cerebral infarction is ischemic stroke . Its occurrence is closely related to underlying diseases such as hypertension and hyperlipidemia. In addition, poor eating habits can also induce cerebral infarction. Cerebral infarction mainly occurs in middle-aged and elderly people. Once it occurs, it can cause death. Even if it is rescued in time, it will leave sequelae and may even cause serious disability.
It is worth noting that the recurrence rate of cerebral infarction is particularly high, and the mortality rate after the second recurrence is higher than the first. So, what factors are related to recurrence of cerebral infarction?
1. Underlying diseases are still treated after
cerebral infarction, and the symptoms of cerebral infarction are only cured. However, for underlying diseases that induce cerebral infarction, such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, arteriosclerosis, , etc., if they still exist, the later cerebral infarction will occur again.
2. Lifestyle has not changed
Bad lifestyle is also one of the factors that induce cerebral infarction, such as long-term smoking and drinking , like to eat high-salt and high-fat food , staying up late, emotionally excited, and mentally nervous. These factors will lead to an increase in blood pressure and blood lipids , thereby inducing the onset of cerebral infarction.
If a cerebral infarction occurs once, and the lifestyle adjustment is not done in the later stage, and the above bad habits are still maintained, it is not difficult to understand that the recurrence of cerebral infarction is caused.
So, what should patients with cerebral infarction do to prevent secondary recurrence?
1. Adjust lifestyle
Long-term bad living habits, such as overeating, smoking and drinking, will induce three highs, accelerate the formation of thrombosis, and increase the risk of cerebral infarction. Therefore, if you suffer from underlying diseases such as three highs and arteriosclerosis, you must adjust your lifestyle . You should focus on light foods in your diet, reduce the intake of high-oil, high-salt, and high-sugar foods, and stay away from tobacco and alcohol .
Usually, you should pay attention to regular routine to avoid staying up late. In addition, you should also maintain a peaceful and optimistic mentality, which are of great significance to prevent recurrence of cerebral infarction.
2. Maintaining a healthy weight
Obesity is also a high-risk factor in inducing cerebral infarction. It is recommended that patients with cerebral infarction exercise should be exercised properly, which will help improve cardiopulmonary function , increase the brain's oxygen supply and blood supply, control weight, and reduce the risk of recurrence of cerebral infarction.
can choose swimming, jogging, cycling, and other exercises. The specific exercise method should be determined based on your physical condition, and it is better not to feel tired.
3, follow the doctor's advice to
Hypertension, hyperlipidemia, arteriosclerosis, etc. are all important factors inducing cerebral infarction. These diseases require long-term medication for to treat, so that can avoid the formation of thrombosis and prevent the secondary occurrence of cerebral infarction.
Many patients feel that they have no discomfort in their bodies after being cured of cerebral infarction, so they begin to not take medicine as prescribed by the doctor. Such behavior will only aggravate the three-high condition, promote the formation of thrombosis, lead to blood vessel blockage, and cause cerebral infarction to occur again.
4. Regular review of
three highs is one of the main factors inducing cerebral infarction. Therefore, patients who have had cerebral infarction and have combined with 3 highs should go to the hospital for regular review, measure blood pressure, blood lipids, blood sugar and other indicators, and control these indicators within the normal range. Once the above indicators fluctuate, the medication plan can be adjusted under the guidance of a doctor. The patient cannot increase or decrease the dose without authorization.
Cerebral infarction has a high probability of secondary recurrence. Therefore, patients who have had a cerebral infarction should take precautions in daily life, adjust their living habits according to medication, and reduce the possibility of recurrence.
In addition, you should pay more attention to your physical condition in life. If you often have symptoms such as dizziness, headache, numbness of limbs, drowsiness, etc., you should be careful of cerebral infarction and come to the door again, and you should go to the hospital for examination in time.
