How to prevent cerebrovascular disease

Know your blood pressure First of all, people with a history of hypertension should have their blood pressure measured frequently in order to understand the changes in their blood pressure, the effect of taking or changing medication, and whether the dose of medication needs to be adjusted. Middle-aged people without a history of hypertension and people younger than 35 years old with a family history of hypertension should also have their blood pressure measured once every six months to once a year. Once the diagnosis of hypertension is confirmed, non-pharmacological treatment or drug treatment should be started and should be consistent.  2, regular medical checkups For people over 40 years old, regular medical checkups are a very necessary health care measure, generally once a year is appropriate. You can find out if there are any abnormalities in your heart function, especially if there is atrial fibrillation or ischemic changes.
