How long a person can live with secondary stroke depends on the severity of the disease and the patient’s own condition. When the disease is mild, it does not affect the survival time, but when it is serious, it can affect the life expectancy. Compared with the first stroke, the disability rate of second stroke is significantly higher. If the condition is serious, it may cause coma or even deep coma, which will affect the life expectancy. If the symptoms are mild, tracheotomy can be used for treatment if necessary, and usually does not affect life. Stroke patients can actively control their blood sugar, blood lipid and blood pressure, monitor their condition in time, strengthen their life management, give nutritional support, and also take neuroprotective drugs such as edaravone and cytarabine, which can help to alleviate their condition, and all of the above drugs need to be used under the guidance of a doctor, avoiding self-medication. In addition, patients need to actively cooperate with doctors to standardize the treatment, and develop good daily habits, which is also conducive to the recovery of the condition.
