According to relevant data, cerebral infarction accounts for 80% of all strokes, and its harmfulness cannot be ignored. In recent years, with the development of people's bad eating habits, the incidence and mortality of cerebral infarction have also shown a significant upward trend, and the sick population tends to become younger. Cerebral infarction generally occurs suddenly. If the patient does not receive scientific and effective treatment within 6 hours, many sequelae will be left.
1. Blurred vision
Generally, patients with cerebral infarction will have obvious vision loss in the early stage. Sometimes the patient's vision is blurred or blind. The duration can be as short as a few minutes and can return to normal, and some patients may even last for more than ten minutes. This condition is mainly caused by retinal disorders caused by insufficient blood and oxygen supply to the brain. After symptomatic treatment, symptoms will be greatly improved.
2. Limb weakness
Some patients will experience headache, nausea, and vomiting without obvious triggers. There are also patients who suddenly experience dizziness, unsteady gait, limb weakness, incontinence of urine and feces, or even fall to the ground for unknown reasons. These are the more obvious early symptoms of cerebral infarction.
3. Aphasia, drooling
When our brain is ischemic and hypoxic due to various reasons, it will lead to neurological abnormalities. At this time, patients with cerebral infarction have trouble speaking. Patients with serious conditions can only worry in their hearts, but they can't speak. There are also patients who are prone to choking when drinking water, have difficulty swallowing, and drool constantly while sleeping.
These bad habits increase the incidence of cerebral infarction
1. Three high-income people
Generally, people with high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia have a much higher chance of cerebral infarction than ordinary people. This is mainly because patients often eat foods with excessive amounts of salt, and these salts stay in us for a long time. In the body, it easily stimulates blood vessels, accelerates arteriosclerosis, and increases the chance of cerebral infarction.
2. Improper diet
With the improvement of living standards, people have more and more demands for food. The traditional single taste can no longer meet the needs, and most people prefer the trend of diversification. Sometimes there are too many salty, too oily, and too sweet foods on the table, and if they enter our body for a long time, it can easily lead to an increase in fat content in the body and an increase in triglyceride content, thereby accelerating the aging of blood vessels and causing cerebral infarction. It is recommended that patients eat less greasy, salty or pickled foods and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits.
3. Bad living habits
Nowadays, the pace of life is fast, and many people are not only under high pressure for a long time, but also often stay up late and work overtime, which greatly increases the probability of cerebral infarction . Because such a lifestyle can easily put the body in a state of stress, causing blood pressure to rise and causing abnormal contraction of blood vessels. Therefore, it is recommended that patients go outdoors more often, strengthen physical exercise, and maintain a happy mood.
The following factors are the main causes of cerebral infarction . There are many causes of cerebral infarction, including congenital genetic factors and acquired factors. Generally, the incidence rate of patients with a family genetic history is significantly higher than that of other people; acquired factors are mainly caused by lesions in blood vessels due to various reasons, such as narrowing or destruction of blood vessel diameters, formation of atherosclerotic plaques, resulting in blood flow Not smooth, causing a series of symptoms. According to clinical statistics, more than 60% of ischemic strokes are caused by carotid artery stenosis. Severe strokes can lead to disability or even death. The carotid artery is the main channel that supplies blood to the brain. When the blood vessel wall is damaged, carotid artery plaque will form and block the blood vessel cavity, causing carotid artery stenosis.
In addition, cerebral infarction and moyamoya disease are also inseparable. Cerebral infarction is one of the symptoms of moyamoya disease. Generally, patients with cerebral infarction have a high chance of developing moyamoya disease. Moyamoya disease is named after the chronic progressive stenosis or occlusion of the main branch vessels on both sides of the cerebral arterial ring, causing the cerebral angiography image to appear like smoke. The clinical symptoms of moyamoya disease are complex and diverse, with cerebral ischemia and cerebral hemorrhage being common. There are two main categories of people with high incidence of this disease, one is children under 10 years old, and the other is adults over 40 years old. Although moyamoya disease is a rare disease, its harm is very serious. It can range from disabling in mild cases to fatal in severe cases.
Therefore, when the above related symptoms appear, it is recommended to go to the hospital for CT, MRI and other examinations in time. After the diagnosis of cerebral infarction is made, if the cause is unclear, further detailed examination can be carried out, and scientific treatment measures can be taken under the advice of professional doctors in regular hospitals.
