Patient's question:
Doctor, my mother-in-law is quite old now. She has had high blood pressure for a long time and has been relying on medication for treatment these 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:
Hypertension-induced cerebral infarction is generally not self-healing. Long-term medication is usually required, including antihypertensive drugs, anticoagulants, and vasodilators. Additionally, regular hospital check-ups are necessary to monitor blood pressure and improve relevant tests, such as blood routine, coagulation function, liver and kidney function, and brain MRI, 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.
