Men adjust blood pressure medication without authorization to induce cerebral infarction With the acceleration of the pace of life and the increase of work pressure, the "silent killer" of hypertension is becoming more and more common in our lives. After a period of time, many patients may have the illusion that "a long-term illness becomes a good doctor", feeling that they have completely mastered the best methods for high blood pressure, so they ignore the doctor's instructions and adjust the medication on their own. However, as Mr. Lee has experienced, this practice can have serious consequences. 
Mr. Li is a 56-year-old taxi driver who has suffered from high blood pressure for many years. He often visits the hospital for follow-up visits and has been on medication to control his blood pressure for a long time. However, as time went on, he began to think he knew enough about high blood pressure and decided to adjust his blood pressure medication on his own. He increased or decreased his medication based on his blood pressure values, not as prescribed by his doctor. He even proudly declared to the people around him that he had "become a good doctor after a long illness".
However, in recent times, Mr. Li has often felt dizzy. At noon on January 27, after a morning taxi drive, he felt very tired and went home to rest. Shortly after he sat down, he suddenly found that he could not move the left half of his body at all. His wife immediately rushed him to the hospital. After a CT examination of the head, the doctor diagnosed acute cerebral infarction. The root cause of all this is that Mr. Li's blood pressure has been unstable, coupled with the recent sudden drop in temperature and a combination of various factors such as work fatigue.
Cerebral infarction is a condition caused by a disorder of blood circulation in the brain that can lead to permanent neurological impairment and even death. Hypertension is one of the main risk factors for cerebral infarction. When blood pressure is too high or too low, blood flow is affected, and blood clots are easily formed, which can lead to cerebral infarction.
This case is a wake-up call for us: patients with high blood pressure should never stop their medication on their own or adjust their medication at will. Hypertension requires long-term, stable and individualized management, which requires the guidance and monitoring of a doctor. Only the doctor can formulate the most appropriate ** plan according to the specific situation of the patient and the trend of blood pressure changes. Patients should go to the hospital for regular follow-up visits, and report their physical condition and medication to the doctor in detail, so that the doctor can make adjustments according to the situation.
In addition, in addition to taking medication on time, patients with high blood pressure also need to pay attention to lifestyle modifications, such as maintaining a healthy diet, exercising properly, controlling weight, reducing stress, etc. These measures can help lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of complications such as cerebral infarction.
In short, patients with high blood pressure should never stop taking the drug on their own or adjust the drug at will. Maintaining good communication with your doctor and following your doctor's instructions for ** and management are the keys to maintaining your own health. Let's work together to scientifically manage high blood pressure and stay away from the risk of cerebral infarction and other diseases.
