Thrombosis is coming, hands and feet prophet? Reminder: If there are 3 kinds of abnormalities in the hands and feet, maybe the blood clot has come

Do you know which are the top three deadly cardiovascular diseases in the world? The answer is myocardial infarction, stroke, and venous thromboembolism, and these diseases are inseparable from thrombus. Thrombosis in blood vessels is like a "time bomb" that poses a security threat.

1. A 25-year-old man’s legs were swollen and painful for four days, and he was in danger of amputation

The 25-year-old Xiaoquan was admitted to the hospital half a month ago due to nephritis. During this period, he used hormone drugs. After returning home from the hospital, Xiaoquan seldom did any activities. He always sat in front of the computer for a long time and played games .

Three days after he was discharged from the hospital, his legs swelled , but Xiaoquan didn't care.

Until the situation became more serious, Xiaoquan rushed to the hospital for treatment, but the color ultrasound results showed that Xiaoquan had multiple deep vein thrombosis in his lower limbs, and he needed to be transferred to a higher-level hospital for treatment immediately.

Xiaoquan's shortness of breath and rapid heart rate when he was admitted to the hospital. The symptoms of chest tightness and chest pain suggested that he had a pulmonary embolism problem. The subsequent test results showed ketoacidosis, and his blood potassium reached 7.2mmol/l . He was in danger of cardiac arrest at any time .

After more than ten hours of rescue by doctors, Xiaoquan's vital signs gradually recovered. After thrombolysis and thrombus suction, most of the thrombus disappeared, and Xiaoquan's lower limb swelling symptoms also eased after the operation.

But on the first day after the operation, Xiaoquan found that his right calf was unbearably swollen again . The doctor suspected it was osteofascial compartment syndrome, and immediately performed a deep vein incision and decompression operation on his right calf, which saved Xiaoquan from amputation and allowed him to recover. Normal life.

2. When the thrombus comes, the limbs will ventilate the message

Thrombosis mainly includes arterial thrombosis and venous thrombosis. The root cause of myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction is arterial thrombosis, and venous thrombosis is the third invisible killer of cardiovascular diseases. 99% of them have no symptoms.

If you find any discomfort or abnormality in your body and limbs in your life, you should pay attention to it:

①Thrombotic leg swelling

The formation of venous thrombosis in the lower extremities often affects the normal return of venous blood, which in turn increases the pressure in the vein, and causes the fluid in the blood vessel to seep into the subcutaneous layer and cause stasis, resulting in thrombotic leg swelling. Thromboedema is sudden , usually the healthy leg is normal and the affected leg is hard, swollen and painful, and the symptoms are aggravated after exercise.

②Heat and redness of limbs

Due to the formation of venous thrombosis, the blood flow from the limbs to the heart decreases, the pressure in the veins continues to increase, and the body fluid in the blood vessels will also penetrate into other tissues, causing abnormal redness and heat in the limbs.

③Weakness and numbness of hands and feet

Venous thrombosis affects blood flow, leading to blood stasis in the lower limbs, causing sudden weakness in the hands and feet or inability to move the legs. Sometimes walking will be missed, and numbness of the upper and lower limbs or tongue may also occur.

3. What should be paid attention to when taking aspirin for prevention?

Aspirin is currently a relatively common first-line antithrombotic drug. Its main function is to help inhibit the aggregation of platelets, and at the same time weaken the body's blood coagulation function and reduce the formation of thrombus in the body.

At first, aspirin was mainly used as an antipyretic and analgesic, until scholars discovered its antithrombotic effect, and the adverse reactions of aspirin were also discovered, such as damage to the digestive tract mucosa.

Pharmacist Huazi said that high-risk patients who have experienced myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction, and the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in the past ten years are higher than 10%. It is recommended that these three types of patients still need to take aspirin for a long time. means of preventive treatment.

China has recommended antiplatelet drugs for the primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular diseases. Huo Yong, director of the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine of Peking University First Hospital , said that primary prevention means that patients have not been diagnosed with heart disease, but there is a risk of developing it. Under the guidance of the standard use of aspirin prevention.

Of course, there are also people who are contraindicated in taking medicine:

Children should not take aspirin to avoid causing Reye's syndrome; aspirin can irritate the stomach and cause gastric damage, patients with gastric ulcer should also avoid taking it, and people who are allergic to aspirin or may induce asthma should also avoid using aspirin.

4. A variety of foods are known as "natural aspirin", you can eat more

In the daily diet, some foods, such as fungus, ginger, green tea, onion and garlic, can be like "natural aspirin" , which can help clean blood vessels.

Of course, in order to prevent the formation of thrombus, we also need to exercise moderately , and we recommend that you keep walking.

At the same time, it is also necessary to get rid of bad living habits , do not stay up late, do not smoke or drink, and maintain a happy mood. Friends with chronic diseases should also actively take medicine under the guidance of a doctor. medicine.

The symptoms of thrombosis are not obvious, but they are very dangerous when they attack. They are well-deserved "invisible killers". You should avoid sitting for a long time. If you have abnormal symptoms in your limbs, you should pay attention to them.
