Patient's question:
Doctor, my mother-in-law is quite old now. She has always had high blood pressure and has been relying on medication for the past two years. The treatment has been going well, but she had a stroke last year. Now, our family wants to help her achieve complete self-healing—is it possible?Doctor's answer:
High blood pressure usually cannot heal on its own after a stroke. Long-term medication is generally required to lower blood pressure and to take anticoagulants and blood vessel softening drugs for treatment. Additionally, regular follow-up visits to the hospital are necessary to monitor blood pressure and improve relevant tests, such as blood tests, coagulation function tests, liver and kidney function tests, and brain MRI scans, to adjust medication accordingly. In daily life, maintain a light diet, avoid spicy and greasy foods, and consume more vegetables, fruits, and vitamin-rich foods.
