Late manifestations of cerebral infarction patients

As long as the patient is rescued in time after a cerebral infarction, the patient will recover quickly. However, patients with cerebral infarction need to take preventive measures in the later stages of the disease, because these are the most important steps in rehabilitation training. In addition, recurrence should be prevented, the patient's mood should be kept stable, and the doctor's guidance and medication should be followed. The wrong medicine must not be used, and daily training should be added.

1. Use drugs scientifically to prevent recurrence

Cerebral infarction is a highly recurrent chronic cerebrovascular accident disease. After being discharged from the hospital, patients with cerebral infarction still need to take medication according to the doctor's instructions, control the underlying lesions of arteriosclerosis such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes, and go to the hospital for regular check-ups. Patients who are eligible can also take health care products to increase the body's resistance and assist in improvement, but health care products have no therapeutic effect, so they can never replace regular drug treatment. There are also patients who need regular infusion to prevent and treat cerebral infarction, especially those in the north. The disadvantages of infusion have been described in detail in other chapters. It is only suitable for acute treatment and will not be elaborated here. Some patients are superstitious about advertised drugs, but the efficacy of advertised drugs is often far from what is promised. It is not uncommon for them to be exposed due to false propaganda. Choosing the wrong drug will not only lose money, but also the best chance of recovery. Therefore, if you want to effectively treat the symptoms and reduce the recurrence of cerebral infarction, you should still compare multiple aspects, scientifically select drugs, and choose first-line drugs that are effective in clinical applications.

After the illness, many previous living habits are broken. In addition to early and regular training of the affected limb, attention should also be paid to developing the potential of the healthy limb. Patients with cerebral infarction who are right-sided hemiplegia and usually use their right hand should be trained to do things with their left hand. Clothes should be made loose and soft, and special styles can be sewn according to special needs, such as zippers on the sleeves of the affected limb to measure blood pressure. When dressing, put on the paralyzed side first, then the healthy side; when undressing, take off the healthy side first, then the affected side.

3. Start rehabilitation treatment early and actively

As mentioned above, cerebral infarction will leave many sequelae, such as hemiplegia, aphasia, dizziness and headache, etc. Most patients can take care of themselves through active and scientific comprehensive rehabilitation treatment, and some can even return to work. For rehabilitation treatment of cerebral infarction, you can buy or find some relevant books and videotapes on the Internet and do it yourself at home. Patients with conditions can also do rehabilitation exercises in local rehabilitation hospitals. Rehabilitation should be carried out early. The best time for rehabilitation is within six months after the illness. After half a year, due to muscle atrophy and joint contraction, rehabilitation is more difficult, but it will also be helpful to a certain extent.

As the saying goes, "When illness comes, it's like a mountain falling, and when illness goes, it's like pulling out a thread." This saying is more appropriate for patients with cerebrovascular disease. Facing the established facts, one should adjust his mood and actively carry out comprehensive rehabilitation to return to society as soon as possible. Patients with severe emotional disorders and cerebral infarction can ask doctors for help and use antidepressants, such as Prozac, which have a good effect on depression and anxiety after cerebrovascular disease. ?

In normal times, what should patients with cerebral infarction pay attention to during the recovery period? In addition to continuing to take medication to consolidate the previous treatment results, they should also pay attention to proper physical exercise to strengthen their physical fitness. The earlier the rehabilitation care of patients with cerebral infarction is carried out, the better. At the same time, patients and friends must have a correct attitude and understanding of the disease to go through the entire recovery period.
