Patient consultation: "Doctor, when the cerebral infarction comes, what uncomfortable symptoms will there be in the head?"
I replied: "The cerebral infarction is coming. In fact, there are many symptoms, not only the symptoms of the head, but also the symptoms of discomfort in other parts. Let's start with the symptoms of the head. More symptoms of the head are dizziness. Headache is generally not a symptom of cerebral infarction. Sudden headache is common in cerebral hemorrhage or subarachnoid hemorrhage. These are all hemorrhagic diseases. Of course, when the area of cerebral infarction is particularly large, causing brain edema, there will also be headaches, but this time is often not when the cerebral infarction has just arrived, and it has been ill for several days. So the cerebral infarction is coming, and the most common head symptom is dizziness. "
Acute onset, slurred speech, inability to speak (aphasia), mouth askew, salivation, weakness or paralysis of one limb, sudden numbness of one limb, sudden dizziness, acute onset of chorea, limb convulsion, memory loss and other symptoms may all be acute cerebrovascular disease.

No, cerebral hemorrhage and cerebral infarction are two diseases, but they are both acute cerebrovascular diseases, and people often call them "strokes". Cerebral infarction refers to the disorder of blood supply in the brain caused by various reasons, which leads to cerebral ischemia and hypoxia, thus leading to ischemic necrosis or softening of local brain tissue. It is easy to understand that some blood vessels in the cerebral vessels are blocked and the blood does not circulate, resulting in symptoms. Cerebral infarction mostly occurs in middle-aged and elderly people, and its main causes include atherosclerosis, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia and hyperhomocysteinemia. Shock and severe hypotension caused by various reasons, as well as mural thrombus and atherosclerotic plaque shedding in some hearts are also the main reasons. Cerebral hemorrhage refers to cerebral parenchymal hemorrhage, accounting for about 20% of all strokes, but the mortality rate is 30%-40% (the data is for reference only, because the condition changes every year and the value is not fixed). Hypertension is the most common cause of cerebral hemorrhage, and other causes include aneurysm, arteriovenous malformation, cerebral amyloid angiopathy, hematological diseases and brain tumors.
Is cerebral infarction harmful? Why do some patients get cerebral infarction and recover well? Some patients are paralyzed in bed. Even his life was saved?
Why do some patients get cerebral infarction and recover well? Some patients are paralyzed in bed. Even his life was saved? This is because it is closely related to the specific intracranial location, cerebral infarction area, medication, diagnosis and treatment time, individual physique and whether there is further rehabilitation treatment, and the recovery situation of each patient will be different. Therefore, when more people in society know about this disease, they can help more patients, send them to the hospital as soon as possible, treat them as soon as possible, and minimize the sequelae, which will bring positive significance to patients' families and society.
