Once underlying diseases such as hypertension, diabetes and hyperlipidemia are detected, timely intervention is needed to effectively control blood pressure and blood glucose, and to adjust blood lipids.

If you have a family history of cerebral infarction and other high risk factors for cerebral infarction, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible, and develop a reasonable prevention plan under the guidance of a professional physician.
