On the evening of April 8, 36-year-old former LOL professional player and game anchor Sun Yalong was diagnosed with stroke, and related topics rushed to the top of the hot search.
A few days ago, Sun Yalong entered the hospital rescue room due to physical discomfort, and on the afternoon of April 8, he revealed his condition again: he was diagnosed with a stroke. Sun Yalong said: "The doctor told me that I must be hospitalized immediately! The doctor said that my disease was all caused by people over 50 years old, and I had it outrageously, probably because of excessive fatigue, often staying up late, and exhaustion. ”
Sun Yalong said that his sleep time is similar to that of night shift workers, but he is often called up to deal with things during the day, and his sleep quality is poor, so he can't sleep when he comes together.
On April 6, Sun Yalong posted on Weibo that his eyes were ghosted, and the left side of his tongue was numb, which was the first time he encountered such a situation. He was also admitted to the hospital emergency room.
Many netizens sighed: I had a stroke at such a young age.
Cerebrovascular epidemiological data show that the lifetime risk of stroke (stroke) is 24.9% globally for people over 25 years of age, and nearly 40% in mainland China.
Stroke, also known as stroke, has a high incidence, disability rate, high mortality rate, and heavy economic burden, which makes many people talk about "wind" discoloration.
There is a clear trend of stroke at a younger age
Stroke is not exclusive to the elderly and can occur at any age. The younger generation of stroke is a global trend, especially in mainland China.
(1) Mental stress problem: Young people are in a state of stress due to stress leading to bad mood, which is one of the risk factors for stroke.
(2) Unhealthy lifestyle such as staying up late, irregular diet, lack of exercise, excessive alcohol consumption, smoking, etc.
According to the data, 9.77% of people under the age of 35 have strokes, and 10%-14% of people under the age of 45 have strokes.
This means that the first batch of post-90s generations are already a group with a high incidence of stroke, and stroke is really no longer a "geriatric disease".
Before a stroke, the body will "alarm"
The brain is the general headquarters of the human body, and it is responsible for various functions such as sensation, movement, language, and memory.
A stroke is damage to brain tissue caused by a blockage of a blood vessel in the brain that causes cerebral ischemia (cerebral infarction) or a sudden rupture of a blood vessel and bleeding (intracerebral hemorrhage).
In layman's terms, it means that the cerebral blood vessels are broken and blocked.
Some brain functions may "go wrong" before the onset of a stroke, and a person should be considered if they suddenly develop any of the following symptoms:
- weakness or numbness of one limb (with or without the face);
- numbness of one side of the face or crooked corners of the mouth;
- slurred speech or difficulty understanding language;
- Eyes gaze to one side;
- loss or blurring of vision in one or both eyes;
- dizziness with vomiting;
- Severe headache and vomiting, which were rare in the past;
- Impaired consciousness or convulsions.
A stroke is not sudden, but has been planned for a long time.
There are many warning signs before the onset of stroke, so early identification and early medical attention are keys.
How to quickly identify a stroke?
Studies have shown that 1.9 million nerve cells die for every 1 minute of delay in treatment in stroke patients, and the damage to brain nerve cells caused by delayed treatment is irreversible.
Therefore, the treatment of stroke is a "race between the brain and time".
How can I prevent a stroke?
The prevention of stroke should focus on the "four cornerstones of health" such as reasonable diet, moderate exercise, quitting smoking and limiting alcohol, and psychological balance.
Stroke can be effectively prevented and treated by developing a healthy lifestyle and regularly screening for stroke risk factors, so as to achieve early prevention, early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment.
(1) Pay attention to daily life behaviors
- a light diet;
- moderate enhancement of physical activity;
- Overcome bad habits, such as quitting smoking, limiting alcohol, avoiding sedentary lifestyles, etc.;
- Prevent overwork;
- Be mindful of climate change;
- Keep your emotions calm;
- Conduct regular health check-ups to detect problems and prevent them early.
(2) Patients with related diseases should pay special attention
- Patients with hypertension should pay attention to controlling blood pressure and insist on taking antihypertensive drugs;
- Patients with hyperlipidemia should pay attention to controlling cholesterol, triglycerides, and low-density lipoprotein, and insist on taking hypolipidemic drugs;
- Diabetic patients and high-risk groups should actively control blood sugar;
- People with atrial fibrillation or other heart conditions should have heart disease-related risk factors controlled.
Stroke is an acute, chronic disease.
The Lancet and the American College of Cardiology both say that 90% of strokes are caused by risk factors, and controlling risk factors can prevent strokes:
