How is hypertension combined with stroke treated?

Patient's question:

My father has a history of high blood pressure, and he had a stroke two days ago. I want to know how to treat a stroke caused by high blood pressure.

Doctor's answer:

Currently, this situation is mainly caused by stroke, and blood pressure is also high on a regular basis. In this case, active blood pressure control should be implemented. It is recommended to appropriately adjust medications and control factors such as hypertension, diabetes, high blood lipids, smoking, and drinking. This should help slow down the progression of atherosclerosis. On a daily basis, active rehabilitation exercises should be carried out targeting stroke symptoms. Routine oral antithrombotic drugs and lipid-lowering drugs can also be taken.
