"Why can't I see something suddenly!"
Uncle Wang is 62 years old this year. He has no hobbies except playing chess. Uncle Wang usually likes to read some medical popular science, and he also pays more attention to health preservation, so his health has always been pretty good.
Today, Uncle Wang played chess as usual. When Uncle Wang was playing chess, he suddenly couldn't see anything, so Uncle Wang said the sentence at the beginning of the article.
The chess friend saw that Mr. Wang was in a wrong state, so he quickly called 120 to take him to the hospital. After the doctor asked Mr. Wang about his condition, he quickly gave him a head CT scan. After the examination results are released, it is prompted that is cerebral infarction .
Later, when the doctor learned about the situation from Uncle Wang, he often felt dizzy three months ago. Uncle Wang thought that he was dizzy because of cervical spondylosis , so he didn't take this matter to heart.
Speaking of this, many friends may think that Mr. Wang must have some bad living habits, but this is not the case. Uncle Wang is not fat, he does not smoke or drink, and he does not have any chronic diseases. But why does Uncle Wang still suffer from cerebral infarction? In order to give everyone more understanding and understanding of cerebral infarction, today the doctor will have a good idea to talk to you about the relevant knowledge.
1.How did Mr. Wang get involved in cerebral infarction?
Although Mr. Wang has good daily life habits and has no underlying diseases, he is 62 years old after all. People of this age, no matter how well they are maintained, have more or less atherosclerosis.
Many friends believe that the reason why people develop atherosclerosis is mainly due to some bad living habits, such as smoking, drinking, staying up late, etc. Although the view of has some truth, it is also a bit one-sided.
Objectively speaking, age is also a high-risk factor for atherosclerosis. To some extent, atherosclerosis is also a senile lesion. After a person reaches a certain age, he will have different degrees of atherosclerosis.
For Mr. Wang, he is 62 years old this year. Atherosclerosis must also occur in the body of 62-year-old elderly people. At the same time, Uncle Wang likes to play chess, which can take several hours at a time. If you sit for a long time, the blood flow will slow down, which provides objective conditions for the formation of thrombus.
In addition, you may be emotionally excited during the chess process. During the emotional process, people may cause increased blood pressure and heart rate to increase, which will undoubtedly increase the risk of arterial plaque falling off. When the arterial plaque falls off, it will flow with the flow of blood. When narrow cerebrovascular vessels are encountered, it may block blood vessels, which in turn induces cerebral infarction.
2. When sleeping, four major symptoms appear, which may be a cerebral infarction coming to you!
Speaking of this, you may find it strange: Why do you say that four major symptoms may be caused by cerebral infarction?
In fact, this is mainly because when people sleep, the blood flow rate is relatively slowed down. When the blood flow slows down, the chance of embolic formation will increase, which will undoubtedly increase the risk of cerebral infarction.
When sleeping, if there are four major symptoms, you need to be alert to cerebral infarction. The specific summary is as follows:
❶ Limb numbness:
One of the functions of our brain is to dominate sensation. When cerebral infarction occurs, it may cause abnormal sensory in the dominant area.
For example, take the hypothalamus as an example. If the site of cerebral infarction occurs in the hypothalamus, it may cause to feel numb and . This is because the hypothalamus is a key part of the upload of the sensory nerves of a person. If the hypothalamus is infarct, it will affect the transmission of sensation, which will lead to symptoms of numbness in the hands.
❷ Limb weakness:
Under normal circumstances, the brain can control people's movement.
When cerebral infarction occurs, it will cause death of local brain tissue. If the site of brain tissue death is an important place, it may cause a sense of powerlessness in the dominant area.
Under normal circumstances, the brain can control people's movement. After cerebral infarction occurs, the necrotic part of the brain tissue loses its corresponding function, so it cannot control human activities.
❸ Headache:
When a person has cerebral infarction, symptoms of headache may occur.
This is mainly because after the brain infarction occurs, edema may occur locally. After edema occurs in the brain, it may lead to increased intracranial pressure, which may lead to symptoms of headache.
In addition, if the site of cerebral infarction occurs in the cerebral cortex, it will affect the meninges. When meninges develop lesions, they can cause symptoms of headache.
❹ Mouth crooked:
Under normal circumstances, our brain can control the tension of muscles. The main reason why normal people don’t have crooked mouths is that the muscles on both sides have similar tension.
When a person suffers from cerebral infarction, it may cause the muscle tension of on a certain side to decrease. In this way, the strength of pulling the corners of the mouth on both sides will be imbalanced, which will cause the symptoms of crooked mouth.
3. How should we prevent cerebral infarction?
If we want to prevent cerebral infarction, the main thing we can do is to target its causes.
There are some factors that we can intervene in the cause of cerebral infarction, but some factors cannot be changed, such as age, genetics, etc. To prevent cerebral infarction, the main things we can do are the following:
❶ Light diet:
People's hearts are the most important thing, and diet plays a very important role in us. If we can eat well, it will be twice the result with half the effort for preventing cerebral infarction.
exercise is very important to us. It not only delays vascular aging, but also reduces the risk of cerebral infarction by promoting blood circulation .
exercise requires long-term persistence to have obvious results, and the greater the exercise, the better, it is better not to feel thinking the next day. The time for each exercise is controlled to about 30 minutes.
The significance of regular physical examinations is that high-risk factors for cerebral infarction can be detected in advance, such as hyperlipidemia, carotid artery plaque , atrial fibrillation, etc.
If high-risk factors for cerebral infarction can be detected in advance, they can be intervened in advance, which will undoubtedly significantly reduce the risk of cerebral infarction.
Take hyperlipidemia as an example. Many people have no symptoms after getting this disease, but it unknowingly increases the risk of cerebral infarction. #Health2022#
❹Others:
If you want to prevent cerebral infarction, you also need to pay attention to quitting smoking and drinking, not staying up late, maintaining an optimistic attitude, etc.
