Cerebral infarction is a very common cerebrovascular disease in the clinic, with a high rate of death and disability.
In the acute stage of cerebral infarction, patients can die due to factors such as epilepsy pneumonia, stress ulcers, etc. Even in the recovery period, there are many patients who can have different sequelae, such as hemiplegia, aphasia, etc., which can lead to life inability to take care of themselves when serious, which not only affects their own quality of life, but also brings a huge mental and economic burden to the family.
So, in which age group does cerebral infarction occur more often? What are the symptoms of a cerebral infarction attack?
In what age group does cerebral infarction generally occur?
Experts said that although cerebral infarction can occur in people of any age, it is mainly in middle-aged and elderly patients, that is, the age of onset is concentrated in people aged 50 to 70 years.
This is because people in this age group have a sharp decline in physical fitness, more likely to suffer from high blood lipids, diabetes, high blood pressure and other diseases, coupled with the influence of smoking, obesity and other factors, it is easier to form arteriosclerosis, resulting in cerebral infarction.
What are the symptoms of a cerebral infarction attack?
1. Sudden dizziness
This is a very common sign of cerebral infarction, and symptoms of dizziness tend to occur when waking up in the morning, as well as excessive fatigue or after bathing.
If you have high blood pressure, the symptoms of vertigo occur repeatedly in 1 to 2 days, more than 5 times, and you should go to the hospital for examination in time to avoid danger due to cerebral hemorrhage or cerebral infarction.
2, tired, often yawn
There are many causes of fatigue, such as lack of sleep, overwork, etc., in addition, cerebral infarction patients can also have this symptom.
Cerebral infarction patients due to cerebral ischemia, lack of oxygen, resulting in the body into a semi-shock state, can appear tired, frequent yawning symptoms, even if sleep is sufficient, during the day is always drowsy, middle-aged and elderly people appear this phenomenon should also be paid attention to.
3. Language barrier
Healthy people's tongue is soft and flexible, and the language is very fluent, but if there is a hard tongue root, slurred language, unfavorable speech and other manifestations, you should be vigilant about the occurrence of cerebral infarction.
Patients with cerebral infarction can cause these symptoms due to insufficient blood supply to the cerebral arteries, which can lead to the development of language centers in the cerebral cortex.
The occurrence of cerebral infarction is mostly related to improper diet, do not want to suffer from cerebral infarction, the following 3 foods should be eaten less:
1. High-salt foods
Excessive intake of high-salt foods can lead to excessive sodium content in the body and induce hypertension, while persistent hypertension can make the blood vessel wall hard and brittle, inducing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
In order to prevent cerebral infarction, eat less salty foods such as pickles and bacon every day, and pay attention to a light diet.
2. High sugar food
Experts have found that a long-term high-sugar diet can increase the risk of death, and eating high-sugar foods every day has a 35% higher chance of cerebral infarction and myocardial infarction than the average person.
3. Fried food
Food is more crispy and delicious after frying, but this type of food is very bad for blood vessel health, long-term intake, can lead to high blood lipids, blood becomes viscous, the formation of blood clots, thereby increasing the risk of cerebral infarction.
Cerebral infarction mainly occurs in the elderly population, the older the age, the higher the probability of occurrence, for the elderly, in addition to the usual control of diet, regular exercise, protection of blood vessels, but also pay more attention to their health status.
In particular, pay attention to blood pressure, blood lipids and other indicators, if it is a group of people with high blood pressure and hyperlipidemia, once there is dizziness, frequent yawning, language impairment, etc., it is likely to be a signal of cerebral infarction, and it should be paid special attention to and timely medical treatment.
