Stroke, also known as cerebrovascular accident, is a common disease in middle and old age, with rapid onset, high mortality rate, high disability rate and slow recovery, cerebrovascular disease has become the second of the top ten causes of death of urban residents in China, is a serious health hazard to people’s lives. In the face of the ‘stroke’ demon, is it better to sit back and wait for death, or to fight against it and prevent it before it happens? Undoubtedly the latter is more desirable, especially the high-risk groups of stroke and stroke aura patients, more active prevention, more than a decade of practice has also proved that stroke can be prevented. A. Who is at high risk of stroke 1, hypertension patients The role of long-term hypertension can cause small artery degeneration and the formation of microaneurysms, when a sudden rise in blood pressure will lead to hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral hemorrhage is 70% caused by hypertension. Hypertension can also cause and exacerbate atherosclerosis, leading to cerebral infarction, the severity of hypertension is directly proportional to the chance of occurrence and severity of cerebral infarction. 2, diabetic patients Stroke is one of the common complications of diabetes, and the occurrence of stroke is five times higher in diabetic patients than in normal people. About 10-30% of stroke patients have a history of diabetes. 3, hyperlipidemia patients The higher the concentration of triglycerides, cholesterol and beta-lipoprotein in the blood, the more likely atherosclerosis will occur, and thus the more chances of suffering a stroke. 4, heart disease patients heart disease cardiac insufficiency can cause cerebral ischemia and cerebral infarction, rheumatic heart disease embolism can cause cerebral embolism, myocardial infarction can cause cerebral vascular spasm and cerebral infarction and cerebral edema. 5, abnormal blood rheology abnormal blood rheology, such as increased viscosity of whole blood, red blood cell deformation abnormalities greatly increase the risk of stroke, increased red blood cell pressure and increased fibrinogen is the risk of cerebral infarction indicators, in recent years, according to the changes in blood rheology to make stroke forecasts, has a certain clinical reference value. 6, smokers and smokers smoking age and the incidence of stroke is directly proportional to the incidence of smokers suffering from cerebral infarction than non-smokers several times higher. Long-term smoking causes thickening of the blood vessel wall, lipid deposition, narrowing of the lumen, promoting the development of atherosclerosis and development, so easy to have a stroke. Long-term alcohol abuse will raise blood pressure, which can easily cause brain hemorrhage. 7, more than middle-aged men in general, less than 40 years of age, the incidence of stroke gradually increased above the age of 45, more than 50 years of age, the mortality rate of stroke increased, more than 55 years of age, each increase of one year, the incidence of stroke doubled. The incidence of stroke is higher in men than in women, with a male to female ratio of 1.5:1. 8. People with stroke in the family Stroke has a familial tendency, and the incidence of stroke is 3-4 times higher in people with a family history of stroke than in the general population. What are the aura symptoms of stroke Most strokes have some aura symptoms first, so it is important to recognize the aura symptoms of stroke and treat them early to prevent stroke. The main symptoms of stroke aura are: paroxysmal dizziness, dizziness, episodic numbness and other sensory disorders, transient language disorders such as strong tongue, slurred speech or aphasia, transient unfavorable movement or paralysis of a partial limb, transient blackness and other visual disorders, syncopal episodes, as well as head swelling and pain, finger numbness, amnesia, muscle tremors, unsteady gait and so on. These symptoms do not all have to be present. If you are over 40 years old and have a history of hypertension, atherosclerosis, hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease, diabetes and transient cerebral ischemia, as long as one or two symptoms appear, you should pay attention to them and seek timely treatment. Preventive measures to prevent stroke On the one hand, we should prevent and control some related diseases that cause stroke, such as hypertension, atherosclerosis, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, rheumatic heart disease and coronary heart disease, and block the pathological basis of stroke; on the other hand, we should develop good habits to eliminate the triggering factors of stroke. The Qing dynasty doctor Li with the essence in the “evidence and treatment of the repertoire” pointed out: “ordinary people finger numbness, dizziness from time to time, is a precursor of stroke, must prevent stop, should be careful living, diet, far from the house, regulate the mood.” This twelve words prevention policy, highly summarized the experience of Chinese medicine to prevent stroke, but also in line with the understanding of modern medicine, still has important significance. 1, careful living Stroke mostly occurs after exertion, especially heavy brain work, so that the already fragile cerebral blood vessels are overwhelmed and stroke, so life should be regular, pay attention to the appropriate amount of work and rest, to actively participate in physical exercise suitable for their physical strength, such as jogging, taijiquan, qigong, etc., the appropriate amount of exercise is a good stimulus for the cerebral vessels, which helps to improve the blood supply to the brain, to relieve brain fatigue, to reduce Blood pressure, lower blood fat, weight loss are useful. 2, diet Excessive consumption of fat and cholesterol can cause atherosclerosis, excessive salt intake can lead to hypertension, excessive consumption of sugar and fat can cause hyperlipidemia, all of which can increase the risk of stroke. Therefore it is important to moderate salt, fat, cholesterol and sugar in the diet, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and eat animal protein in moderation to help prevent strokes. Excessive satiety and alcohol abuse are both triggers for stroke. The festival banquet, in the face of good food and wine, must be eaten in moderation. 3, far from the room room overwork is an important factor in triggering a stroke, the stroke induced by sexual life Chinese medicine called “immediately wind”. When the orgasm heartbeat plus bump, blood pressure, the cerebral cortex strongly discharge electricity, the brain is in a high blood supply, high oxygen consumption state, in hypertension, atherosclerosis on the basis of the cerebral vascular rupture is very likely to cause a stroke. Therefore, people at high risk of stroke should pay attention to abstain from sexual intercourse, reduce the frequency of sexual life and take a less physically demanding sexual lifestyle. The appearance of stroke aura symptoms, should generally prohibit intercourse. 4, adjusting the mood of excessive emotional volatility is often a trigger for stroke, watching a wonderful and intense ball game or movie drama, playing cards and mahjong, the surprise of a long-awaited reunion, the sadness of losing a loved one can cause a stroke. Irritation can lead to hypertensive brain hemorrhage, and panic can easily cause brain infarction. To prevent stroke, keep your mood relaxed and happy, and avoid excessive emotions. Remember, a healthy mind can bring you a healthy body!
