Patient's question:
Nowadays, many people suffer from hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia. I was also carefully diagnosed with these conditions, and I also have symptoms of a stroke. So, I would like to ask, how are hypertension, diabetes, and stroke treated? If I consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner and take some herbal medicine, can these diseases be cured?Doctor's answer:
In the current medical environment, these three diseases are chronic and cannot be cured, only alleviated. It is recommended that you take medication long-term to control the condition. At the same time, pay attention to a light diet in daily meals. For diabetes, reduce the intake of many high-glycemic index foods, and consume more fresh fruits and vegetables regularly, which can help protect your body. Additionally, engaging in more outdoor activities can enhance your ability to combat diseases. It is advisable to visit the local hospital for follow-up care regularly and follow the doctor's instructions when taking medication.
