Cerebral infarction, also known as stroke, is one of the common diseases in middle-aged and elderly people in China, with a high disability rate and mortality rate. The occurrence of cerebral infarction is closely related to insufficient blood flow to the brain. Therefore, it is of great significance to identify the four physical signs of cerebral insufficiency in advance for us to prevent and timely cerebral infarction.
1. Sudden dizziness.
Vertigo is a common symptom of cerebral insufficiency, especially when you stand up suddenly or change your position. This is because there is insufficient blood flow to the brain, resulting in insufficient energy** in the brainstem and cerebellum, which affects the body's balance function. When sudden vertigo occurs, it should be paid close attention to and seek medical attention in time.
2. Transient blurred vision.
Insufficient blood supply to the brain can cause blurred vision in the eye, especially when looking suddenly, which recovers on its own after a few moments. This is because there is insufficient blood flow to the brain, which affects the visual function of the eyes. If transient blurred vision occurs frequently, you should seek medical attention promptly to prevent the condition from getting worse.
3. Sudden slurred speech.
Slurred speech is another common symptom of insufficient blood supply to the brain. Presents with a sudden onset of slurred speech when speaking or swallowing food, which recovers spontaneously after a few moments. This is because there is insufficient blood flow to the brain, which affects the function of the brain's language center. If you have a sudden slurred speech, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible.
4. Sudden limb weakness.
Sudden limb weakness is a typical symptom of cerebral insufficiency, characterized by sudden weakness in one hand or foot, unable to lift, and recover spontaneously after a few moments. This is because there is insufficient blood flow to the brain, which affects the brain's control of limb movements. When encountering sudden limb weakness, it is necessary to be highly vigilant and seek medical attention in time.
In addition to the above four physical signs, there may be other symptoms such as frequent headaches, tinnitus, insomnia, and dreaminess. When these symptoms appear, they should also be taken seriously and seek medical attention in time.
In order to prevent cerebral infarction, we should pay attention to maintaining good lifestyle habits, such as quitting smoking, limiting alcohol, eating reasonably, and exercising appropriately. In addition, regular physical examinations to detect and control chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes are also important measures to prevent cerebral infarction.
In short, the prevention of cerebral infarction should start from daily life, we should always pay attention to the changes in the body, identify the four physical signs of insufficient cerebral blood supply in time, and achieve early detection and early detection to reduce the risk of cerebral infarction. At the same time, regular medical treatment, following the doctor's advice, and scientific medication are also the keys to preventing cerebral infarction. Let's work together to support a healthy life.
