Introduction
Common management approaches for cerebral hypoperfusion caused by low blood pressure include taking medications as prescribed, improving dietary habits, and maintaining regular physical exercise. Under a doctor's guidance, intravenous infusion of dobutamine hydrochloride injection or oral administration of vasoactive drugs may be used. Moderately increasing salt intake and consuming more foods that replenish qi and strengthen the spleen are also recommended. Additionally, appropriate physical activity can enhance the body's ability to regulate blood pressure.
Common approaches to managing cerebral hypoperfusion caused by low blood pressure include medication, improving dietary habits, and maintaining regular exercise.
1. Medication: Under a doctor's guidance, medications such as enteric-coated aspirin tablets and clopidogrel hydrogen sulfate tablets may be used to help maintain blood pressure within the normal range, thereby improving blood supply to brain tissue.
2. Improving dietary habits: Developing healthy eating patterns, balancing meals, moderately increasing salt intake, and consuming foods rich in high-quality protein, vitamin C, iron, folic acid, and other nutrients that support blood production and circulation—such as dairy products, fresh pork, animal liver, and soybeans—can help alleviate symptoms of cerebral hypoperfusion.
3. Regular exercise: Engaging in appropriate physical activity is beneficial, but attention should be paid to exercise intensity, progressing gradually from easy to more challenging activities. Vigorous exercises should be avoided; instead, gentle activities such as jogging or yoga are recommended. Exercise duration can be gradually increased over time to enhance the body's ability to regulate blood pressure.
