68-year-old Aunt Zhou went out to dance in the square after dinner in the evening. When she was dancing vigorously, she suddenly felt that the world was spinning and her vision went dark. She shouted, "What's going on? I can't see." Then she fell to the ground. get up. The elderly and aunties who were dancing in the square suddenly gathered around. Some people said, "It may be a heart attack. If anyone has nitroglycerin in his pocket, I can give him a few pills." Some people said, "It may be a stroke. , I don’t know what the disease is, so I’d better pinch the person to wake him up first.” Everyone was talking at a loss, and in the end it was Aunt Zhang, the lead dancer of the square dance, who made the decision and immediately dialed 120 emergency number to send Aunt Zhou away. Went to the hospital.
The doctor performed a brain CT examination and found no abnormalities, but it showed plaques in the bilateral carotid arteries. Further examination of the brain MRA found that the blood flow rate of vertebrobasilar artery was abnormally slow, and he was finally diagnosed as having cerebral blood supply. Less than .
1. Insufficient blood supply to the brain and pathogenic factors
The normal operation of the human brain requires a sufficient amount of blood supply. Once the blood supply to the brain is reduced due to various factors, chronic and widespread insufficient blood supply to the brain will occur, leading to brain damage. Tissue ischemia and hypoxia may lead to brain dysfunction and may induce cerebrovascular diseases such as cerebral infarction and Alzheimer's disease. This disease tends to occur in elderly people over 45 years old, especially those over 60 years old, with an incidence rate as high as 50%! This shows that insufficient blood supply to the brain is also a "dangerous killer" that threatens the health of middle-aged and elderly people!
The causative factors of insufficient cerebral blood supply can be mainly divided into the following four aspects:
1 and atherosclerosis. Especially if the patient himself suffers from diabetes , hyperlipidemia, hypertension and other basic diseases, if these indicators are not controlled up to standard and are unstable, it will easily lead to plaques in the blood vessels, leading to narrowing and degeneration of the blood vessels. Brittle, the resistance of blood flowing through blood vessels increases and the flow rate slows down, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the brain. carotid artery plaque is a very common cause.
2, cardiac insufficiency and heart disease. The heart is the "engine" that supplies blood to the whole body. If you suffer from heart disease or insufficient heart pumping, the brain cannot get enough blood, which will also cause insufficient blood supply to the brain.
3, abnormal blood pressure. Blood pressure is the lateral pressure of blood on the blood vessel wall. Too high or too low blood pressure will also affect the blood supply to the brain. If the supply exceeds demand, it is expected that there will be insufficient blood supply to the brain.
4, cervical spondylosis . The vertebral artery is the only way for blood to reach the brain. If abnormal growth occurs in the cervical vertebra 2 and the vertebral artery is compressed, the blood flow to the brain will slow down, which may also lead to insufficient blood supply to the brain.
2. If you have these symptoms in the head, be alert and beware of insufficient blood supply to the brain.
1, abnormal mood, and gradually worsening sleep disorders.
Patients with insufficient blood supply to the brain may also suffer from unexplained insomnia, which gradually worsens. At the same time, they may also suffer from unexplained insomnia. Emotional out-of-control symptoms such as irritability and anxiety.
2. Blurred vision or even transient insomnia
Insufficient blood supply to the brain will affect the blood supply to the fundus arteries. Especially when the carotid artery has a large degree of stenosis, severe insufficient blood supply to the brain can cause visual abnormalities, manifested as blurred vision, or even blurred vision. Discredit and other temporary blindness.
3, hearing loss and tinnitus
Normal hearing also requires a sufficient supply of blood pressure from the brain to maintain. Once blood supply is insufficient, the patient's auditory sensors and auditory nerve fibers will function abnormally, and auditory abnormalities such as tinnitus and hearing loss will easily occur.
4. Progressive dizziness and headache
Patients with mild cerebral blood supply insufficiency mainly show memory loss, listlessness, and inability to concentrate. However, as the cerebral blood supply decreases, these head symptoms will progressively worsen and cause dizziness. , headaches, dizziness, and will become more severe and more frequent.
3. To improve the insufficient blood supply to the brain, pharmacists recommend that these three points be done.
1. Actively treat the primary disease and strictly control relevant indicators.
Patients with cervical spondylosis are advised to pay attention to sitting and standing postures daily, avoid fatigue, take reasonable rest, and follow the guidance of a doctor. Take Guiqi Huoxue Capsules and other drugs to improve cervical spondylosis; patients with high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes must actively control their diet and insist on exercise, and cooperate with their doctors to reasonably take , valsartan, , rosuvastatin, and MiG When using alcohol and other related therapeutic drugs, all indicators must be controlled within a reasonable range to minimize the risk of atherosclerosis.
2. Scientific use of medication to improve insufficient blood supply to the brain
In addition to controlling primary diseases, scientific use of medication to improve insufficient blood supply to the brain and provide symptomatic treatment is also essential. It is recommended that patients actively seek help from their doctors and take aspirin or , clopidogrel, , etc. under their guidance to resist platelet aggregation, improve blood flow, and restore blood supply to the brain. In addition, you can also choose flunarizine to expand the lumen of blood vessels, citicoline to improve brain tissue microcirculation, betahistine mesylate to improve cerebral artery insufficiency, etc.
3. Cultivate a good lifestyle
Your daily diet should be light, stay away from foods high in oil and salt, add an appropriate amount of white meat such as fish, shrimp, and chicken, and eat less red meat such as beef and mutton, such as fresh celery, grapes, black fungus, etc. Fruits and vegetables can also be consumed in moderation, which is beneficial to human blood vessel health; in addition, regular exercise can be maintained to strengthen muscles and control weight. Reasonable exercise can also improve blood vessel elasticity and help maintain blood vessel health.
