Disease description:

A few years ago, I constantly had one-sided headaches, but I never paid much attention to it. In recent years, my blood pressure has been slightly high. Yesterday, the headache became particularly severe, so I went to the hospital for a checkup. The doctor diagnosed me with a mild stroke. What factors can cause a mild stroke?

Dr. Li Ping
Mild cerebral stroke is generally caused by factors such as hypertension, arterial hardening, and cerebral atherosclerosis. Currently, a mild stroke has occurred, accompanied by symptoms of cerebral infarction. It is recommended to take oral blood-activating and stasis-resolving medications and undergo acupuncture treatment. Once a stroke occurs, it can be quite dangerous if the affected area is large. Regular monitoring of blood pressure and blood glucose levels, as well as lipid levels, is important for preventing the occurrence of stroke.
