Microinsult - treatment at home

If you experience symptoms of a micro-stroke, you should not try to conduct treatment at home yourself and apply any folk remedies. Despite the prefix "micro", this acute condition is very dangerous and can be threatened with irreversible consequences for untimely or inadequate therapy. Therefore, the treatment of a micro stroke is mandatory in a hospital setting, and afterwards it can be continued in a home environment.

Treatment of a micro at home

After stabilization, the patient is discharged, but this does not mean that everything is already in order, even if there are no visible health problems. Treatment and rehabilitation should be continued at home in order to restore all the disturbed functions of the body and prevent a repeated micro-stroke (or already an extensive stroke). The main recommendations in this case in most cases include the following measures.

Medication administration

As a rule, after a micro stroke, a sufficiently long intake of medications (antihypertensive, antithrombotic, antisclerotic, nootropic , etc.) is required. In no case should medication be discontinued or interrupted.

Diet

An important component for recovery is the adherence to a healthy diet. Those who have suffered a microstroke should abandon fatty, smoked, fried, spicy and salty foods, preserve, restrict the consumption of flour and confectionery. Also alcohol should be excluded. Preferably the use of fruits, vegetables, seafood , fish, low-fat meat, sour-milk products.

Massage, therapeutic exercises, walks

Very often to restore normal motor activity requires the appointment of a massage course, which after receiving the recommendations of a specialist can be conducted at home. Also, you need to gradually increase the physical load for the body, perform prescribed by the doctor exercises. No less important are daily walks in the fresh air.
