Question
What are the best foods for patients with brain vascular obstruction, and what are the treatment methods? Patient symptoms include headache, lack of energy, decreased appetite, and poor sleep quality.
Answer
Brain vascular obstruction (cerebral thrombosis) can be treated effectively if managed properly. Common causes include arteriosclerosis, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and hypertension. Treatment options include the use of diuretics, low molecular weight dextran, thrombolytic agents (such as streptokinase, urokinase), anticoagulants (such as heparin, dicoumarin), and traditional Chinese medicine treatments like Tianxin Tai Xueshuang Xinming tablets. Recovery phase treatment may include antiplatelet aggregation agents and physical therapy. For diet, it is recommended to consume less salt and eat a light diet, with plenty of vegetables and fish, and to take medication to lower blood lipids. Traditional Chinese medicine treatments may include ingredients like Angelica sinensis, raw Rehmannia, and peach seeds. Comprehensive treatment can effectively improve symptoms and reduce the recurrence rate.
