Cerebral infarction and hemorrhage, and their early symptoms and treatments
When I talk to people, many people have metabolic disorders such as blood pressure and blood sugar. Among these people, there are a lot of people who take high blood pressure and diabetes drugs without any problem.
When I ask them whether they have any health concerns, most of them say they don’t and everything is well due to they are managed well with the medications they take. In a long term, it can lead to other complications. People with high blood pressure are 4–5 times more likely to have a stroke than people without high blood pressure.
Stroke is a disease that many people have heard of, but for many people, it is also a word that still raises questions. Let’s talk about statistics. Every year, about 800,000 people have a stroke just in the United States alone. About 87% are ischemic strokes. It is a condition where blood flow to the brain is blocked by blood clots. Stroke can occur if you do not manage your health well, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, underlying heart disease, stress, and diet, etc.
