For patients with sudden limb weakness or limb paralysis, it is easy to think of whether a stroke has occurred. First of all, for patients with such awareness, Dr. Zeng would like to give everyone a thumbs up. It is really good, because after watching my video or other neurologists’ videos, you must be helpful in the early treatment of cerebral infarction or cerebral hemorrhage. We have a very good and good understanding, so it shows that the medical science videos made by our doctors have also worked for everyone, and it is not in vain.
Today, Dr. Zeng will take you to learn about five clinical diseases called pseudo-stroke. Although these diseases show typical symptoms of limb weakness, limb hemiplegia, or speech disorder, etc. A typical symptom, but it is not an acute stroke.
First, epilepsy. For patients with epilepsy, when they have an acute seizure, the muscles of their limbs are in a rigid state, but after an acute seizure, their muscles are in a state of relaxation and weakness. This phenomenon is called this phenomenon. Todd's paralysis of epilepsy, and many family members of epilepsy patients are easily mistaken for an acute stroke, so they rush to give the patient some drugs such as Angong Niuhuang pills. In fact, this behavior is very unreasonable. of.
Second, family periodic paralysis. This disease is caused by unexplained causes of hypokalemia, and potassium is an important element to maintain the excitability of our cells, so when the potassium in our blood is too low, we are very Limb weakness or paresis is prone to occur, and when we have these symptoms, family members often mistake it for an acute stroke. This disease often occurs in young adults in their twenties and thirties. In fact, it is very easy to treat, as long as you need timely potassium supplementation.
Third, hypoglycemic encephalopathy.Our brain tissue basically does not store glucose, so when we have hypoglycemia, our brain cells may choose to be forced to go on strike due to insufficient glucose supply and insufficient energy supply, so at this time we will appear Typical stroke-like symptoms, for example, some patients will have symptoms such as hemiplegia on one side and unclear speech, while patients with hypoglycemic encephalopathy are often patients with type 2 diabetes, or patients who have not eaten one or two meals, of course These patients will have typical symptoms of chest tightness, palpitation, and profuse sweating in the early stage. As for hypoglycemic encephalopathy, you really can’t take it lightly, because I have seen many patients with hypoglycemic encephalopathy in clinical practice. After the hospital, he was in a state of lethargy, or even a coma. This situation can definitely not be solved by taking a piece of candy or two.
Fourth, migraine with aura. For patients who often watch Dr. Zeng’s videos, they are more or less aware of this disease, and patients with this type of migraine may have blurred vision and hemiplegia on one limb during an acute attack. The main reason for typical symptoms such as unclear speech is this type. When migraine sufferers have an acute attack, our cerebral blood vessels may have a transient spasm. It is not really an acute stroke that everyone says.

Fifth, brain tumor or brain metastasis. There is no doubt that brain tumors can cause some symptoms of neurological deficits in our brain. For example, some people will experience symptoms such as hemiplegia of one limb, unclear speech, and coughing when drinking water. However, the development of these symptoms occurs in most people. It progresses very slowly and gradually. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that a small number of patients with brain tumors will suddenly develop these symptoms.
This article is mainly aimed at patients who have sudden limb weakness and rush to take Angong Niuhuang pills, aspirin and other drugs.I believe everyone will understand after reading the above content, because the presence of limb weakness does not mean that a real stroke has occurred. It may also be the disease of these fake stroke, so everyone When faced with physical weakness, the best way is to rush to the hospital in time, and do not take any drugs without authorization during the rush.
If this article is very helpful to everyone, please like it, pay attention to medical science, pay attention to the neurology doctor Zeng.
