A stroke is also called an encephalopathy. During a stroke, brain cells die as a result of a blood clot or rupture of a blood vessel in the brain. The end result is brain damage (and possible death).
One: Stroke symptoms
1. Sudden numbness or weakness in the face, arms, or legs, especially on one side of the body.
2. Sudden confusion, speaking or Difficulty understanding.
3. Sudden blindness in one or both eyes.
4, sudden difficulty walking, dizziness, Loss of balance or coordination.
5, sudden severe headache, unknown reason.
Two: Reason
Most strokes are caused by blood clots in the arteries of the neck or brain. Some are caused by bleeding in or around the brain.
Three: Risk factors for stroke
Transient ischemic attack (TIA). This is a temporary lack of blood supply to the brain. In a transient ischemic attack (TIA), stroke symptoms may appear for a short period of time and then disappear. A transient ischemic attack (TIA) is a warning of a possible stroke.
Four: First Aid Before First Aid
Note the time when the first symptoms of stroke appeared. Report to emergency personnel this time. For the most common type of stroke, antithrombotic drugs should be taken within 3 hours of symptoms starting. Do not give this person anything to eat or drink. Do not take aspirin.
Five: Prevention
Take medications as prescribed (eg, medications to control blood pressure, blood cholesterol, diabetes, and atrial fibrillation). Start and maintain a healthy weight. Exercise regularly. do not smoke. If you smoke, quit smoking. Drink in moderation. Manage stress.
Six: The lower the hemoglobin, the higher the risk of stroke (China Industrial Network Information)
Hemoglobin, also known as hemoglobin, has important functions such as carrying oxygen. Recently, a study published in the Japanese Journal of Epidemiology by the Community Medical Center of Japan Autonomous Medical University and the Graduate School of Saitama Prefectural University showed that the concentration of hemoglobin is associated with the incidence of stroke.
The research team took 12,490 subjects without a history of stroke as the object and divided them into four groups according to the concentration of hemoglobin from low to high, with an average of 10.8 year tracking. The results showed that the risk of stroke was the most significant in the lowest concentration group, and the risk of the other three groups was 36%, 20%, and 16%, showing an inverse relationship. The higher the concentration, the lower the risk. The results of the stroke subtype analysis showed that the risk of subarachnoid hemorrhage in the first group (the lowest concentration group) was increased by 2.61 times compared with the second group.
Researchers believe that low hemoglobin concentrations are associated with associated with an increased risk of stroke, which is strongly influenced by the incidence of subarachnoid hemorrhage.
