I got moyamoya disease last year. How should I take care of it now?

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I see a neurology doctor. Could you please tell me how to take care of myself now that I was diagnosed with moyamoya disease last year?

Doctor's answer:

If diagnosed with moyamoya disease, it proves to be a vascular problem, where the blood vessels are relatively thin and prone to tearing. Currently, blood pressure must be well-controlled. It is recommended to eat more vegetables and fruits in daily life, avoid raw, cold, and spicy foods, consume low-fat and low-sodium foods, take naps regularly, try not to stay up late, and avoid excessive outdoor activities. Do not feel overly excited or relaxed. In case of any situation, seek medical treatment promptly at the hospital. Do not blindly use certain medications to avoid further adverse reactions.
