The patient, Mr. Xu, 65 years old, usually does manual work, has no major problems, and has a slight high blood pressure. One night, suddenly physicalNumbness and loss of consciousness, urinary incontinence, dark eyes, dizziness and dizziness, Fortunately, he usually had a mobile phone at the head of the bed, and hurriedly ** his son. When his son came, he gradually regained consciousness, his hands and feet were not numb, he was not dizzy just now, and after measuring his blood pressure, he found that his blood pressure had risen to 180 110 mm Hg, and he took antihypertensive drugs orally, and his blood pressure dropped. The next morning, after going to the health center for a routine checkup, there was no abnormality, and I thought it was high blood pressure that caused discomfort and went home. But at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, there was numbness on one side of the body and loss of consciousness on one side of the body, and the family rushed to the hospital, but it was too late, and it was diagnosed with cerebral infarction, half of which was paralyzed, and he could only be hospitalized and conservative** and then go to the center for limb **.
Why did Mr. Xu have these symptoms before cerebral infarction?In fact, this is a precursor to cerebral infarction, which is medically called "".Minor strokes”。This symptom is due to a manifestation of recurrent ischemia before the onset of cerebral infarction, which is also called in medicineTransient ischemic attack
There will be a "mini-stroke" before the cerebral infarction
Cerebral infarction, also known as stroke, is often referred to as cerebral vascular blockage, medically known as stroke, due to the disorder of blood in the brain, which causes ischemic and hypoxic necrosis of local brain tissue, and in severe cases, it will lead to sudden death.
Cerebral infarction is more common in middle-aged and elderly people aged 45 to 70, and in recent years, it has also tended to be younger. According to statistics, the number of patients who die of cerebral infarction in China every year is highMore than 1.5 million, up to new patients with cerebral infarctionMore than 2 million, the prevalence of which has been high in recent years% or so, and toThe incidence of stroke in China is the highest in the world, so the situation of stroke in China is very serious. EspeciallyThe high incidence, disability, mortality and high incidence of stroke make people talk about it
According to relevant data, most cerebral infarctions are preceded by the body sending us some signals. A 66-year survey showed that about 33% of patients will have an acute cerebral infarction within one day after a transient ischemic attack, just like Mr. Xu, who had symptoms of transient cerebral ischemia about 20 hours before the acute cerebral infarction, such as numbness, dizziness, urinary incontinence and other symptoms. Some patients also develop acute cerebral infarction within 3 months of ischemic attack. Therefore, for most patients, transient cerebral ischemia is the typical signal of cerebral infarctionMinor strokes
What are the symptoms of transient cerebral ischemia?
Transient cerebral ischemia generally occurs abruptly, often occurs at night when sleeping, and the duration is short, most of them will not exceed 1 hour, and a few are also within 24 hours, and the symptoms are significantly relieved or completely disappeared, which is easily mistaken for fatigue, hypertension or neurasthenia, and is often ignored as a precursor to cerebral infarction. Therefore, when patients have symptoms of transient ischemic attack while sleeping, they must not be taken lightly, especially patients with high risk factors, such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia. Specifically, there are the following 5 symptoms
, severe headache, dizziness
If you have an unexplained headache while sleeping, such as irritating headache, feeling like the world is spinning, standing unsteadily, straining to lift your feet, or even urinary incontinence, beware of the precursor of cerebral infarction, which is due to cerebral ischemia, which leads to vasospasm, which causes headache and dizziness.
2. Numbness of one limb
Transient cerebral ischemia, which can easily lead to nerve damage. If you feel numbness in the left and right sides of your body, you should consider that there is a problem with the nerves on one side of the brain. If the numbness is accompanied by weakness in the upper or lower limbs, the situation is even more critical, and it is necessary to pay attention to it and seek medical attention in time
3. It is dark in front of your eyes
Sudden and transient blackening of the eyes, or blurred vision, blurred vision, or even double vision in one eye, is the most common precursor to cerebral infarction. This is because the vertebrobasilar artery is insufficient, which causes insufficient blood supply to the retina of the eye, resulting in blurred vision and darkening of the eye. If this symptom occurs, you must pay attention to this as an early warning sign of cerebral infarction, seek medical attention in time, and do not be careless.
4. The base of the tongue is hard and the speech is slurred
When the blood supply to the brain is insufficient, it can lead to impaired speech control, such as a sudden feeling of stiffness at the base of the tongue, a swollen tongue, inarticulate speech, and even tongue headaches, difficulty swallowing, or drooling at the corners of the mouth. These symptoms must be paid attention to and cannot be ignored, which is a precursor to cerebral infarction!
5. Yawn
When you have not experienced fatigue recently, but you often yawn, fatigue and lack of energy, etc., you must not ignore the precursors of severe hypoxia and cerebral infarction in the brain.
If you don't want to have a cerebral infarction, eat less of these 4 types of food for dinner and supper
As we all know, cardiovascular disease is closely related to diet, and cerebrovascular disease is no exception. Eating too much of some foods will increase the chance of cerebral infarction, cholesterol is a high-risk factor for cerebral infarction, it is synthesized most at night, especially dinner or supper diet, if you eat more of the following four types of food, the higher the chance of cerebral infarction. Keep away from cerebral infarction and stay away from these foods.
1. High-sugar, high-calorie foods
Patients at high risk of cerebral infarction must control the intake of high-sugar and high-calorie foods, such as sugar, cream cake, various sugary drinks, milk tea, etc. When the body consumes too much sugar, it may induce an increase in blood sugar and blood lipids. When these two components in the blood are too high, it is easy to cause damage to the vascular endothelium, which is easy to induce atherosclerosis over time, increase the risk of blood vessel blockage, and naturally increase the risk of cerebral infarction.
2. High-oil, high-cholesterol foods
Control the intake of high oil and high cholesterol, when the patient consumes too much of this food, the body fat will increase, and the blood will be viscous, resulting in an increase in blood cholesterol levels, an increase in paper substances in the blood vessels, an increase in the probability of thrombosis, and an acceleration of cerebral infarction.
3. High-salt foods
Excessive intake of high salt can easily lead to an increase in blood pressure. In particular, our country likes to eat pickled food, such as salted fish, smoked meat, bacon, etc., which has a high salt content, and eating too much high-salt food is easy to cause the shedding of arterial plaque, resulting in blockage of blood vessels, and the probability of causing cerebral infarction will be greatly increased. Therefore, avoid excessive intake, preferably more than 6 grams per day.
4. Tobacco and alcohol
Cigarettes contain more than 3,000 harmful substances, and the nicotine in cigarettes inhaled into the human body will stimulate autonomic nerves, which is easy to make blood vessels spasm, rapid heartbeat, increased blood pressure, etc., accelerate arteriosclerosis, accelerate cerebral infarction!Alcohol can also increase the heart rate, constrict blood vessels, increase blood pressure, and can also promote the deposition of calcium salts and cholesterol on the blood vessel wall, accelerating the progression of arteriosclerosis and accelerating the risk of cerebral infarction. If you smoke and drink alcohol for a long time, the distance from cerebral infarction will get closer and closer!
