A few days ago, Aunt Wang suddenly couldn't speak clearly, as if her tongue couldn't roll out. Aunt Wang, who pays attention to health care, thinks this is the "feedback signal" of the body, so she asked her son to send herself to the hospital for examination and CT scan. The doctor initially diagnosed cerebral thrombosis, and her blood pressure reached 172 or above!
The doctor said, fortunately, it came in time, and the situation improved a lot after drug treatment cleared the blood vessels. But it needs to be observed for a few more days, especially to pay attention to some small "changes" in the body.
In fact, cerebral thrombosis is only a form of cerebral vascular occlusion. Generally speaking, it is a blood clot that blocks the blood vessels. This happens mostly after the age of 50, with slightly more men than women.
So, what is the cause of cerebral thrombosis?
First, vascular diseases.
Atherosclerosis is the most important and common vascular disease, followed by cerebral arteriosclerosis with hypertension.
Second, hemodynamic changes.
The change of blood pressure is an important factor affecting the local blood volume of the brain. Due to pathological changes of blood vessels, lumen stenosis and failure of automatic regulation, the blood supply of local brain tissue can be hindered.
Third, changes in blood composition.
The rough intima of vascular disease makes platelets in blood easy to attach, accumulate and release more neutralizing substances such as serotonin. The increase of lipoprotein, cholesterol and fibrinogen in blood components can increase blood viscosity and slow blood flow.
Five signals indicate that cerebral vascular occlusion is a precursor of cerebral thrombosis, and early detection can save lives.
Symptom 1: Speak slowly or drool.
Symptom 2: Sudden dizziness. Vertigo is a common symptom of cerebral thrombosis, which can occur at any time, especially in patients with hypertension.
Symptom 3: Things with unstable hands often fall to the ground.
Symptom 4: Sudden and severe headache.
Symptom 5: Sudden and transient blindness or blurred vision.
When the above symptoms appear, you must not be careless, even if some symptoms will recover soon. You should also seek medical treatment as soon as possible to avoid delaying treatment.
In daily life, how to prevent cerebral thrombosis?
1, pay attention to the weather change, quit smoking and drinking.
Old people's ability to adapt to the weather is weakened. Too cold and too hot will increase blood viscosity and induce stroke. Therefore, we must always pay attention to the weather changes and change clothes at any time. Secondly, quitting smoking and drinking is also very important for the prevention of cerebral thrombosis.
2. The posture changes slowly.
Cerebral thrombosis often occurs at night, especially when going to the toilet. Because the blood flow itself is slow at night and the posture changes when getting up, it is easy to cause insufficient blood supply to the heart and brain, so you must wake up after going to the toilet at night. In fact, when doing housework, we should also pay attention to the position change not too fast, so as not to cause cerebral ischemia.
3. Supplementing α -linolenic acid
Sesame oil contains more than 66% α -linolenic acid, which belongs to ω-3 fatty acid. α -linolenic acid is the main component of cell membrane, which participates in fat metabolism and sugar metabolism in vivo. Regular consumption also helps to remove blood waste, enhance blood vessel elasticity, prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and reduce blood lipids.
Increasing the intake of α -linolenic acid can significantly change the state of blood lipids, reduce the residue of blood waste on blood and blood vessel walls, balance the intake of fatty acids and prevent chronic diseases.
You can add some sesame oil, cold salad, oil-soaked vegetables, soup, stuffing, etc. in your daily life, or you can eat it directly with yogurt.
4. Ensure adequate drinking water.
Insufficient drinking water will increase the blood viscosity in the body, and it is difficult to discharge the accumulated waste. Therefore, adequate drinking water is very important to prevent cerebral thrombosis. Normal daily drinking water should reach 2000~2500 ml. It is more important for the elderly to drink more water, because their blood has the characteristics of viscosity and coagulation in different degrees.
Friends who think white water is tasteless can also drink 1-2 cups of dandelion mulberry leaf tea (dandelion+mulberry leaf) every day, which can effectively reduce the three highs and prevent thrombosis.
Modern medical research shows that mulberry leaves contain a variety of amino acids and vitamins. Has the effects of reducing blood lipid, cholesterol, thrombosis and atherosclerosis, and resisting aging and fatigue. Mulberry leaves also have a good skin care effect, especially on acne and brown spots on the face.
The combination of mulberry leaves and dandelion makes full use of dandelion's functions of clearing away heat and toxic materials, broad-spectrum antibacterial, clearing liver and improving eyesight, and the effect is greatly improved. It can not only improve immunity, prevent colds, but also reduce the three highs, killing two birds with one stone.
5, low-salt diet
Some patients with cerebral thrombosis have high blood pressure, so the amount of salt should be less, so we should adopt a low-salt diet, 3 grams of salt a day, add salt after cooking and mix well.
Teach you a set of 10 minute vascular massage exercises.
Dilate blood vessels, improve blood flow and help lower blood pressure.
① Head (2 minutes)
Draw a circle with your fingertips or palms and press your temples.
② Hands (hands 1 min)
Rub the back of your hand and palm with your fingertips.
③ Wrist (each wrist 1 min)
Hold the wrist with your hand, turn it left and right, and then rub it up and down to make the skin and wrist feel separated.
④ Legs (each leg 1 min)
Press and rub the groin at the root of thigh with both hands and fingers.
⑤ Feet (each foot 1 min)
Turn your ankles around and rub the instep and sole with your fingertips.
