Wang Dawei is a retired teacher, and lately he has been feeling dizzy and a little unsteady when walking.
The family was very worried and advised him to go to the hospital for a check-up. Wang Dawei didn't think about it at first, feeling that his body had always been tough and there would be no major problems.
But at the urging of his family, he decided to go to the hospital.
After arriving at the hospital, the doctor carefully inquired about Wang Dawei's medical history and symptoms, and arranged for him to have a series of examinations, including head CT and blood pressure monitoring.
During the examination, Wang Dawei seemed a little nervous, and he kept asking the doctor if he would have any serious problems. The doctor reassured him that everything should be subject to the results of the examination and not to worry too much.
After the results of the examination came out, the doctor told Wang Dawei with a solemn expression that he had multiple tiny hemorrhage spots in his brain, which were a precursor to cerebral hemorrhage.
Hearing the news, Wang Dawei felt dizzy, and he couldn't believe that he could get this disease.
Doctors explained that cerebral hemorrhage is a very dangerous disease with an increasing incidence in the elderly population.
He asked Wang Dawei whether he had the habit of smoking and drinking too much, and whether his diet was salty. Wang Dawei was embarrassed to admit that he never left his cigarettes and alcohol, and he always liked heavy flavors in his meals.
The doctor sighed and said, "Smoking, alcohol abuse and a high-salt diet are the three major 'culprits' that cause cerebral hemorrhage."
Smoking will make the blood vessel wall brittle and increase the risk of cerebral hemorrhage, long-term heavy alcohol consumption will increase blood pressure and increase the burden on the cerebrovascular system, and high-salt diet is the main culprit of hypertension, which can easily cause cerebral hemorrhage. "
Wang Dawei listened to the doctor's words and felt very uncomfortable. He remembered that in recent years, many old friends around him have died of cerebral hemorrhage, and some are even very young.
Among them, some of them never leave their cigarettes, some of them drink an amazing amount of alcohol, and some of them are so salty that they all end up regretful.
The doctor warned Wang Dawei that if he didn't get rid of these bad habits, his life would be in danger at any time.
He advised Wang Dawei to immediately quit smoking, limit alcohol, eat less high-salt food, control weight, exercise more, and maintain a happy mood, so as to minimize the risk of cerebral hemorrhage.
Wang Dawei realized the seriousness of the problem and immediately said that he would follow the doctor's advice and get rid of those bad habits. He secretly made up his mind that he must take good care of his body and enjoy his old age in peace.
According to statistics, there are about 1 million new cases of cerebral hemorrhage in mainland China every year, with a mortality rate of 40% and a disability rate of 75%.
In the elderly population, cerebral hemorrhage has become the leading cause of death.
In addition to smoking, alcoholism, and high-salt diet, chronic diseases such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes are also high-risk factors for intracerebral hemorrhage.
Many people always feel that cerebral hemorrhage is far away from them, and the tragedy that happens to others has nothing to do with them.
But in fact, every one of us has the potential to be a victim of a cerebral hemorrhage. To prevent cerebral hemorrhage, it is urgent to start by changing bad habits.
The doctor told Wang Dawei that the following points should be paid attention to to prevent cerebral hemorrhage: first, regularly monitor blood pressure to control blood pressure within the normal range;
The second is to eat a reasonable diet, eat more vegetables and fruits, and eat less animal fat and high-salt foods;
the third is moderate exercise, insisting on 30 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise every day;
Fourth, quit smoking and limit alcohol, tobacco and alcohol are the enemy of health, we must stay away; fifth, keep a happy mood and avoid excessive tension and anxiety.
Wang Dawei listened to the doctor's advice and felt suddenly enlightened. He feels that these measures are not difficult to achieve, and the key is to be determined and persistent.
He thought of his old friends who died young due to cerebral hemorrhage, and his heart was full of regret and regret.
He secretly warned himself that he must take them as a warning, live well, and live up to this hard-won life.
As an MD, I've seen too many tragedies of brain hemorrhages that have taken their lives.
I sincerely appeal to everyone, especially the middle-aged and elderly, to be vigilant against the dangers of cerebral hemorrhage, raise awareness of prevention, and develop a healthy lifestyle.
Like Wang Dawei, we should wake up in time, make up our minds to quit smoking and limit alcohol, eat less and eat less salt, keep our mouths shut, open our legs, and do a good job in the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases.
There is only one life, and we must know how to cherish it. Let's start from now, start from ourselves, start from the small things around us, and take care of the health of ourselves and our families with practical actions.
Prevention is better than cure, let's work together to stay away from cerebral hemorrhage and create a better future!
