Stroke is clinically known as "stroke", which is an acute cerebrovascular disease that occurs in middle-aged and elderly people, its morbidity and mortality rate are very high, even if it is lucky to survive, due to brain tissue damage, it is easy to leave sequelae, and the harm is particularly large.
However, stroke does not occur for no reason, clinically some "small diseases" if not treated in time, sustained development, may cause stroke, for these "small diseases", if you can do a good job in prevention and treatment, or reduce the occurrence of stroke.
So what "minor diseases" can trigger a stroke?
1. Hypertension
Hypertension can be described as a direct risk factor for stroke, long-term hypertension can cause atherosclerosis, the formation of thrombosis, causing blood vessel blockage, causing cerebral infarction, in addition, long-term hypertension can also lead to long-term contraction of cerebral arterioles, blood vessels hardened and brittle, due to the impact of blood, blood vessels may rupture, resulting in cerebral hemorrhage.
The higher the blood pressure, the higher the chance of stroke, so doing a good job of preventing and treating high blood pressure can reduce the occurrence of stroke.
2. Diabetes
Surveys have shown that people with diabetes have a higher risk of stroke than the average person. Diabetes can damage the endothelium of blood vessels, accelerate the formation of atherosclerosis, and can also cause blood to become viscous, affecting the normal flow of blood, so it is more likely to have local obstruction, causing stroke, and long-term hyperglycemia can also cause kidney, eye, cardiovascular, and nervous system complications.
3. High blood lipids
Hyperlipidemia is known as the "silent killer", blood lipids are too high, can lead to blood viscosity, lipid substances in the blood can be deposited in the blood vessel wall, forming plaques, with the increase of plaque, can block blood vessels, affecting the flow of blood, if the cerebral blood vessels are blocked, can induce stroke.
Stroke prevention should do the following:
1. Peace of mind
To prevent stroke, we should first learn to adjust our mentality, avoid violent fluctuations in mood, avoid fear, sadness, ecstasy and other emotions as much as possible, pay attention to maintaining emotional stability, and have an optimistic attitude towards life.
2. Exercise more
Middle-aged and elderly people usually adhere to the appropriate amount of exercise, such as walking, gymnastics and other exercises, are helpful to enhance their own physique, promote blood circulation and metabolism, for obese people, exercise can also help control weight, reduce the incidence of three highs, stroke.
3. Dietary restraint
Many people have three highs, stroke and improper diet is related, want to be healthy, diet should be controlled, eat less high-fat, high-calorie, high-salt food, pay attention to a light diet, not overeating. In addition, we must pay attention to the rules of work and rest, the combination of work and leisure, and not stay up late and be too tired.
4. Be diligent in physical examination
After entering the middle-aged and elderly, human body functions begin to decline, it is easy to have a variety of problems, so the elderly should be diligent in physical examination, especially pay attention to changes in blood glucose, blood lipids and other levels, once the body is found to have problems, timely treatment and control, to prevent stroke induced due to aggravation of the disease.
All in all, although the stroke is terrible, but will not come to the door for no reason, hypertension, high blood lipids, diabetes and other diseases are risk factors for inducing stroke, for the elderly, in daily life, if you can develop good living habits, regular physical examination, can reduce the occurrence of the above diseases, thereby effectively reducing the risk of stroke.
