emotional stability, give care and avoid depression or anxiety.
