What should I do if I have a stroke? Stroke is also known as “cerebral thrombosis”, “cerebral infarction”, “cerebral hemorrhage” and other acute cerebrovascular diseases. Many patients often ask their doctors what to do after being discharged from the hospital after the acute treatment. This question should be answered from several aspects. First, for the various symptoms that appear after the stroke, continue treatment. First, for patients who develop hemiplegia and motor inflexibility, they need to continue rehabilitation training. Within a year after suffering from acute cerebrovascular disease, patients will continue to progress, and the golden treatment period is the first 3 months. Rehabilitation training includes functional limb training under the guidance of a professional rehabilitation trainer, either one-on-one unassisted rehabilitation training or apparatus training, depending on the specific situation of each patient. For patients with hemiplegia, this treatment is essential and even more effective than acupuncture. Acupuncture is a special feature of Chinese medicine for the treatment of stroke. It can promote the recovery of limb function and is also effective for sensory disorders, numbness, and bowel control disorders. However, it is worth noting that many patients with hemiplegia do not undergo formal rehabilitation, but simply rely on acupuncture for rehabilitation, which is a big mistake. Second, for the treatment of post-stroke mood disorders. Stroke patients from a self-care, all aspects of normal state suddenly trapped in paralysis, bedridden, life can not take care of themselves and other difficulties, their psychological aspects are difficult to accept this reality, depression and anxiety, some patients even lose the confidence to live on. The incidence of post-stroke depression can be more than 50%, so it is important for family members and doctors to provide adequate care and attention to help patients accept the reality and encourage them to continue to live bravely. Persistent depression requires medication, such as Prozac or citalopram, and treatment should be directed by a neurologist after evaluation. Third, prevent the next stroke. Although strokes are fierce and sometimes unpreventable, they can be controlled clinically. Once a cerebral infarction has occurred, secondary prevention should begin. Prevention of cerebral infarction includes both primary prevention (for people at risk of not developing cerebral infarction disease) and secondary prevention (for people with cerebral infarction), and preventive measures are necessary for both people with cerebral infarction and people at high risk of cerebral infarction. Secondary prevention of cerebral infarction means taking preventive and curative measures for patients who have already suffered from cerebral infarction, with the aim of improving symptoms, reducing the rate of death and disability, and preventing recurrence of cerebral infarction. There are two main measures for secondary prevention of cerebral infarction, one is to find and control risk factors; the other is reliable and continuous drug treatment. Briefly, it includes the application of anti-platelet aggregation drugs, mainly aspirin enteric tablets and clopidogrel, for the control of blood pressure, blood lipids and blood sugar, and the prevention and treatment of Chinese herbal medicine. Secondary prevention is a long-term process, and is a treatment that the majority of doctors and patients must pay attention to. Cerebral atherosclerotic plaque is the pathological basis of cerebral infarction, and this pathological phenomenon cannot be reversed except for non-surgical treatment. Therefore, patients with non-surgical indications must be controlled with long-term medication. Primary care physicians should follow up the cutting-edge treatment routines, pay high attention to them, and guide patients. Chinese herbal medicine has a very positive meaning in the rehabilitation treatment and prevention of stroke patients. In our clinical work, we have found that many patients who underwent TCM evidence-based treatment on top of the basic treatment with Western medicine had a significant improvement in the speed and degree of recovery of limb function, as well as the occurrence of post-stroke depression and overall mental outlook. Fourth, the self-adjustment of life and living. 1, reasonable and active exercise: to do not feel fatigue, should not do strenuous exercise, such as fast running, mountain climbing, etc., can be jogging, walking, gymnastics, taijiquan and other aerobic exercise; 2, adhere to the diet regimen: food variety, cereal-based; eat light less salt, less sugar diet, salt to about 6 grams per day, for the control of blood pressure, blood sugar, blood lipids, etc. greatly beneficial, with special attention to the hyperuricemia Patients with hyperuricemia should also control their diet and avoid eating a high purine diet such as animal offal, bone marrow, seafood, fish and shrimp, meat, peas, spinach, etc. Hyperuricemia is also an independent pathogenic factor of atherosclerosis, which needs the attention of patients and doctors. 3, maintain a positive and optimistic mood and relaxed mood can improve people’s quality of life. 4.Tobacco and alcohol have the effect of promoting atherosclerosis, so it is strongly advocated to quit smoking and alcohol.
