Stroke has an acute onset, rapid change, high mortality and disability rate, which seriously threatens people's lives and health. So is there a precursor to a stroke? How to prevent it in life?
When you have a headache or sensory disturbance, be careful of stroke.
There will be such a situation in life. Some people meet acquaintances on the road and know who they are, but they can't name them, so everyone will pay attention to them. If they are accompanied by sensory disorders such as dizziness, headache, numbness of lips and limbs, it is mostly a precursor to stroke. Generally speaking, the specific precursors of stroke are as follows:
1, headache, dizziness
Headache and dizziness can be described as a typical precursor of stroke, and the feeling of headache is different from that of usual headache. In addition to the severity of headache, there are persistent and local characteristics. Pain is often fixed in a certain part, which is mostly the manifestation of blood pressure fluctuation or cerebral vasospasm. If accompanied by visual rotation, malignancy, vomiting and other symptoms, it is likely to be a precursor to hemorrhagic stroke.
2. Sensory disorder
The so-called sensory disturbance refers to the difficulties and abnormalities of various sensory organs of the body, such as numbness of the mouth, lips, face and limbs. In addition, there will be symptoms unknown to the eyes and ears, such as tinnitus, hearing loss, blindness, blurred vision and so on.
3. Natural mutation
Many stroke patients will have sudden changes in personality and behavior before stroke. For example, people who are originally cheerful will become silent, withdrawn, depressed and anxious. Many times they will lose their temper inexplicably and lose their ability to judge many things, which is also one of the precursors of stroke.
4. Dyskinesia
On TV, we often see that many stroke patients will have sequelae such as crooked mouth and hemiplegia. In fact, all kinds of dyskinesia are also precursors of stroke. When one side of the body is weak, the movement is ineffective and the object is unstable, everyone should be careful of stroke. In addition, unclear articulation, speech disorder and mouth askew are also the initial precursors of stroke.
How to prevent stroke?
It is not alarmist to say that stroke is the killer of human health, because stroke can also cause many complications, such as cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, brain-heart syndrome, central dyspnea, lung infection and so on, and each complication can be said to be fatal. As the number one killer of health and safety, how to effectively prevent the above-mentioned stroke precursors?
1, coarse grains are indispensable.
Poor diet is one of the causes of stroke. Eating too much fat, sweet greasy, alcohol, etc. in life will lead to spleen transport and loss of health, leading to wet phlegm, while phlegm and blood stasis can be turned into heat, causing liver wind to disturb phlegm, which will lead to stroke. Therefore, for patients with stroke aura, a large number of whole grains and vegetables should be added to the diet to supplement dietary fiber, various vitamins and minerals.
Moreover, dietary fiber in coarse grains and fruits and vegetables can also promote intestinal peristalsis and prevent constipation (constipation can also cause stroke), which is quite beneficial to reduce the occurrence of stroke and prevent its deterioration or recurrence.
2, high-protein food is essential.
The high protein mentioned here includes beans, bean products and fungi. These high-protein foods are rich in various amino acids needed by the human body. Adding more food can improve the elasticity of cerebral artery and arterial wall in other parts of the body in patients with hypertension and promote the excretion of excess sodium in the body.
3. Unsaturated fatty acids are indispensable.
Stroke patients and precursor patients can also eat more foods rich in unsaturated fatty acids, which are indispensable to the human body. Compared with animal fat, the former is beneficial to human body and the latter is harmful. Never underestimate unsaturated fatty acids. Unsaturated fatty acids can often save stroke patients from the crisis, especially when human blood vessels are aging or blocked.
4. There is not much salt.
Normal people's daily salt intake is generally around 6g, but it should be lower than this level for stroke patients and precursor patients. Because the human body ingests too much sodium ion, it will increase blood volume and heart burden, and also increase blood viscosity, thus raising blood pressure, which is extremely unfavorable to stroke patients.
