Patient's question:
Doctor, recently my father has been experiencing severe dizziness and headaches. When he went to the hospital for a blood test, his total bilirubin level was slightly elevated, and his blood pressure was around 160. The brain CT scan showed cerebral arteriosclerotic encephalopathy. Hello, how is cerebral arteriosclerotic encephalopathy caused?Doctor's answer:
Your father has recently experienced symptoms of dizziness and headness. Hospital examinations indicated high blood pressure, with the systolic pressure at 160 mmHg. Brain CT scans revealed arteriosclerosis. Long-term high blood pressure can lead to arteriosclerosis and stenosis, as well as repeated episodes of insufficient brain blood supply. It is recommended to revisit the hospital's neurology department for further evaluation. Under the guidance of a physician, use medications to control blood pressure and stabilize brain circulation. Pay attention to a light diet in daily life.
