1. Why are there more and more cerebral infarctions?
The occurrence of many diseases is quietly accumulated, and cerebral infarction is no exception.
Cerebral infarction, also known as ischemic stroke, refers to a local thrombosis caused by cerebral atherosclerosis, which leads to aggravation or occlusion of arterial stenosis, and causes brain tissue hypoxia, ischemia, and necrosis, which leads to neurological dysfunction. a disease.
The morbidity and mortality of cerebral infarction are high, and the habit of eating more sugar and salt is also related to the occurrence of cerebral infarction.
Excessive intake of sugar will cause the blood in the body to become sticky , the probability of blood vessels being blocked is also higher, and the risk of being targeted by cerebral infarction is higher;
Excessive intake of salt will lead to increased blood pressure in the body , poor blood vessel elasticity, increased risk of blood vessel blockage, and higher risk of cerebral infarction. Therefore, it is recommended to control the intake of sugar and salt.
2. 3 kinds of abnormal sleep, beware of cerebral infarction
Every year, many people die of cerebral infarction. The acute onset and high mortality rate of cerebral infarction always seems to come without warning. In fact, there are some signals before the onset of cerebral infarction. Vigilance is the signal of cerebral infarction.
1. Headache
If you have a headache while sleeping, you should be careful about the signal that a cerebral infarction is coming. When a person falls asleep, the brain activity decreases, the blood viscosity increases, and it is easy to cause symptoms such as clogged blood clots and headaches.
2. One-sided drooling
Unilateral drooling during sleep may be caused by central facial paralysis. It is mainly due to the blockage of blood vessels in the brain, which makes people unable to control their tongue independently, resulting in the symptoms of unilateral drooling during sleep.
3. Numbness of hands and feet
In addition to the numbness symptoms caused by the compression of the hands and feet, be careful of the distress signal issued by the cerebral infarction.
3. This position is blocked, and the risk of cerebral infarction is high
According to statistics, two-thirds of cerebral infarctions are related to carotid artery blockage. Generally, carotid atherosclerotic plaques begin to develop around the age of 15, and become obvious by the age of 40. By the age of 60, very few There is no arteriosclerotic plaque in the carotid arteries.
In fact, when the cerebral blood vessels are not completely blocked, it is generally difficult to have typical symptoms, and can only be judged by CT or MRI. At this time, the judgment can be moved forward to see if it is caused by carotid artery stenosis.
If you want to see whether the carotid artery is stenotic, you can judge it by carotid artery color Doppler ultrasound. It is recommended that patients with obesity, three highs, and people with family history of cardiovascular disease should undergo regular carotid artery color Doppler screening.
Cerebral infarction, as a major killer that threatens the health of Chinese people, is related to people's unhealthy eating habits and living habits. If you have symptoms such as headache, unilateral drooling, numbness in hands and feet, etc. while sleeping, you should be careful about the signals from cerebral infarction, and you must usually do a good job in the prevention and screening of cerebral infarction.
