Patient's question:
Because recently the elderly in my family have experienced another episode of cerebral infarction, I have been very upset and worried about the possibility of developing post-stroke symptoms again. So, I would like to ask the doctor to confirm whether a cerebral infarction can cause post-stroke symptoms?Doctor's answer:
First, regarding the issue of post-effects, it involves the area of cerebral infarction, the damaged nerves due to ischemia and hypoxia, as well as the corresponding brain functional areas. In most cases, once the damage has occurred, it is very difficult to fully recover. Through exercise and rehabilitation training, it can achieve relief. However, it is more important to pay attention to avoiding intense activities, controlling blood pressure, controlling blood lipids, and controlling salt and fat intake in diet.
