When a cerebral infarction comes! Does the body "cue" in advance? Doctor: Don't ignore these three manifestations
Cerebral infarction, also known as stroke, is an acute cerebrovascular disease caused by sudden blockage of blood vessels in the brain, resulting in cerebral ischemia and hypoxia. It has the characteristics of high morbidity, high disability rate and high mortality, and is one of the major diseases that seriously threaten human health worldwide. Cerebral infarction often occurs suddenly, but in fact, before the onset of cerebral infarction, our body may send some "cues" in advance. This article will detail these "cues", i.e., the precursors of cerebral infarction, and how to recognize and respond to these signals in order to prevent and respond to cerebral infarction early.
1. Precursor manifestations of cerebral infarction.
Transient ischemic attack (TIA).
Transient ischemic attack is one of the most common precursors of cerebral infarction. It manifests as a sudden onset of transient neurological deficit symptoms such as slurred speech, limb weakness, numbness, visual disturbances, etc. These symptoms usually last from a few minutes to a few hours and then disappear completely without any sequelae. The onset of TIA is caused by transient narrowing or occlusion of blood vessels in the brain, which is an important warning sign of cerebral infarction. Therefore, as soon as TIA symptoms appear, you should seek medical attention immediately for a full examination and**.
Frequent yawning
Yawning is a normal physiological phenomenon, but if it occurs frequently, especially if it continues to yawn frequently despite lack of sleep or fatigue, it may be one of the precursors of cerebral infarction. Frequent yawning may be caused by cerebral hypoxia, which is an important pathological basis for cerebral infarction. Therefore, for frequent yawning, you should be vigilant and seek medical attention in time.
Abnormal fluctuations in blood pressure
Abnormal fluctuations in blood pressure are also one of the common precursors of cerebral infarction. Long-term hypertension is one of the main risk factors for cerebral infarction, but a sudden increase or decrease in blood pressure may also indicate the development of cerebral infarction. A sudden increase in blood pressure can be caused due to emotional agitation, strenuous exercise, etc., whereas a sudden decrease in blood pressure can be due to an overdose of medications, abnormal heart function, etc. Whether blood pressure rises or falls, it can cause damage to blood vessels in the brain and increase the risk of cerebral infarction. Therefore, for abnormal fluctuations in blood pressure, you should pay close attention to and seek medical attention in time to adjust the ** plan.
2. How to identify and respond to the precursors of cerebral infarction.
Be vigilant and observant
For the precursors of cerebral infarction mentioned above, we should be vigilant and closely observe our physical condition. As soon as these symptoms appear, especially if they last for a long time or are reversed, they should be checked by a doctor immediately.
Seek medical attention in a timely manner
When symptoms of precursor cerebral infarction appear, you should seek medical attention in time for a detailed examination. The doctor will comprehensively determine whether there is a risk of cerebral infarction based on the patient's medical history, symptoms and signs, and formulate a corresponding plan. Commonly used examination methods include head CT, MRI, cerebral angiography, etc.
Active**Primary disease
Many patients with cerebral infarction suffer from chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia. These diseases, if not effectively controlled, can increase the risk of cerebral infarction. Therefore, for patients with chronic diseases who have been diagnosed, they should actively develop the primary disease and control blood pressure, blood sugar and blood lipids and other indicators within the normal range.
Maintain good lifestyle habits
Good lifestyle habits are of great significance for the prevention of cerebral infarction. It is recommended to quit smoking and limit alcohol, eat a reasonable diet, exercise moderately, and maintain psychological balance. These measures can help reduce the risk of cerebral infarction and improve physical health.
3. First aid and ** for cerebral infarction.
First aid for cerebral infarction
Cerebral infarction is an acute cerebrovascular disease, and once it occurs, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible. During the first aid process, the doctor will take measures such as thrombolysis, thrombectomy, and antiplatelet aggregation to restore cerebral blood perfusion and reduce brain tissue damage. At the same time, oxygen and intracranial pressure are reduced** to relieve symptoms and improve prognosis.
Cerebral infarction**
Patients with postcerebral infarction often have different degrees of neurological deficit symptoms, such as hemiplegia, aphasia, etc. In order to promote the patient's ** and improve the quality of life, the doctor will develop a personalized ** plan. The measures include physics, homework, speech, etc., and are designed to help patients recover their neurological function and self-care ability.
4. Summary and Suggestions.
Cerebral infarction is a serious cerebrovascular disease, which poses a great threat to the health and life of patients. However, before the onset of cerebral infarction, our body may send some "cues" in advance. By identifying and responding to these precursors, we can prevent and reduce the incidence and disability of cerebral infarction at an early stage. Therefore, it is recommended that everyone be vigilant and pay attention to their physical condition; Once the precursor symptoms of cerebral infarction appear, you should seek medical attention in time; Active**Primary diseaseMaintain good lifestyle habitsAs well as understanding the first aid and knowledge of cerebral infarction.
