Thrombosis is a small blood clot formed on the inner surface of the blood vessel at the exfoliation or repair. Generally speaking, the blood clot can block the blood vessel. The thrombus may occur at any age and time, and it is very harmful.
If the thrombus occurs in the cardiovascular, it can cause myocardial infarction; if it occurs in the head, it can cause cerebral infarction; if it occurs in the lung, it can cause pulmonary embolism. Thrombosis is divided into arterial and venous thrombosis. The root cause of myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction is arterial thrombosis, while venous thrombosis is largely ignored and can be called an invisible killer.
The most prone to thrombosis is the head.
Many people think that the incidence of stroke is related to age. They believe that with coronary heart disease, the elderly with three high strokes will have a stroke, but not only the elderly will have a stroke. It has no age limit.
Therefore, it is necessary to prevent strokes, so when the stroke comes, what abnormalities will occur in the body that need to alert us?
Generally speaking, when cerebral thrombosis occurs, it will cause 3 kinds of phenomena in the head:
First, the corners are skewed
When you find that the corner of your mouth is suddenly uncontrolled and suddenly tilted to one side , or your mouth cannot be closed , when you stick out your tongue and find that your tongue is also tilted to one side, then you need to pay attention. This may be a sign of a stroke.
Dizziness and headache
After cerebral thrombosis, due to the interruption of local blood supply and oxygen supply, there will be discomfort in the head, such as dizziness and headache . Because the symptoms are similar to those of dizziness and headache during a cold, many patients will pay little attention, leading to serious consequences.
Third, blurred vision
If the blood clot is happening in the area where the vision is controlled, it may cause blurred vision and can't see what's in front of you.
In addition to these symptoms of the face, what other symptoms of stroke?
Tongue numbness, indirect inability to speak; or vomiting, urinary incontinence and other symptoms; or fluctuations in blood pressure may indicate the occurrence of a stroke.
Once this symptom appears, immediately stop any activities and seek medical treatment in a timely manner. The earlier the treatment of any disease, the higher the cure rate. Don't trust the so-called home remedies and tricks, because stroke is an emergency, and if treatment is delayed, the consequences may be unpredictable.
Stroke is terrible, but as long as you prevent it in daily life , you can greatly reduce its probability.
So what do we need to do to prevent cerebral thrombosis?
We start with the factors that can cause blood vessel blockage and rupture. The common risk factors are generally: hyperlipidemia, high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, diabetes , and prevention of stroke to prevent these diseases.
First, quit smoking and drinking.
Because tobacco and alcohol damage blood vessels, quitting smoking and alcohol can effectively prevent strokes.
Second, maintain normal blood pressure and blood sugar.
People with high blood pressure are relatively prone to stroke because of the sclerosis of blood vessels. The longer the history of hypertension, the more pronounced the degree of vascular sclerosis. High blood sugar is also a cause of stroke.
Investigations have shown that the incidence of stroke in diabetic patients is four times that of normal people. Hyperglycemia can cause atherosclerosis, reduce the hardness and elasticity of blood vessels, cause the formation of vascular plaques, and cause strokes.
Third, maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Adhere to the right amount of exercise every day, which can slow down aging. Avoid excessive exercise. Excessive exercise consumes qi and blood. The elderly are weak. Excessive exercise is prone to stroke.
Maintain good eating habits and eat more fruits and vegetables. Try to choose high-fiber foods such as brown rice, oats, and nuts for carbohydrates. Avoid high-fat foods and eat less processed foods, such as ham and bacon.
Have a regular medical examination. Regular physical examinations can identify problems and risk factors in the body as early as possible, and treat them in time to prevent them.
