Do you know about stroke?
Stroke (i.e. cerebrovascular disease) is a group of diseases in which the blood vessels in the human brain, for one reason or another, cause disruption of the intracranial blood supply, resulting in tissue damage. It includes cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction and subarachnoid hemorrhage, with cerebral infarction being the most common. It is one of the three major causes of death that seriously threaten human life, and is characterized by high morbidity, disability, mortality and recurrence rates. With the increase of the elderly population in China, the incidence of stroke is on the rise year by year. The incidence of the disease in China is 120-180/100,000, and the mortality rate is about 60-120/100,000, which means that there are 1.5 million new cases of stroke in China every year, nearly 1 million people die of stroke every year, and the number of people with the disease is even higher than nearly 1 million. Among the survivors, 3/4 of them have different degrees of labor loss, and more than 40% of them are severely disabled, which is a great burden to the society and families.
Modern epidemiological investigations have shown that a number of factors are closely related to the occurrence of stroke and are considered to be causative factors of the disease, also known as risk factors. They are divided into two categories: one is uncontrollable factors: aging, gender, genetics, etc.; the other is controllable factors: hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, myocardial infarction, obesity, smoking, poor dietary habits or lifestyle. If these factors can be effectively intervened, the morbidity and mortality of cerebrovascular disease can be significantly reduced.

Abnormal blood pressure
A sudden and continuous increase in blood pressure to more than 200/120mmHg is a pre-expression of cerebral hemorrhage; a sudden increase in blood pressure to less than 80/50mmHg is a pre-expression of cerebral thrombosis.
Fourth, nosebleeds in patients with hypertension
It is a noteworthy danger signal. If frequent and large amount of bleeding occurs, together with fundus bleeding and hematuria symptoms, it is a pre-expression of cerebral hemorrhage.
Abnormal gait
Sudden change of gait with numbness and weakness of one limb in the elderly is a precursor reaction to a stroke.
V. Constant yawning
In 80% of patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease, the phenomenon of cerebral hypoxia such as yawning and depression will occur 5-10 days before the onset of stroke.
Sixth, other symptoms
Such as: choking cough, difficulty in swallowing, fatigue, drowsiness, ringing in the ears, sudden appearance of hemianesthesia, etc., are all precursors of stroke performance.
