How long you can live after a cerebral infarction cannot be generalized, it is related to the location of the infarction, the size of the infarction, the presence or absence of complications, and whether or not effective treatment has been carried out, etc. Generally speaking, relatively mild cerebral infarctions can be survived for a long period of time. Cerebral infarction is also known as ischemic stroke, and the disease is most common in middle-aged and elderly people over 50-60 years old. The disease usually starts rapidly and the patient’s discomfort peaks within minutes or even seconds. Under normal circumstances, if the patient is treated promptly and appropriately, many patients with relatively mild disease will not have a normal life expectancy. However, if the patient is not treated in time or the infarction area is large and the site of infarction is important, the patient will often be left with hemiparesis, numbness of limbs, hemianopsia, aphasia, sensory disorders, dysarthria, dysphasia, dysphagia, choking and choking, dizziness and headache, etc. The large infarcts and severe infarcts can be treated in time. Large infarction and severe brainstem infarction can also lead to brain hernia and even death. In short, how long can live after cerebral infarction varies from person to person, and it is suggested that after the onset of the disease, we must actively cooperate with the treatment and strictly follow the doctor’s prescription of medication. If there are sequelae, you should also adjust your mind and do a good job of daily care to avoid complications.
