Cerebral infarction, also known as cerebral infarction, simply explains that the blood vessels in the brain are blocked, resulting in necrosis of brain tissue. It can be said that the harm of cerebral infarction is quite significant, and the most terrible thing is the occurrence of hemiplegia or even sudden death. Cerebral infarction is very high, both in terms of disability and mortality.
In addition, cerebral infarction, as one of the emergencies, will leave different degrees of sequelae to the patient's body even if it is rescued in time. During the incubation period of cerebral infarction, there may be "warning" signs of the disease in our body. If you can detect it in time and take appropriate measures, you may be able to save your own life and prevent the problem of cerebral infarction from becoming more serious. Therefore, it is of great significance to pay attention to the early warning of cerebral infarction, timely detection and measures for the prevention and treatment of cerebral infarction.
Reminder: Before cerebral infarction, the body may have these abnormal manifestations, so you should pay attention to it in time
1. Abnormalities of limbs
When a cerebral infarction occurs, the nerves are already damaged due to the blockage of blood vessels in the brain, which can lead to impaired limb movement. Patients may experience limb weakness, numbness in fingers, and stiffness in limb movements. These symptoms can also be a precursor to cerebral infarction and should be taken seriously. In addition, it may cause arm and back pain before cerebral infarction occurs, so it is important to pay attention to this problem in time.
2. Sudden appearance of visual impairment
Sudden, unexplained headache with visual abnormalities such as darkening of the eyes or blurred vision may also be closely related to the onset of cerebral infarction. Some people may also experience unilateral blurred vision, which is also an indication of occlusion of the ophthalmic artery in our carotid branches.
If blurred vision occurs in both eyes, it is a sign that our central nervous system of vision is compressed. If your vision is blurred, your mental status changes, you feel drowsiness, you can't open your eyes, or you feel very tired, it's most likely that an acute episode of cerebral infarction is the cause.
3. Frequent yawning
If you have enough rest, but you still yawn frequently, this may also be due to cerebral infarction. If you notice that you are experiencing frequent yawning problems at any time of the day, it is advisable to check your blood lipid profile as soon as possible.
This is because the blood vessels in the brain are blocked, which can lead to poor blood flow, which can cause a lack of oxygen, which may also signal to our body that there is a lack of oxygen. When the body receives this signal, it expands its lungs to provide more oxygen to our body, which in turn causes the number of yawns to increase.
4. Dizziness
Dizziness is also one of the most common symptoms before a cerebral infarction. This is due to the lack of blood supply to the brain, which causes the problem of hypoxia and ischemia, which in turn leads to the appearance of dizziness.
This type of dizziness problem usually manifests as a sudden sensation of vertigo, sometimes accompanied by symptoms such as nausea and vomiting. If dizziness occurs frequently, especially in the morning or after a long period of rest, it is likely to be one of the early manifestations of cerebral infarction.
5. Slurred speech
If you are usually able to speak fluently, but recently you feel that your tongue has become stiff when you speak, resulting in slurred pronunciation, stammering, etc., and in severe cases, you may not be able to fully express your thoughts, and even drool at night when you sleep.
Therefore, it is necessary to consider whether it is due to an abnormality of the cerebral blood vessels affecting the central nervous system of speech. In addition, some people may have a cough when drinking water or eating, as well as biting their tongue easily.
6. Weakness of legs and feet
Generally speaking, normal people may feel weakness in their legs and feet after overwork, but if there are problems such as weakness in the legs and feet or even movement disorders for no reason, it is necessary to pay more attention, because this may be a precursor to the onset of cerebral infarction, and it is best to carry out relevant examinations in time.
All in all, the most fundamental way to stay away from cerebral infarction is to maintain blood vessels, control blood pressure, blood sugar, and blood lipids in daily life, and at the same time achieve proper diet, appropriate exercise, and for people with cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension and diabetes, scientific medication should also be used to prevent cerebral infarction. At the same time, you should also pay attention to the various symptoms that appear in your body.
