Diabetes has become a common disease, but because it is difficult to control by drugs alone, many diabetics are difficult to control blood sugar for a long time, so patients with a history of diabetes for more than 10 years will often have some chronic complications.
Diabetic cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease is an important cause of death in diabetic patients.
A signal of diabetic cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease
Abnormal blood pressure, accompanied by dizziness and headache
Diabetic patients due to blood viscous blood, will affect the blood circulation, resulting in abnormal blood pressure, in addition to blood pressure increase should also pay attention to from the recumbent position to the vertical position when the blood pressure suddenly changes, the emergence of orthostatic hypotension.
Whether it is elevated blood pressure or orthostatic hypotension for diabetic patients, it is a signal that leads to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, especially when dizziness, dizziness, headaches and other conditions often occur, be sure to go to the hospital in time to check it.
Chest tightness chest pain, difficulty breathing
In general, if diabetes has cardiovascular and cerebrovascular lesions, it will affect heart function, and abnormal conditions such as chest tightness, chest pain or breathing difficulties when exerting.
Of course, the symptoms are generally not so obvious in the early stages, and they will appear when they are sleeping or when they are too tired, and it is also necessary to check the heart function in time to avoid aggravation.
Memory is reduced, one limb is inflexible
Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases of diabetes will affect the nerves of the brain, which will affect people's memory and intelligence, resulting in some abnormal behaviors.
However, with age, most elderly people will also have memory decline, so it cannot be judged by this.
However, if it is accompanied by inflexibility of one limb, grasping weakness or numbness, intermittent claudication and other abnormalities, it is likely that there are cardiovascular and cerebrovascular lesions, and it is necessary to go to the hospital to check and confirm the diagnosis at this time.
Palpitations, abnormal heart rhythm
Generally speaking, normal people only have a heart rate acceleration when exercising, but if there is cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, and at the same time, there will be abnormal conditions such as heart rate acceleration and palpitations when sitting quietly, which is likely to be the manifestation of heart disease.
And diabetics will affect blood flow due to elevated blood sugar, thereby increasing the burden on the heart.
Therefore, when this situation occurs, it is necessary to check the electrocardiogram and cardiac ultrasound to clarify the condition.
The incidence of diabetic cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease is much higher than that of normal people, and it is also an important cause of death in diabetic patients.
In addition to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes can also be complicated by many other diseases, so it is necessary to check regularly.
