How did the cerebral infarction come about? Reminder: If there are 5 phenomena during sleep, you should pay attention to them as much as possible

The brain belongs to the "commander headquarters" of the human body. Every thought and behavior of a person is controlled by the brain. Once a problem is found in the brain, the consequences will be unimaginable.

In recent years, the number of patients with cerebral infarction has increased year by year. According to the latest statistics, in recent years, there have been as many as 2 million patients with cerebral infarction. About 12 seconds, a person has a cerebral infarction, and every 21 seconds, a person dies. Cerebral infarction has become the cause of death in China.

According to statistics, the incidence of the first stroke in China aged 30-70 increases by an average of 8.3% per year. Why have cerebral infarctions occurred frequently in recent years? Let's take a look.

01

First of all, we must understand, what is cerebral infarction?

The full name of cerebral infarction is cerebral infarction, and it is often called ischemic stroke in modern medicine.

Cerebral infarction is cerebral infarction or cerebral infarction, which is the blockage of cerebral arteries by emboli, which affects blood flow, leads to ischemia and necrosis of brain cells, and forms ischemic lesions.

After brain function damage, a series of clinical symptoms and signs such as hemiplegia, hemisensory disturbance, hemianopia, mental disorder, language disorder, visual and auditory disorder, and cognitive impairment appear.

Cerebral infarction is the most common and most common type of ischemic cerebrovascular disease. The fatality rate is high, the disability rate is high, and the recurrence rate is high. The prevention of cerebral infarction is of great significance.

Especially patients with positive family history, middle-aged and elderly people have arteriosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hyperhomocysteinemia, and are prone to cerebral infarction. It is of great significance to do primary and secondary prevention .

How did the cerebral infarction come about?

1. Lack of exercise

People who lack exercise for a long time will cause fat accumulation and obesity because the excess calories and fat in the body cannot be consumed in time.

Excessive obesity will lead to an increase in the fat content in the blood, resulting in an increase in blood lipid levels, affecting the health of the brain's vascular system, thereby affecting the normal blood supply and oxygen supply of brain tissue.

Ultimately promote the formation and pathogenesis of cerebral infarction, so exercise.

2. Irritability and depression

When people are very angry or depressed, it will cause cerebral infarction, because being easily angry or worrying for a long time, anxiety will cause abnormal regulation of blood vessels and nerves, or constrict cerebral blood vessels, leading to cerebral infarction.

3. High blood pressure

Most patients with cerebral infarction have a history of hypertension. Some people have cerebral infarction because they do not pay attention to blood pressure monitoring. Some people clearly know that they have high blood pressure, but they do not take antihypertensive drugs regularly.

Therefore, blood pressure always fluctuates, eventually leading to cerebral infarction. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor blood pressure regularly and try to control blood pressure within the normal range.

4. Smoking and drinking

People who smoke and drink for a long time are also prone to cerebral infarction, because tobacco poisoning can damage the intima of blood vessels, shrink small blood vessels, hinder blood circulation, and greatly increase the incidence of cerebral infarction. Drinking alcohol will accelerate blood flow, increase blood pressure in the body, and easily cause cerebral infarction.

Therefore, patients with cerebral infarction should have good living habits, realize a scientific and healthy life, actively prevent cerebral infarction, and reduce its incidence.

Doctor reminds: If you have these five phenomena when you sleep, try to pay attention

1. Numbness on one side of the limb

The numbness of one side of the limb caused by cerebral infarction is caused by the atrophy of blood vessels and nerves in the left limb caused by cerebral infarction, resulting in insufficient blood supply, leading to symptoms such as limb numbness.

Brainstem sensory impairment, when the cerebral infarction occurs in the lateral medulla oblongata, the upper and lower pons, and the middle cerebral infarction can involve the spinal cord thalamus, which can cause sensory impairment on the opposite side, that is, numbness of the limbs.

Thalamic sensory disturbances, when the thalamus is damaged, can present with complete sensory disturbances or reduced contralateral hemiparesis, characterized by shallow sensory disturbances that are more severe than tactile disturbances.

Intracapsular sensory disturbances can also cause contralateral mild hemiparesis, including loss or diminished facial sensation, with hemiparesis and hemianopia. Clinically known as three-point syndrome, cortical sensory disturbance. Contralateral hemiplegia can also cause loss of pain, ie numbness of the extremity, as cortical brain cells die.

2. Frequent drooling

When sleeping every day, unilateral saliva often occurs. Check the cerebral blood vessels in time to know that brain cells and nearby tissues and nerves need to be nourished by sending blood through the cerebral blood vessels.

If the blood vessels in the brain are abnormal or blocked, it may lead to a decrease in the supply of brain cells and blood to the nerves. Over time, it will cause nervous disorders, resulting in lax closure of the throat muscles, resulting in frequent drooling.

3. Blurred vision

Sudden short-sighted blurring, blindness, and blindness in one eye due to insufficient blood supply to the ipsilateral artery or ipsilateral artery, lasting for several minutes, and then vision recovery.

Brainstem infarction, midbrain or pontine involvement, oculomotor nucleus or abducens nucleus are involved, eye movement disorders are prone to occur, resulting in misalignment of binocular movements, two images appear on the retina, resulting in blurred vision or diplopia, Vision doubles.

The visual pathway is damaged, running from the optic nerve to the occipital lobe. Injury to any part can cause visual impairment, blurred vision, double vision, or hemianopia.

4. Nosebleeds while sleeping

Now that the season is relatively dry, nosebleeds seem to be a very common thing while sleeping. Many people's first reaction after a nosebleed is to get angry. In fact, most of them are caused by anger. But inertial nosebleeds, it is necessary to consider whether it is caused by insufficient blood supply to the brain.

Due to insufficient blood supply to the brain, blood pressure is squeezed into the nasal cavity, causing nasal bleeding. Therefore, if you often have nosebleeds while sleeping, you must pay attention.

5. Frequent dizziness and headache

Headache and dizziness are common symptoms in patients with cerebral infarction. Frequent headaches and dizziness may be a precursor to a cerebral infarction. Cerebral infarction, as a vascular disease, can lead to insufficient cerebral congestion.

Therefore, there will be problems such as dizziness. Of course, headaches and dizziness are not continuous, but intermittent, and the frequency of sleeping at night is the highest.

Conclusion: Health is not a trivial matter. Everyone has any physical discomfort. Seek medical treatment as soon as possible. Don’t miss every little detail. Early detection and treatment, prevention is better than cure!
