There are more and more stroke patients around us. Stroke occurs and progresses very quickly, literally knocking the patient down like a gale, seriously threatening the patient’s life safety. In reality, many people’s knowledge of stroke is inadequate or even wrong, have you heard of these following misconceptions? “Stroke is a disease of the elderly, only the elderly can get it, we young people will not have it!” “You need to go to the hospital every year for an infusion, and unblocking the blood vessels will prevent a stroke!” “When the condition gets better, you can stop the medicine!” “Stroke is an incurable disease, no prevention has been done!” You have heard of all these misconceptions, right? Here, Dr. Liang will take you to expose these skins. 1. “Stroke is a disease of the elderly, only the elderly will get it, we young people will not have it!” Stroke is a disease of the elderly, people in their youth and prime years, there is absolutely no need to but the heart. If you have this idea, then you are very wrong. Because the stroke has quietly spread to the middle-aged group. In recent years, China’s young and middle-aged people suffer from dyslipidemia, overweight, obesity rate increased greatly, and the smoking rate of middle-aged men is also much higher than that of the elderly, coupled with high work pressure, family burden, exercise less, resulting in more and more young and middle-aged people become a member of the stroke, stroke is a trend of youth. Some of the poor habits of young people, such as staying up late, smoking, drinking, overwork, obesity, high-fat and high-sugar diet and other lifestyles can make the high incidence of stroke among young people. 2. “You need to go to the hospital for infusion every year to prevent strokes by unblocking the blood vessels!” Is it true that infusion therapy in spring and autumn can prevent stroke? In fact, there is no scientific research to prove that “relying on short-term intravenous infusion to prevent stroke” is effective. Instead of going to infusion every year, it is better to pay attention to your blood pressure, blood lipids, blood sugar and treatment of heart disease and other related diseases in your daily life to minimize the impact of these risk factors, far more effective infusion prevention! 3, “drugs have side effects, health care products are safer”! Many patients see the side effects of those drugs written on the drug instructions, worried about long-term eating damage to the body, they do not want to continue to take drugs. Drugs can certainly lead to side effects, but after all, only a very small number of people will occur. Moreover, the frequency and severity of adverse reactions are not related to the number of instructions written. Taking the medication as prescribed by the doctor and following up regularly is the most correct way to treat stroke. In addition, some people are convinced that taking certain health care products can prevent diseases, which can only be described as self-deception and paying IQ tax. For health care, a regular lifestyle and diet are more important. The definition of health care products is very clear: they can regulate the functions of the human body and are suitable for consumption by specific groups of people, but not for the purpose of treating diseases and cannot replace drugs. There are also some people who insist on walking 10,000 steps backwards in the park every day, just because they don’t want to take medicine. I do not know, exercise is correct, but only one of the many methods, and can not play a major role. 4. “When your condition improves, you can stop taking your medication!” After a stroke, some people do not take medication because they are treated promptly, or because the lesion is not in a critical area and the limb function is recovering well, because they can move their legs and feet. In fact, even if the limb function has recovered after a stroke, the vascular function may not necessarily have improved. The recurrence rate of stroke is high, with a 5-year recurrence rate of 30%, and 30% of patients are hospitalized again due to recurrence. Therefore, the treatment of stroke is a long-term process, and the only way to achieve the therapeutic effect is to adhere to the effective dose of medication every day. 5. Stroke rehabilitation depends on “nurturing”? Many stroke patients and their families mistakenly believe that the symptoms of hemiplegia caused by stroke can be cured by hospitalization, injection and medication in the early stage of stroke. Only then do you think about rehabilitation, but you have already missed the best time for rehabilitation. The earlier the formal rehabilitation training starts, the better the rehabilitation effect. Generally speaking, patients with cerebral infarction can undergo rehabilitation training after 48 hours as long as they are clear, their vital signs are stable and their condition is no longer progressing. For most patients with cerebral hemorrhage, rehabilitation can be carried out in 7 to 14 days provided that their condition is stable. And it is really a complete mistake to hope for sedation, which not only affects the recovery of motor function of hemiplegic patients, but also easily causes disuse atrophy.
