Speaking of cerebral infarction , I believe that most middle-aged and elderly friends are familiar with it. This is a common sudden disease in middle-aged and elderly people. Once it attacks, it can easily lead to paralysis or even directly lead to the death of the patient. It is a relatively serious disease. cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Under normal circumstances, cerebral infarction is more common among middle-aged and elderly people, but in recent years, an increasing proportion of young people have cerebral infarction. Stroke occurs every year. Ten percent of the population are young and middle-aged people, even the youngest. The patient developed cerebral infarction in his teenage years.
Many able-bodied young people suffer from cerebral infarction at a young age, and some even become bedridden because of it. Lying in bed for a lifetime is quite terrifying to the body and mind.
A 27-year-old boy who stayed up late suffered a sudden acute cerebral infarction
A 27-year-old young man who lived in Hefei, Anhui Province was sent to the hospital for treatment because of acute cerebral infarction. The main cause of the disease was staying up all night . After staying up late, this young man suddenly felt numbness in his right limb and no strength. In the end, he even became completely unable to move half of his body.
After being sent to the hospital for examination, the doctor determined that the patient had acute cerebral infarction and immediately gave the patient intravenous thrombolytic treatment. After two hours of thrombolysis, the patient's condition gradually improved. The green channel opened by the doctor was as fast as possible. Helping patients escape the risk of lifelong paralysis.
In fact, this young man is relatively lucky, because he received timely treatment and received effective treatment, avoiding the risk of being paralyzed in bed. When cerebral infarction occurs, many patients miss the best opportunity for treatment because their physical condition is not sensitive at the time of the onset. Waiting until the condition becomes serious before treatment is performed, often leaving serious sequelae.
In fact, from this young man’s sudden cerebral infarction, we can see some bad living habits, which have done a lot of damage to our body. This young man suffered a cerebral infarction due to staying up late for a long time.
The formation of cerebral infarction is related to three things. We should do less
. Staying up late for a long time
Staying up late is very harmful to the body. Every time we stay up late, it will overdraw our physical strength and increase the burden on the internal organs of the body. And because staying up late will cause blood vessels to constrict, increase blood pressure , damage our blood vessel endothelium, and then increase the risk of arteriosclerosis . When atherosclerosis occurs in our body, it is often easy to cause blood vessel blockage, eventually leading to cerebral infarction.
. Excessive obesity and poor eating habits
The formation of cerebral infarction is mainly due to blood vessel blockage. If we are too obese, we are prone to hyperlipidemia. When the blood lipids in the body are too high, the blood viscosity decreases and blood vessels are more likely to be blocked. If blood lipids are too high for a long time, triglycerides and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol will easily lead to the formation of atherosclerosis. If carotid atherosclerosis occurs, the risk of cerebral infarction will follow. improve. If coronary atherosclerosis occurs, myocardial infarction is likely to occur, and both diseases may lead to death.
. Long-term smoking
If we smoke regularly, we will inhale a large amount of harmful substances, among which Oxidized carbon and nicotine will increase the viscosity of our blood , blood vessels will narrow, which will slow down our blood circulation, prone to cholesterol accumulation, induce blood vessel blockage, and increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Cerebral infarction is an acute ischemic stroke. If not treated in time, it can easily lead to death of the patient.Early cerebral infarction has certain symptoms. When we discover these problems and treat them in time, we can reduce the risk of paralysis or even death due to cerebral infarction to a certain extent.
There are three obvious signs of sudden cerebral infarction. If found, seek medical attention in time.
① Yawning and drowsiness
When we have a cerebral infarction, the blood oxygen supply to the brain is insufficient, which can easily make us feel weak, dizzy and other problems. At this time, we often feel abnormally sleepy. During the day, we often feel sleepy and keep yawning . This is because the brain is controlling the body. yawning inhales more oxygen in order to relieve one's own hypoxia, but in fact As long as cerebral infarction occurs, such methods cannot be effectively improved, and timely treatment must be carried out.
②Body numbness and limb weakness
Like the young patient mentioned in the article, the more common body numbness occurs. Under normal circumstances, if Cerebral infarction is usually caused by unilateral numbness or weakness of the limbs, and the symptoms will gradually worsen as the cerebral infarction progresses, which may lead to inability to move or even paralysis. Help us suddenly develop unilateral limb numbness, which may be manifested as weakness in the hands and feet, abnormal walking, abnormal gait, or the inability to hold things normally. Sometimes limb numbness may be paroxysmal, return to normal after a period of time, and then relapse, or it may continue to worsen.
③ Deviation of the mouth and eyes, visual impairment
When cerebral infarction occurs, insufficient blood supply to the face may lead to skewness of the mouth and eyes, asymmetry of the mouth, nose, and lips, etc. And there may be more obvious visual impairment, such as seeing double images, one thing becomes two, dizziness, or even direct blindness. The occurrence of visual impairment is usually caused by cerebral infarction, which occurs in the blood supply location of the occipital lobe, affecting retinal nerve necrosis or defects, leading to blindness.
The above three abnormal manifestations are common symptoms of cerebral infarction. After cerebral infarction, if effective treatment cannot be carried out, 1.9 million neuron cells may be lost every minute, which is very harmful to our brains. Big ones.
Normally after cerebral infarction, the patient should be sent to the hospital within four hours for intravenous thrombolysis treatment. If the onset of illness lasts more than six hours, acute vascular intervention is required. If the onset of illness lasts more than eight hours, It is already very dangerous, and the best opportunity for treatment may be missed, seriously threatening the patient's life.
