The brain is a very important organ in the human body, and once the brain is abnormal, there will be problems with various physical skills. The normal functioning of the brain mainly depends on blood**, once the blood ** is insufficient, then the brain function will be paralyzed, and in severe cases, it will even induce fatal dangers such as cerebral infarction and myocardial infarction.
What are the usual signs when the blood supply to the brain is insufficient?Here are a few points to list with you, I hope it can help you.
When the cerebral blood supply and oxygen supply are insufficient, the body often has 7 major manifestations, and it is recommended to be vigilant at all times!
When the blood supply to the brain is insufficient, the body will have some obvious manifestations, and here are some of the possible manifestations:
1.Dizziness:When the blood supply to the brain is insufficient, the most obvious manifestation is dizziness. This dizziness may last for a longer period of time and may be accompanied by symptoms such as headache, nausea, vomiting, etc.
2.Blurred vision:When the blood supply to the brain is insufficient, it affects the visual center and causes blurred vision. This blurring may last for a long time and may be accompanied by symptoms such as visual field defects and darkening of the eyes.
3.Limb numbness:When the blood supply to the brain is insufficient, it affects the normal function of the nervous system, resulting in numbness of the limbs. This numbness may last for a longer period of time and may be accompanied by symptoms such as muscle weakness, muscle wasting, etc.
4.Insomnia and dreams:When the blood supply to the brain is insufficient, it will affect the quality of sleep, leading to insomnia and dreams. This insomnia may last for a longer period of time and may be accompanied by symptoms such as listlessness, difficulty concentrating, etc.
5.Memory loss:When the blood supply and oxygen supply to the brain are insufficient, it will affect the normal function of memory, resulting in memory decline. This decline may last longer and may be accompanied by symptoms such as cognitive impairment, slow thinking, etc.
6.Emotional instability:When the blood supply to the brain is insufficient, it will affect the normal function of neuroendocrine and lead to emotional instability. This instability may last for a long time and may be accompanied by symptoms such as anxiety, depression, etc.
7.Movement disorders:When the blood supply to the brain is insufficient, it will affect the normal function of the motor center and lead to movement disorders. This disorder may last for a long time and may be accompanied by symptoms such as muscle atrophy, paralysis, etc.
What diseases do cerebral insufficiencies need to be different?
Cerebral insufficiency needs to be distinguished from a variety of other diseases, and here are some of the conditions that need to be distinguished:
Cerebral vasospasm:Cerebrovascular spasm refers to the abnormal contraction or dilation of cerebral blood vessels over a period of time, resulting in a decrease in blood flow to the brain, causing symptoms such as headache, dizziness, nausea, and vomiting. Unlike cerebral insufficiency, cerebral vasospasm is usually caused by triggers such as emotional agitation, strenuous exercise, smoking, and alcohol consumption, and lasts for a short period of time, usually resolves spontaneously within a few minutes to a few hours.
Cervical spondylosis:Cervical spondylosis is a common disease, mainly due to cervical hyperostosis, intervertebral disc herniation and other reasons, compressing the blood vessels and nerves in the neck, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the brain. Symptoms of cervical spondylosis include headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, shoulder and neck pain, etc., but symptoms such as impaired consciousness or neurological deficits usually do not occur.
Intracranial tumors:Intracranial tumors are serious conditions that can cause blockage of blood flow to the brain or compression of brain tissue, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the brain. Symptoms of intracranial tumors include headache, vomiting, visual disturbances, convulsions, and impaired consciousness, but neurological deficits such as limb weakness and paresthesias usually do not occur.
Cerebral infarction:Cerebral infarction is a disease in which blood flow to the brain is interrupted due to narrowing or occlusion of cerebral blood vessels, which can cause ischemia, hypoxia and even necrosis of brain tissue. Symptoms of cerebral infarction include sudden facial paralysis, numbness of hands and feet, aphasia, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, etc., and in severe cases, symptoms such as impaired consciousness and paralysis may occur.
What should be paid attention to in the daily life management of patients with cerebral insufficiency
Healthy Eating:Maintain a balanced diet rich in protein, fibre and vitamins, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains and fish. Avoid excessive intake of foods high in fat, sugar and salt to lower blood lipids and blood pressure and reduce the risk of blood clots.
Weight control:Maintain an appropriate weight and avoid obesity. Obesity increases the burden on the heart, affects blood circulation, and thus affects the blood supply to the brain.
Regular exercise:Perform moderate aerobic exercise, such as walking, jogging, swimming, etc., to enhance cardiopulmonary function and improve blood circulation. However, it is necessary to avoid strenuous exercise so as not to increase the burden on the body.
Quit smoking and limit alcohol:Quitting smoking can reduce endothelial damage, lower blood lipids and blood pressure, and reduce the risk of thrombosis. Limiting alcohol intake protects the liver from damage to blood vessels.
Control your emotions:Maintain a good mood and avoid excessive tension and anxiety. Mood swings can affect blood pressure and heart rate, which in turn can affect the blood supply to the brain.
Regular check-ups:Regular physical examinations, especially for the cardiovascular system, such as electrocardiograms, echocardiograms, etc., can be carried out in order to detect potential health problems in a timely manner.
Take your medication as prescribedIf the doctor prescribes the medication**, take it exactly as the doctor prescribes, and do not change the dose or stop the medication at will.
Maintain adequate hydration:Adequate water intake helps maintain normal blood circulation and provides adequate oxygen and nutrients to the brain.
By paying attention to the above points, patients with cerebral insufficiency can better manage their daily life, reduce the risk of disease development, and improve their quality of life.
