Cerebral infarction, also known as ischemic stroke, is a disease that damages brain tissue due to insufficient blood supply to the brain due to blockage of cerebral blood vessels. In recent years, the incidence of cerebral infarction has been increasing year by year, and it is getting younger and younger, which poses a serious threat to people's health. So, is the cerebral infarction dragged out?The answer is yes. In fact, there are 3 phenomena when sleeping that can remind us to pay attention to brain health and prevent the occurrence of cerebral infarction.
1. Causes of cerebral infarction
There are many causes of cerebral infarction, including chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia, as well as unhealthy lifestyle Xi such as smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. In addition, emotional stress, lack of exercise, and unhealthy diet are also risk factors for cerebral infarction. If these factors are not controlled for a long time, they will gradually damage the lining of blood vessels, leading to narrowing or even blockage of blood vessels, and eventually leading to cerebral infarction.
2. 3 phenomena when sleeping withCerebral infarction
Sleep apneaSleep apnea is the phenomenon of repeated pauses in breathing during sleep. This condition can lead to a lack of oxygen in the body, increase blood viscosity, and slow down blood flow, thereby increasing the risk of cerebral infarction. Sleep apnea may be associated with factors such as obesity, tonsil hypertrophy, jaw deformity, etc., or it may be caused by central nervous system lesions or muscle relaxation.
Numbness of the limbsLimbs are often present during sleep.
Numbness may be caused by blockage or narrowing of blood vessels in the brain. When blood vessels in the brain are blocked or narrowed, the blood supply to the limbs is insufficient, resulting in numbness. In addition, if the numbness continues to worsen or is accompanied by symptoms such as pain, it may be one of the precursor symptoms of cerebral infarction.
Dizziness and headacheDizziness and headache are one of the common symptoms of cerebral infarction. Symptoms of dizziness and headache while sleeping may be caused by blockage or narrowing of blood vessels in the brain. When blood vessels in the brain are blocked or narrowed, it can lead to insufficient blood supply to the brain, which can cause dizziness and headaches. If dizziness and headache continue to worsen or are accompanied by symptoms such as nausea and vomiting, you should seek medical attention in time for examination and **.
3. How to prevent cerebral infarction?Control of chronic diseases: Chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia are one of the main risk factors for cerebral infarction. Therefore, controlling the condition of these chronic diseases is the key to preventing cerebral infarction.
Changing unhealthy lifestyle Xi habits: quitting smoking and limiting alcohol, maintaining an appropriate amount of exercise, and eating a healthy diet are important measures to prevent cerebral infarction. In addition, avoiding prolonged sitting or bed rest can also help prevent cerebral infarction.
Regular check-ups: Regular physical health check-ups are an effective means to detect and improve chronic diseases in a timely manner. In addition, regular cerebrovascular examinations can also help to detect cerebrovascular lesions at an early stage.
Focus on sleep quality: Sleep quality is closely related to brain health. Maintaining a good sleeping posture and environment can help improve sleep quality, thereby preventing the occurrence of cerebral infarction.
Seek medical attention in time: If you have symptoms such as limb numbness, dizziness and headache while sleeping, you should seek medical attention in time for examination and **. Early detection and cerebrovascular lesions can effectively prevent the occurrence of cerebral infarction.
In conclusion, cerebral infarction is a serious disease, but it is also preventable. The occurrence of cerebral infarction can be effectively prevented by controlling chronic diseases, changing unhealthy living Xi habits, regular check-ups, paying attention to sleep quality and seeking medical attention in a timely manner. If you have symptoms such as numbness, dizziness, headache and other symptoms while sleeping, you should seek medical attention in time to maintain our brain health.
