According to the latest statistics, there are about 300 million people with hypertension in our country, and this number is growing, which is a staggering number. What is even more alarming, however, is that most patients already have serious complications by the time they are diagnosed with hypertension. This shows that the prevention and treatment of hypertension has reached the point where there is no delay.
1.Elevated blood pressure: Long-term high blood pressure in hypertensive patients can lead to increased fragility of cerebral blood vessels, making them easy to rupture, which can lead to intracerebral hemorrhage.
2.Arteriosclerosis: Blood vessels in patients with high blood pressure are prone to arteriosclerosis, which makes the walls of blood vessels thicken, stiffen, lose their elasticity, and are prone to rupture or blockage, resulting in cerebral hemorrhage.
3.Emotional agitation: When patients with high blood pressure have great mood swings, such as excessive excitement, anger, nervousness, etc., blood pressure will suddenly rise, which may lead to the rupture of cerebral blood vessels and cause cerebral hemorrhage.
4.Overwork: Overwork can increase the burden on the body and increase blood pressure, which can be one of the triggers of cerebral hemorrhage in patients with high blood pressure.
5.Bad lifestyle habits: Bad lifestyle habits such as excessive alcohol consumption, salty diet, and lack of exercise may aggravate the condition of patients with high blood pressure and increase the risk of cerebral hemorrhage.
Generally speaking, doctors will draw 3 "warning lines" according to the specific situation of the patient to help the patient understand his or her risk of cerebral hemorrhage. The 3 "cordons" are:
The first "warning line": systolic blood pressure (SBP) 140mmHg, diastolic blood pressure (DBP) 90mmHg. When the blood pressure exceeds this level, the pressure on the arteries increases, which can easily cause endothelial damage to the blood vessels, and then form arteriosclerosis, making the blood vessels hard and brittle, and prone to cerebral hemorrhage.
The second "warning line": systolic blood pressure (SBP) 160mmHg, diastolic blood pressure (DBP) 100mmHg. At this blood pressure level, the risk of intracerebral hemorrhage is further increased. At this time, patients need to take active measures, such as lifestyle changes, medications**, etc., to control blood pressure and reduce the risk of intracerebral hemorrhage.
The third "warning line": systolic blood pressure (SBP) 180mmHg, diastolic blood pressure (DBP) 110mmHg. At this blood pressure level, patients are at very high risk of developing intracerebral hemorrhage and need to seek medical attention promptly and take urgent measures to avoid irreversible brain damage or death.
1.Headache.
Headache is one of the most common symptoms of intracerebral hemorrhage. This type of headache usually occurs suddenly and is very intense and unbearable. Headaches may be accompanied by symptoms such as nausea and vomiting. The cause of headaches is the rupture of blood vessels in the brain, which causes increased intracranial pressure and compression of brain tissue. If the headache suddenly worsens, or if it is accompanied by other symptoms, you should see a doctor for a check-up.
2.Vertigo.
Symptoms of vertigo may occur before a brain hemorrhage because a blood vessel in the brain is ruptured, causing a lack of blood supply to the brain. This vertigo may be accompanied by symptoms such as nausea and vomiting, which needs to be taken seriously.
3.Weakness or numbness in the limbs.
Intracerebral hemorrhage may be preceded by limb weakness or numbness because the nerves in the brain are damaged due to the rupture of blood vessels in the brain, causing limb movement disorders. This symptom may be accompanied by symptoms such as slurred speech, crooked corners of the mouth, etc., and requires immediate medical examination.
The above are the 3 signals before the appearance of cerebral hemorrhage, if any of these symptoms appear, you should seek medical attention in time to avoid missing the best time. At the same time, we should also pay attention to preventing the occurrence of cerebral hemorrhage, maintain a healthy lifestyle, control blood pressure, blood sugar and other risk factors, and reduce the risk of cerebral hemorrhage.
