1. Why are there more and more patients with cerebral infarction in China?

According to statistics, the risk of stroke in Chinese adults can reach 39.3%. On average, one person in China has a stroke every 12 seconds, and one person dies of a stroke every 21 seconds on average. Stroke has become the disease with the highest disability rate and fatality rate in China, and cerebral infarction accounts for 80%-90% of stroke.

Cerebral infarction, also known as cerebral infarction, refers to a variety of reasons that cause blood circulation disorders in the brain, resulting in ischemia, hypoxia, and necrosis of local brain tissue, resulting in neurological deficit syndrome.

Patients with cerebral infarction may experience symptoms such as dizziness, slurred speech, restlessness, limb numbness, and memory loss in mild cases, or fainting, hemiplegia and disability in severe cases, and may even be fatal and life-threatening in severe cases .

The occurrence of cerebral infarction is related to unhealthy lifestyles such as sedentary, emotional agitation, smoking and alcohol abuse, obesity, and unhealthy diet , as well as diseases such as high blood pressure, fatty liver, atherosclerosis, and atrial fibrillation.

Many scientific studies have found that high blood pressure and atrial fibrillation are two major risk factors for cerebral infarction.

2. Eating too much of 4 kinds of food may cause cerebral infarction

Many patients with cerebral infarction are caused by eating. Unhealthy eating habits may be the cause of cerebral infarction. Eating too much of the following foods may cause cerebral infarction.

2. Fat meat

Fat meat contains a lot of fat and is a high-calorie food. Excessive intake may increase the chances of obesity, atherosclerosis, and even accelerate the occurrence of diseases such as cerebral infarction.

3. High-sugar drinks

Many patients will experience symptoms such as general fatigue and lethargy before the onset of cerebral infarction, which is caused by cerebral ischemia caused by narrowing of the arterial lumen, and is usually accompanied by frequent yawning and other symptoms.

3. The root of the tongue is hard

Sudden symptoms such as stiff tongue and severe headache should be alerted to cerebral infarction, which is related to abnormal facial muscles. It is best to seek medical treatment as soon as possible.

4. Vertigo

After the blood vessels in the brain harden, it will cause insufficient oxygen in the vertebrobasilar artery, which will affect the balanced nerve tissues such as the brainstem and cerebellum, leading to vertigo symptoms.

Once you find the above symptoms, you must be alert to cerebral infarction. It is recommended to call 120 in time to wait for the arrival of rescuers. It should be remembered that the earlier the first aid time for cerebral infarction, the better. The golden time for acute cerebral infarction rescue is within 3-6 hours.
