Health education of carotid artery stenosis

Carotid artery is a very important blood vessel in human body, which can transport blood from the heart to the face, head and neck, and is also the main blood supply vessel of the brain. If carotid stenosis is caused by some diseases, the blood supply to the brain will be limited and the probability of cerebral ischemia will be greatly increased. According to the research, after the symptoms of severe carotid stenosis appear, even with active drug treatment, there will still be cerebral ischemia and even cerebral infarction. Therefore, people need to know the symptoms of carotid artery stenosis in order to actively prevent carotid artery stenosis. Then, I often feel dizzy and numb. Is it caused by carotid stenosis?

I often feel dizzy and numb on my face. Is it caused by carotid stenosis?

Carotid artery is an important blood vessel in human body. If the symptoms of stenosis appear, the blood supply to the face and head will be affected and even people will die. It can be seen that the degree of harm of carotid artery stenosis is high. After many people have symptoms of carotid artery stenosis, the blood supply to the brain is insufficient, and they often have symptoms of dizziness and headache, and they also feel numb on their faces. Therefore, after the symptoms of dizziness and facial numbness appear, you need to seek medical advice in time. It is a threat to people's life and health to take effective measures to prevent carotid artery stenosis from aggravating.

Carotid artery stenosis, what symptoms will appear?

1, amnesia

Patients with carotid artery stenosis usually have memory loss, which is mainly due to the damage of cerebral blood vessels, and often have symptoms of cerebral ischemia and hypoxia. At this time, people's brain function is affected, which is prone to memory loss and orientation loss. If memory loss is found in a short time, it is necessary to be alert to carotid stenosis.

Step 2 be dizzy

When the symptoms of carotid artery stenosis appear, patients often feel dizzy at this time, even accompanied by symptoms of nausea and vomiting, mainly due to insufficient blood supply or oxygen supply to the brain after carotid artery stenosis. Therefore, when the brain nerve is damaged, people will feel dizzy in the head and need to seek medical attention in time.

3, limb numbness

Limb numbness is a common manifestation of carotid stenosis. When the carotid artery is narrow, the oxygen and blood supply required by many organs or tissues of the body is insufficient. Therefore, people will feel numb in their limbs, especially at the ends of the limbs, and may also have symptoms of hemiplegia or weakness of the limbs. It can be seen that when symptoms of dizziness and numbness appear, people need to be alert to carotid artery lesions. Because carotid artery stenosis often makes people feel dizzy, face numb, and even memory loss and numbness of limbs, severe carotid artery stenosis can also make patients have language difficulties and consciousness disorders.
