news client on the 16th (YMG all-media reporter Quan Baihui Huang Yufeng, Li Weijia correspondent Li Chengxiu Ma Jin photo report) September 16th is China Brain Health Day, the brain is the "headquarters" of the human body and plays a very important role In recent years, the incidence of cerebrovascular diseases and other brain diseases has become higher and higher, and even younger and younger. In the face of "first" and other major events, what knowledge should we know? Recently, YMG reporter conducted an interview with Liang Zhigang, chief physician of the Department of Neurology, Yantai Yuhuangding Hospital.
Alcohol's damage to the brain should not be ignored-long-term drinking and brewing can cause nerve damage
"Doctor, I have always walked unsteadily, wobbly, and continuous..." in In Liang Zhigang's outpatient clinic, 66-year-old Mr. Zhang is describing his condition to Liang Zhigang. After detailed inquiry, Mr. Zhang said that he has been drinking his own liquor recently. Because he thinks it is delicious, he drinks a little every day, but he suddenly found himself recently. Unsteady walking has attracted attention. Through the examination, Liang Zhigang diagnosed that Mr. Zhang had a cerebellar dysfunction, and he needed medication and changes in living habits to gradually improve the symptoms. Even so, the long-term drinking and brewing habits also caused a certain degree of irreversible damage to the nervous system, especially the cerebellum. .
Liang Zhigang told reporters that smoking and alcohol abuse can cause great damage to the cerebrovascular and nervous system. Like Mr. Zhang, drinking high-grade liquor can damage the nervous system. In addition, home-brewed wine contains The ingredients are not yet clear, and the damage to the brain may be more. In addition, irregular life, such as a high-salt and high-fat diet, long-term lack of exercise, lack of sleep, and mental stress are all risk factors for brain diseases.
To judge cerebrovascular diseases, you need to know this formula!
"Cerebrovascular disease has an acute onset, disability, and a high fatality rate. Therefore, it is very important to recognize it at the first time." Liang Zhigang said that currently China’s Brain Love Project has put forward the "BEFAST" formula, B is difficult to balance, E If you can't see clearly, F is the face is not straight, A is the arm is not flat, and T is the symptom. Please be alert and dial 120.You can use BEFAST to quickly determine whether you have cerebrovascular disease and go to the hospital for standardized treatment in time.
Liang Zhigang reminds everyone that when encountering cerebrovascular diseases, you must seize the golden treatment window within 4.5 hours and send the patient to the hospital for thrombolysis and vascular recanalization thrombectomy. The earlier the treatment, the better. Of course, except for early and rapid treatment of cerebrovascular diseases, it is more important to take primary and secondary prevention measures to control high blood pressure and hyperlipidemia, and change bad lifestyles. If you have previously suffered from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, high blood pressure, high blood lipids, long-term lack of sleep, high mental stress, and people with family inherited brain diseases, it is recommended to have regular cerebrovascular disease checkups after the age of 45 to avoid diseases. happen.
These statements are wrong!
"The clogging of blood vessels is a long process, so we must also correctly understand the changes of blood vessels." Liang Zhigang told reporters that pat and massage are often a way for people to unclog blood vessels, and they often pat their limbs red and swollen. Change back to feel that the blood vessels are dredged, but this practice is not scientifically based, and sometimes dangerous situations may occur, such as lower extremity venous thrombosis. When the leg is formed, slaps on the legs may cause the thrombus to fall off, which will flow with the blood after falling off. It will block the blood vessels in the brain and lungs and cause more damage.
Drinking vinegar to soften blood vessels is also a common saying in life. Liang Zhigang explained that hardened arterial plaque is mainly composed of calcium and fat. If calcium is soaked in vinegar, it can indeed dissolve calcium, but the human body has a powerful mechanism to regulate the pH of the blood, and it will not let the blood be caused by drinking vinegar. "It turns acid", and the blood really becomes acidic, which is harmful to the human body; and ingesting a large amount of vinegar on an empty stomach will corrode the digestive tract, burn the gastric mucosa and esophagus, cause ulcers, cause severe pain, and harm the body. Therefore, do not believe in the rumours circulating in life. When you feel unwell, you need to go to a regular hospital for examination to avoid delaying the best treatment period.
