Causes of stroke:
One is atherosclerosis. Atherosclerotic plaque appears in the intima of artery, which forms thrombus and blocks blood vessels, leading to embolism and obstruction.
The second is high blood pressure. Once hypertension exists for a long time, the blood vessel wall will be compensatory thickened and easily ruptured, causing cerebral hemorrhage. There are also high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, alcoholism, obesity, bad eating habits and lack of exercise, all of which may lead to stroke.
What are the signs of a stroke?
1. Keep yawning.
2. Sudden increase or decrease of blood pressure
3. Abnormal gait with numbness of limbs
4. Sudden dizziness and headache
Attention should be paid to the prevention and control of stroke;
1. Stabilize blood pressure
Hypertension is the biggest risk factor for independent intervention of stroke. If blood pressure can be well controlled at an ideal level, the occurrence of diseases will be greatly reduced. Therefore, once hypertension is diagnosed, we must insist on taking medicine to lower blood pressure and stabilize blood pressure.
2, moderate exercise
Exercise can accelerate metabolism, promote fat decomposition and accelerate blood circulation. It is very helpful to prevent stroke. People who don't like sports also have a high risk of stroke.
stop smoking and refrain from drinking
No matter smoking or drinking, it will cause the pressure change of vascular state, induce the heartbeat to accelerate, blood pressure to rise, and aggravate arteriosclerosis. These are all risk factors that may lead to cerebral hemorrhage. Therefore, it is not too late to quit smoking and drinking!
Stroke is a common and frequently-occurring disease that threatens human health. It has the characteristics of high disability rate, high disability rate, high mortality rate, high recurrence rate and many complications. At the same time, more and more studies show that at least 80% of stroke can be prevented, and more than 90% of risk factors can be controlled artificially!
Stroke is preventable and treatable, and prevention is particularly important. Therefore, how to prevent stroke should be the focus of our attention.
