Is cerebral infarction dragged out? Be vigilant: If there are 5 phenomena in sleep, please pay attention to it

Introduction: Cerebral infarction, also known as ischemic stroke, is a disease caused by the sudden blockage of blood vessels in the brain, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the brain, which in turn leads to ischemia and hypoxic necrosis of brain tissue.

This stubborn disease is characterized by high morbidity, high mortality and severe disability rate, and threatens human life and health at all times.

In recent years, the incidence of cerebral infarction has been increasing year by year, and it is showing a trend of younger people, which has aroused widespread concern in the society.

This article will provide an in-depth analysis of the causes of cerebral infarction, reveal five warning signs during sleep, and provide a series of practical preventive measures to help you better understand and prevent cerebral infarction.

Why do I have a cerebral infarction?

The occurrence of cerebral infarction is mainly due to the disorder of blood supply to the brain, which leads to ischemia and hypoxia of brain tissue and necrosis. Its pathogenesis is complex and involves a variety of factors, including hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, atherosclerosis, etc. These factors can lead to intravascular thrombosis or embolism in the cerebral vessels, resulting in cerebral infarction.

Specifically, high blood pressure can lead to increased pressure in the blood vessels, damage vascular endothelial cells, and accelerate the formation of atherosclerosis, while hyperlipidemia can increase the lipid content in the blood, forming arterial plaques and blocking blood vessels.

Diabetes mellitus causes vascular lesions, narrowing and hardening of blood vessels, and atherosclerosis is one of the most common causes of cerebral infarction.

In addition, some bad Xi habits are also high risk factors for cerebral infarction. For example, long-term smoking, alcohol consumption, lack of exercise, unhealthy diet, etc., may increase the risk of cerebral infarction.

Therefore, the prevention of cerebral infarction needs to start from many aspects, including controlling underlying diseases such as blood pressure, blood lipids, and blood sugar, changing unhealthy Xi lifestyle habits, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

In conclusion, cerebral infarction is a common cerebrovascular disease, and its occurrence is related to a variety of factors. In order to prevent cerebral infarction, we need to pay attention to our health and actively take measures to control related diseases and improve our Xi habits. Only in this way can we effectively reduce the risk of cerebral infarction and maintain good health.

Is the cerebral infarction dragged out?

Cerebral infarction, also known as ischemic stroke, is the necrosis or softening of brain tissue due to blood supply disorders to the brain, ischemia and hypoxia.

First of all, the formation of cerebral infarction does not happen overnight. It is usually based on atherosclerosis, due to increased blood viscosity, slower blood flow or thrombosis, etc., resulting in blockage of blood vessels in the brain, resulting in ischemia, hypoxia, and eventually necrosis or softening. This process usually takes years or even decades.

Secondly, chronic diseases such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes are important risk factors for cerebral infarction. These diseases may have no obvious symptoms in the early stage, but if they are not treated and controlled for a long time, they will lead to vascular damage, atherosclerosis and other lesions, and increase the risk of cerebral infarction.

In addition, unhealthy lifestyle is also one of the important causes of cerebral infarction. Smoking, drinking, lack of exercise, unhealthy diet and other bad Xi will make the body in a sub-healthy state and increase the risk of cerebral infarction.

To sum up, cerebral infarction is "dragged out" to a certain extent. Long-term chronic diseases such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and unhealthy lifestyle can increase the risk of cerebral infarction.

Therefore, we should actively treat and control chronic diseases, maintain a healthy lifestyle, and prevent the occurrence of cerebral infarction.

During sleep, if something unusual happens to your body, it may be that your body is sending us warning signs. In particular, we need to be vigilant against the following five phenomena:

1. Headache: If you suddenly feel a severe headache during sleep, especially accompanied by nausea, vomiting and other symptoms, this may be a precursor to cerebral infarction. This is due to an increase in intracranial pressure due to blockage of blood vessels in the brain, which is a very dangerous symptom that requires immediate medical attention.

2. Insomnia and dreams: Patients with cerebral infarction may have nervous system dysfunction due to insufficient blood supply to the brain, which is manifested as insomnia, dreams, easy waking up and other symptoms. If your sleep quality continues to decline, you may want to take care of your cerebrovascular health.

3. Drooling: If you drool at the corner of your mouth while sleeping, it may be caused by facial muscle weakness caused by cerebral infarction. This phenomenon is especially common among the elderly and needs our attention.

4. Numbness of hands and feet: Patients with cerebral infarction may experience symptoms such as numbness and weakness of hands and feet while sleeping. This is due to the blockage of cerebral blood vessels, which leads to ischemia and hypoxia of the corresponding brain tissue, which in turn affects the nerve conduction function. If numbness in your hands and feet continues to get worse, it may mean that a cerebral infarction is progressing and you need to see a doctor promptly.

5. Unclear speech: If you find that you have slurred speech and difficulty in expressing yourself when you sleep or wake up, it may be caused by cerebral infarction affecting the language center. This phenomenon is often accompanied by symptoms such as crooked corners of the mouth and difficulty swallowing, which is a serious warning sign that requires immediate medical attention.

The above five phenomena are not specific manifestations of cerebral infarction and may also be related to other diseases. However, if we find that these symptoms occur while sleeping, especially if the symptoms continue to worsen or occur frequently, we need to be highly vigilant and seek medical examination in time to rule out the possibility of cerebral infarction. Staying vigilant and paying attention to your physical condition can better prevent and treat diseases such as cerebral infarction.

How to prevent cerebral infarction?

Prevention of cerebral infarction requires a multi-faceted approach, including controlling risk factors, adjusting diet and Xi habits, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Control risk factors

High blood pressure, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia are all risk factors for cerebral infarction, so it is necessary to regularly monitor and control these indicators to keep them within the normal range. At the same time, quitting smoking and limiting alcohol is also one of the important measures to prevent cerebral infarction.

Adjust your diet and Xi routine

The diet should be low in salt, fat and sugar, and eat more vegetables, fruits and whole grains rich in dietary fiber, as well as moderate amounts of protein and fat. In terms of work and rest, you should maintain a regular schedule, ensure adequate sleep time and quality, and avoid overwork and staying up late.

Maintain a healthy lifestyle

Moderate exercise can improve cardiopulmonary function, promote blood circulation, reduce blood viscosity, and thus prevent the occurrence of cerebral infarction. At the same time, maintaining a good state of mind and emotional state and avoiding excessive anxiety and depression are also one of the important measures to prevent cerebral infarction.

In conclusion, preventing cerebral infarction requires a multi-faceted approach, including controlling risk factors, adjusting diet and Xi habits, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Only in this way can we effectively reduce the risk of cerebral infarction and protect brain health.
