【Fan Letter】Aunt Guo has always been a stubborn person, especially when it comes to health. Her son and daughter-in-law have been advising her to pay attention to her blood sugar and take blood sugar-lowering medication on time every day. But Aunt Guo always shook her head and dismissed, she confidently believed that she had returned to the countryside, had a regular life, and no longer needed to rely on those drugs.
In the morning, Aunt Guo said to herself: "My blood sugar has been stable and I don't need to take medicine, it hurts my body." She continued to be contented with household chores and farm work. She began to ignore the worries of her son and daughter-in-law, stopped measuring her blood sugar, and stopped taking her medication on time.
As time passed, Aunt Guo began to feel dizzy, but she thought it was because she was too tired from working in the fields. She deluded herself into believing that if she just took a break, she would be fine. However, things were not as simple as she thought.
One day, when Aunt Guo was working, she suddenly felt dizzy and lost control of her surroundings. She wanted to call for help, but her voice was drowned out by the sudden pain. She collapsed in her vegetable patch, her face contorted, her hands in the shape of chicken feet, and she could no longer stand up.
Aunt Guo's neighbors found out about her situation in time and rushed her to the hospital. At the hospital, doctors immediately checked her and found that her blood sugar had risen abnormally, leading to a severe stroke. The son and daughter-in-law received ** from the hospital and hurried to the hospital. Seeing Aunt Guo lying on the hospital bed, her face distorted and unable to speak, their hearts were like knives.
1. Understand myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction
A heart attack, also known as a myocardial infarction, is a dangerous cardiovascular event. It usually occurs when part of the muscles of the heart that supply blood to the coronary arteries suffer damage or die. The coronary arteries are vital blood vessels that carry oxygen and nutrients to the heart muscle, and once the coronary arteries are blocked or narrowed, the heart muscle will not get enough blood**, which can lead to the death of some of the heart muscle tissue. Symptoms of a heart attack usually include severe chest pain, shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, and cold sweats. Rapid access to medical care** is essential to minimize heart damage.
Cerebral infarction is damage to brain tissue caused by blockage of blood vessels in the brain. Blockages in blood vessels in the brain can be caused by blood clots, arteriosclerosis or other vascular diseases. When blood flow to the brain is blocked, nearby brain tissue is starved of oxygen and nutrients, leading to cell damage and death. Symptoms of a cerebral infarction may include sudden numbness of the face or side of the body, difficulty speaking, sudden headaches, visual problems, and loss of balance or coordination. A cerebral infarction is an emergency that requires immediate medical attention to minimize brain damage.
Second, four indicators
Key indicator 1 - blood pressure
Blood pressure is an extremely important health indicator that is directly related to the risk of myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction. Hypertension is one of the main risk factors for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. In this chapter, we will delve into the definition of blood pressure, how to measure it, and the effects of hypertension on myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction. At the same time, we will also discuss how to control blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart and brain infarction through lifestyle changes and medications**.
Key indicator 2 - blood glucose
Hyperglycemia is not only associated with diabetes, but also with the risk of myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction. This chapter will discuss the importance of blood sugar and how to maintain healthy blood sugar levels through diet, exercise, and medication management. We will also highlight the importance of early detection and prevention of hyperglycemia to reduce the risk of myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction.
Key indicator 3 - blood lipids
Blood lipid levels are another important health indicator that is strongly associated with the risk of myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction. In this chapter, we'll delve into the types of blood lipids such as cholesterol and triacylglycerol, and their impact on cardiovascular health. At the same time, we will ** how to control poor blood lipid levels and reduce the occurrence of myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction through diet, exercise and medication.
Key indicator 4 - body weight
Weight management is also essential to prevent myocardial and cerebral infarction. This chapter will introduce the dangers of overweight and obesity to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health, and how to maintain a healthy weight through a healthy diet and moderate exercise. We will also highlight the importance of body mass index (BMI) and how to develop and implement an effective weight-loss plan.
3. Precautionary measures and precautions
Quit smoking:Smoking can damage the walls of blood vessels and increase the risk of thrombosis, so quitting smoking can quickly improve cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health. If you need help quitting smoking, you can consult a medical professional or seek smoking cessation aids.
Reduce alcohol:Excessive alcohol consumption can raise blood pressure, increase the burden on the heart, and increase the risk of cerebral infarction. It is recommended to limit the amount of alcohol you drink or abstain from alcohol altogether to reduce the risk of developing the disease.
Pressure:Long-term high stress can lead to increased blood pressure and inflammatory responses, increasing the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. By learning Xi ways to cope with stress, such as meditation, yoga or counseling, you can improve your mental health and thus protect your cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems.
Regular medical check-ups and medical monitoring:It can help identify potential risk factors early. Work with a medical professional to develop a personalized prevention plan, including medications** and lifestyle changes, to ensure your cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health is at its best.
Remember, health is the greatest asset, and we can protect it through our own efforts and choices. Therefore, let us cherish our health and strive to control these 4 indicators, so that cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases will no longer disturb our lives. May you have a healthy, happy future!
