Alternation of winter and spring
It is warm and cold
The human body is in the adaptation period at this time
This is the high-risk season for stroke
Especially for middle-aged and elderly people
It is also the high-risk season
Be vigilant!
So
What are the causes of stroke?
What are some misunderstandings about stroke?
How to prevent effectively?
Let’s watch it together
ask
What are the causes of stroke?
1, caused by “three highs”. When patients have high blood pressure, high blood lipids and high blood sugar in the past, the risk of stroke will be much higher than that of normal people, especially those with high blood pressure. When the seasons change, due to changes in temperature , can easily lead to changes in blood vessels. Diabetic patients will accelerate the process of arteriosclerosis, which is a boost to the occurrence of stroke, and requires special attention.
2. Vascular factors. There are many factors related to blood vessels in stroke, mainly manifested in the occurrence of thrombus in the blood vessel. When the thrombus on the blood vessel wall falls off, with the flow of blood, the thrombus may cause the blockage of the arterial blood vessels. If the blockage is a blood vessel in the brain, it is more likely to have a stroke.
3. Caused by ischemia. Ischemic stroke occurs when the brain lacks enough blood. When the viscosity of the blood increases, it will lead to a decrease in blood flow rate, which also increases the risk of ischemic stroke.
Ask
These stroke misunderstandings should be kept in mind!
1. The onset of stroke is acute without warning
Although the onset of stroke is acute, if you can notice the onset of the onset and seek medical attention in time, most strokes are can be controlled. Symptoms of stroke: sudden numbness on one side of the head, face, hands and feet; sudden unsteady walking, dizziness; sudden blurred vision; sudden inability to speak, drooling, and crooked corners of the mouth; sudden aphasia talk.
2. Stroke is a disease of middle-aged and elderly people, young people don’t need to worry about it
The incidence of stroke is not divided Gender and age, age is one of the uncontrollable risk factors for stroke. In recent years, the incidence of cerebrovascular disease has gradually become younger, and the reasons are many. Some young people’s bad living habits, such as staying up late, smoking, drinking, overwork, obesity, high-fat and high-sugar diet and other lifestyles will make strokes high in young people. Therefore, young and middle-aged people must not take it lightly.
3. Taking aspirin can prevent stroke
Aspirin medication varies from person to person. Because stroke prevention measures are comprehensive, and aspirin is only one of them. In the treatment of stroke, it is necessary to add antihypertensive, lipid-lowering, and hypoglycemic drugs according to the patient’s condition. These need to be taken under the guidance of a doctor, and must not be self-medicated or discontinued.
Ask
How to protect yourself during the alternating seasons of winter and spring?
1. Pay attention to seasonal changes and take measures to keep out the cold. The occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases is particularly high when the seasons change, especially the cold climate in early spring is the high incidence stage of stroke! Cold weather will cause peripheral vasoconstriction, increase the load on the heart, induce insufficient blood supply to the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular, and increase the risk of stroke. At this time, it is necessary to add clothes in time, wear warm clothes and hats to protect the head from cold.
2. Control “three highs”. Hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia are the most common risk factors for stroke. Adherence to taking medicines as prescribed by a doctor and controlling blood pressure, blood sugar, and lipid levels can prevent the occurrence of stroke.
3. Adhere to the correct exercise. It is very cold outdoors in the early spring. People, especially the elderly, like to stay indoors to keep warm and reduce outdoor activities, which increases the incidence of various cerebrovascular diseases. So don’t stay indoors all the time, you can exercise properly according to your personal physical condition, enhance your cardiopulmonary function, improve your own blood circulation, and promote blood vessel expansion to lower blood pressure.
4. A reasonable and healthy diet. The occurrence of cerebral stroke is directly related to atherosclerosis, thrombosis and other problems, and high-fat, high-salt, high-calorie food is the reason for accelerating atherosclerosis, and also increases the risk of hypertension and hyperlipidemia. probability.
