Stroke, also known as stroke, is a common and dangerous disease that seriously threatens people's lives and health. However, many people still do not have a deep understanding of stroke and often confuse the symptoms of stroke with daily numbness in the hands and feet.
First, we need to understand the difference between numbness in the hands and feet and stroke
Hand numbness refers to the symptoms of abnormal sensations such as tingling, numbness, and itching in the hands or feet, usually caused by holding the same position for a long time or pressing the nerves.
Stroke, on the other hand, refers to a disease in which blood in the brain is interrupted, resulting in hypoxia and necrosis of brain cells. Symptoms of stroke include sudden onset of headache, dizziness, slurred speech, weakness of facial muscles, numbness of limbs, etc.
It can be seen that numbness in the hands and feet is a temporary, localized paresthesia, while stroke is a severe, systemic disease.
2. numbness in the hands and feet can sometimes be a strokePrecursors
Precursors of stroke are symptoms that appear before the onset of a stroke, which may be short-lived or may last for minutes or hours.
Numbness in the hands and feet is a common manifestation of stroke precursors, especially when it is accompanied by other symptoms, such as headache, dizziness, slurred speech, etc., which needs to be vigilant.
Therefore, when we have numbness in our hands and feet, we should observe whether it is accompanied by other symptoms in time, so that we can seek medical attention in time.
