Stroke is what we call stroke. It generally refers to brain damage caused by cerebrovascular blockage or rupture. It may be related to heart disease, brain disease or genetic disease. The disease has a high incidence and recurrence rate. It is also prone to disability, which seriously threatens the life and health of the patient. After the patient is ill, the main symptoms such as numbness and paralysis of the limbs. There are many risk factors for stroke, including high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, smoking, alcoholism, staying up late, etc. People who accompany these diseases or bad habits should pay close attention to their own changes, and go to the hospital for examination if they feel unwell. This article summarizes several aura symptoms of stroke. If you find that you have these symptoms, you should pay attention and seek medical attention as soon as possible.
1 5 "sudden" alert Stroke
1.1 sudden appearance of one or both eyes vision disorders
can be divided into two cases (1) a amaurosis: refers to the sudden black eyes, unable to clear vision, a few seconds Can recover by itself. This is because as the first branch of the carotid artery, the ophthalmic artery is highly sensitive to ischemia, stenosis, etc., blood flow in the brain is reduced, and tiny thrombi pass through the retinal artery, so blackout occurs. Generally speaking, amaurosis is the earliest stroke signal. (2) Transient visual impairment: manifested as blurred vision and incomplete vision, which can return to normal within 1 h. The cause of the disease is the same as that of transient amaurosis. It is due to the occlusion of the retinal arteries caused by the reduction of blood flow in the brain. At this time, the patient has not had abnormal brain nerves. Therefore, transient visual disturbance is an early signal of stroke.
1.2 sudden awareness, language and understanding barriers to
speak appear stuttering, articulation is unclear symptoms, lied, the performance of these before the onset of common symptoms, mainly because of the language center of the brain under the influence leads to arterial insufficiency language dysfunction, duration Within 24 hours.
1.3 abnormal sudden numbness, dizziness, feeling
more performance for the single-side paralysis or weakness on one side on the lower limbs, some patients will be hearing impairment and tinnitus. In addition, the patient may also experience dizziness, suddenly feel that the sky is spinning, unable to stand stably, and may faint, which is often accompanied by symptoms such as tinnitus and diplopia.
1.4 dyskinesia suddenly
there are three main performance (1) unilateral limb weakness, performance of the side face or body strength weakened, limb movements from their control, or mouth askew, unable to lift the upper limbs and other symptoms appear, can occur when walking Mopping the ground with one foot, unable to walk normally. (2) Neck twisting hand numbness, which is manifested as hand numbness and weakness of the fingers when the neck is twisted to one side, and slurred speech may occur, which will recover on its own within 1 to 2 minutes. This is because twisting the neck causes aggravation of arterial stenosis. (3) Sudden fall, the sudden loss of support and walking strength of both legs causes the patient to fall suddenly.
1.5 Sudden occurrence of headache, tongue pain, frequent yawning, nosebleeds, lethargy, coughing, changes in mental state, etc.
(1) Headache: local severe headache that is unbearable, which is related to a sudden increase in blood pressure. Therefore, elevated blood pressure can cause vasospasm, and the trigeminal nerve in addition to pain will be stimulated, causing severe headaches. Patients with this performance may have cerebral hemorrhage or subarachnoid hemorrhage.
(2) Tongue pain: The tongue is rich in blood vessels. Once the blood composition changes, the tongue can feel keenly and respond. In stroke patients, due to insufficient blood supply and microcirculation disorders, the tongue can produce certain metabolites, the tongue nerve is stimulated, and tongue pain occurs.
(3) Frequent yawning: cerebrovascular sclerosis can cause the brain to be in a state of ischemia and hypoxia, which is manifested as frequent yawning.
(4) Nasal bleeding: As the nasal mucosa of the elderly shrinks, the fragility of capillaries increases. Once the blood pressure rises, it can cause nose bleeding.
(5) Drowsiness: unexplained drowsiness in middle-aged and elderly people is a sign of stroke;
(6) Coughing: cerebral ischemia can damage the swallowing nerve and cause food and water to enter the trachea by mistake. The external manifestation is that the patient eats or drinks. Coughing when watering.
(7) Changes in mental status: Cerebral ischemia can cause transient mental decline or personality changes in patients, and may become irritable or reticent.
2 Prevention of stroke
2.1 Maintain emotional stability
Emotional ups and downs may lead to stroke, so patients should try to maintain a relaxed and happy mental state. Excitement, anger, and compassion can all induce stroke.
2.2 prevent constipation and
constipation may lead to intra-abdominal pressure, caused a sudden rise in blood pressure, cerebral artery rupture occurs therefore, lead to stroke. It is recommended that patients should keep their diet as light as possible, eat more fruits and vegetables, and less spicy and greasy foods. They can also exercise properly to prevent constipation and become a habit of defecation every day.
2.3 diet
consumption of animal fats can cause elevated blood lipids, resulting in atherosclerosis, stroke-induced; excessive salt can cause sodium retention, high blood pressure, can trigger stroke.
2.4 diet for 7 minutes full
diet fed in the stomach can result in large amounts of blood concentration, reducing heart and brain blood vessels, induced by stroke.
2.5 moderate exercise
may be more than shadow boxing, jump square dance or go for a walk, appropriate exercise can help enhance physical fitness, play a role in the prevention of stroke in certain extent.
3 Summary
In summary, if the above symptoms should go to hospital, prescribed treatment, can effectively control the disease, delay its progression. Once the patient becomes ill, he should call the emergency number 120 quickly, and try to be sent to the hospital for professional treatment within 1 hour of the onset. In addition, it is necessary to cultivate healthy lifestyle habits in daily life, prevent stroke as much as possible, eliminate stroke risk factors, treat hypertension, control weight, quit smoking and alcohol, and prevent the occurrence of cerebrovascular diseases as prescribed by doctors.
