With the aging of the population, the health problems of middle-aged and elderly people have attracted increasing attention. As a common cerebrovascular disease, the incidence of cerebral infarction is increasing year by year, which seriously threatens the life safety of middle-aged and elderly people.
Recently, a 58-year-old man suddenly suffered a cerebral infarction after waking up in the morning, which aroused people's attention to the health behavior of middle-aged and elderly people after waking up in the morning. This article will start with the four types of behaviors that middle-aged and elderly people should avoid after waking up in the morning, popularize the knowledge of prevention and treatment of cerebral infarction, and help middle-aged and elderly people spend every day healthily.
1.Dizziness and headache
Cerebral infarction is harmful, the causes are complex, and people with chronic diseases or excessive obesity should focus on prevention, otherwise their health will be threatened, and symptoms such as dizziness and headache will be obvious during development.
Many people simply rest when their heads are dizzy and feel pain, thinking that they are overworked, but they do not know that this signal is likely to be due to abnormal brain function. In healthy people, the blood vessels in the brain are unobstructed, and blood can be delivered to the important tissues of the brain in time to maintain a relaxed state.
2.Seeing things blurry
Similarly, the blockage of blood vessels in the brain may affect not only the optic nerve itself, but also the optic nerve, so that the patient can see clearly in a short period of time, or even "both eyes are black".
Most people tend to have this situation only when they squat for too long and get up suddenly, but for patients with cerebral infarction, the frequency of visual abnormalities is higher, and it is not limited to a certain situation.
3.Difficulty swallowing
The signs of cerebral infarction are usually relatively obvious, and when there is difficulty in swallowing, it is necessary to strengthen precautions, which are likely to be caused by cerebral infarction.
Because before the onset of cerebral infarction, the patient's brain nerves are damaged and the brain function is weakened, which will cause some adverse reactions, and even lead to dysphagia. If you find that you can't eat normally and have difficulty swallowing when eating, this may be a signal from a cerebral infarction.
4.Decreased language skills
In the process of cerebral infarction threatening health, signals will emerge, especially the language ability will be reduced, and the speech process will be slurred and unable to express normally, which is a signal sent by the disease. Because the level of human language ability is related to whether the brain nerves function normally.
If the nerve center that controls language is dysfunctional under the influence of prolonged ischemia and hypoxia, it is easy to be slurred in the process of speaking, unable to express normally, and even have aphasia.
1.Sit up sharply
Some people cause the alarm to go off and then sit up suddenly, which is not good. When you just wake up in the morning, you should pay attention not to sit up immediately, so as not to lose blood circulation, resulting in short-term ischemia and hypoxia of the brain.
In addition, in older people, the elasticity of blood vessels is not very good, and sitting up suddenly may cause fluctuations in blood pressure, which is not conducive to the health of blood vessels. Therefore, when you get up in the morning, it is recommended to lie down for a while, move your limbs, and sit up again when your brain is clear.
2.Smoke immediately
Old smokers like to smoke a cigarette in the morning to refresh themselves when they wake up, and this practice should also be changed. After waking up in the morning, the body is not active, the blood is relatively viscous, and the harmful substances in cigarettes will increase the viscosity, cause blood vessel blockage, and increase the risk of cerebral infarction.
If you have the habit of smoking after getting up, it means that you have a great addiction to smoking, and you should get rid of it as soon as possible, because it will also damage your lungs for a long time.
3.Breakfast was too oily
We often say that breakfast should be eaten well, and the plan of the day lies in the morning, and breakfast is very important for human health. When eating breakfast, you must try to choose healthy foods, such as skim milk, eggs, soy milk, multigrain porridge and other foods are suitable for patients with three highs.
Be sure to avoid eating a breakfast that is too greasy, many middle-aged and elderly people are very keen on fritters, pancakes and other foods. However, the fat content of these foods is very high, which can easily lead to an increase in blood lipids, increase blood viscosity, and easily induce cerebral infarction.
4.Anxious to defecate
At this time, some people will force bowel movements, which may also cause an increase in blood pressure in the body and increase the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. So when you get up in the morning, don't be too anxious to defecate, you can stand for a minute or so, wait for the blood pressure in your body to stabilize, and then start going to the toilet.
If you have constipation, you can usually eat a little whole grain or take a few minutes to massage your abdomen when you get up in the morning.
1.Take your medications on time
After people with cerebral infarction are sent to the hospital for rescue, doctors will prescribe some drugs according to the patient's own physical condition**, which can promote the return of blood vessels to normal, so as to control the degree of development of cerebral infarction.
Therefore, patients with cerebral infarction need to cooperate with the doctor's plan in daily life, take medicine on time, and do not reduce the amount of medicine at will, otherwise it will be useless.
2.Eat right
If you can eat less fried and high-fat foods in your daily life, you can effectively reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood and reduce the probability of blood clots.
At the same time, increasing the intake of green vegetables and fresh fruits not only gives the body the necessary vitamins, but also softens the blood vessels and prevents the appearance of arteriosclerosis.
3.Drink plenty of water
Proper water intake can dilute the blood, allowing blood to flow more smoothly and thus reducing the risk of disease.
Therefore, patients should develop the habit of actively drinking water at ordinary times, and should drink water about every half hour. Especially in the morning, because the blood sugar and blood pressure levels in the body will increase significantly, it is necessary to drink a glass of water on an empty stomach.
At the same time, patients can also drink some water properly before going to bed at night to prevent the blood from becoming viscous during the night.
4.Life is in motion
For the elderly, their physical condition has decreased significantly, so their exercise should be timely and appropriate. Many people believe that exercising after meals is good for their health.
However, medical expert studies have shown that for the elderly with cardiovascular disease, strenuous exercise should not be done within two hours after eating, because exercise at this time will bring a great burden to their cardiovascular system and cause an increase in blood pressure.
However, for other healthy people, a ten-minute walk after a meal can effectively improve the body's blood sugar and help digestion of the stomach and intestines.
Conclusion: Nowadays, cerebral infarction not only plagues middle-aged and elderly people, but also becomes a major disease that threatens young people, so we must correct various factors that may induce cerebral infarction in life, and when early symptoms of cerebral infarction appear, we should also ** as soon as possible.
