The main things that stroke patients should pay attention to in their daily lives are to avoid unhealthy habits, use medication reasonably, prevent the recurrence of stroke, and actively engage in functional rehabilitation training.
1、 Patients with cerebral infarction must pay attention to their diet in daily life, optimize their dietary structure, eat more vegetables and less meat and greasy foods, have a balanced diet of grains and cereals, eat as much low salt and low-fat food as possible, and be careful not to eat too salty. Generally speaking, the daily intake of salt is about 3 grams. Do not eat high-fat foods such as animal liver to avoid disease recurrence or aggravation.
2、 Strictly control blood pressure, blood sugar, and blood lipids. Generally speaking, patients with hypertension are more likely to suffer from cerebral infarction. It is necessary to regularly measure blood pressure, take medication, and control blood pressure, and adhere to the habit of not staying up late, going to bed early, and getting up early. Effective control of blood sugar and blood lipids can lead to a decrease in blood viscosity, which is also the basis for preventing cerebral infarction. If the patient's limb movements are not sensitive, they must strengthen their training regularly, take medication for a long time, and return to the hospital for regular check ups.
3、 Smoking and alcohol restrictions. Smoking is a risk factor for cerebral infarction, with various hazards. Quitting smoking can eliminate these risk factors.
4、 Moderate physical exercise enhances physical fitness. Moderate physical exercise to enhance physical fitness is one of the effective ways to reduce the recurrence of cerebral infarction.
5、 Take anticoagulant drugs. Long term adherence to anticoagulant drugs can effectively reduce the recurrence and recurrence rates of cerebral infarction.
6、 Actively treat underlying diseases. If cerebral infarction is caused by a definite underlying disease, such as embolus shedding caused by atrial fibrillation, hypercoagulable state due to abnormal coagulation function, blood thickening caused by polycythemia, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, etc.
7、 Patients with cerebral infarction have many sequelae, one of which is hemiplegia. If hemiplegia occurs, it is necessary to frequently change positions in daily life. Family members should regularly help patients turn over and avoid the occurrence of pressure ulcers. Patients should be given new bedding in a timely manner to allow them to recover and exercise as much as possible, only in this way can they recover some functions more quickly. Finally, patients should also pay attention to their own blood pressure.
We need to actively treat underlying diseases in a targeted manner, and only by eliminating the risks brought by underlying diseases can we effectively prevent cerebral infarction.
