Patient's question:
A month ago, my grandmother got sick and was hospitalized. She had a cerebral hemorrhage and high blood pressure, but she has been discharged now. We all take turns taking care of her. Now she has post-stroke symptoms and is a bit unclear in her mind. What medications are available for post-stroke symptoms and high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
The patients who experience recurrent sequelae are mainly prescribed a combination of many blood-activating drugs to prevent thrombus formation, along with acupuncture, physical therapy, and rehabilitation exercises for holistic treatment. For patients with hypertension, the primary approach is to use long-acting antihypertensive drugs for symptomatic treatment. Many angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) can be used, such as valsartan or irbesartan, for managing the condition.
