What Is Wallenberg Syndrome?
4. Wallenberg Syndrome and Chronic Diseases
While an otherwise healthy person can get Wallenberg syndrome, some medical conditions increase the risk of the disease.
For this reason, people who have these conditions are more likely to get Wallenberg syndrome: high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, arterial fibrillation, and obesity.
For this reason, you should undergo regular medical checks to find out if you have any of these conditions. People with any of these or other chronic conditions should ensure that they get proper treatment. And if you smoke cigarettes or take too much alcohol, you should review these lifestyles and consider quitting in order to reduce your risk of getting the disease.
