Blood pressure should be measured every day, and a sudden attack of cerebrovascular disease may be triggered if blood pressure fluctuates greatly (i.e., too high or too low).
During the winter season, the number of hospital outpatients and inpatients with cerebrovascular disease increases by 10-18% compared to usual. According to statistics, more than 60-70% of strokes occur in late autumn, winter, winter and spring.
During these seasons, the body’s metabolic action slows down, lifestyle habits become unreasonable, exercise decreases, and the body’s ability to resist disease decreases.
Freezing point: the weather alert for stroke
Cerebrovascular disease commonly known as stroke, also known as stroke, stroke, cerebrovascular accident, it includes.
Ischemic stroke, which is what Western medicine calls cerebral thrombosis, cerebral embolism, and lacunar cerebral infarction.
Hemorrhagic stroke, which is divided into cerebral hemorrhage and subarachnoid hemorrhage depending on the site of hemorrhage.
Generally speaking, the onset of stroke is rapid, fierce and unpredictable, with a high death and disability rate, and it has ranked first among fatal diseases in China.
A large number of facts have proved that the peak incidence of stroke is very closely related to strong cold air activity, when the minimum daily temperature drops below the freezing point (0 ℃), the incidence of stroke increases significantly, and the mortality rate also increases significantly. Therefore, the freezing temperature is the meteorological warning line for stroke.
The cold weather in winter tends to lead to vasoconstriction and increased tension, with a corresponding increase in blood pressure, which in turn may cause vascular rupture and bleeding.
Cold weather, vasoconstriction at the same time, platelets in the blood vessels are also easy to agglutinate and form thrombus, lower temperatures will also lead to endocrine system dysregulation, increased secretion of chemical mediators such as catecholamines in the body, increased blood viscosity, blood clotting time shortened, further contributing to increased blood pressure and the formation of thrombus. In addition, the physiological function of the middle-aged and elderly people is reduced, and their adaptability, stress and resistance to changes in the external environment are reduced, so it is very easy to lead to the occurrence of stroke.
Stroke: “Three high” people should be alert
High blood pressure, high blood pressure, diabetes, atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, etc., is the root cause of stroke.
Zhang Zhenzhong said that patients who have had strokes before, as well as those with high blood pressure, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, arteriosclerosis and coronary heart disease should pay particular attention to prevent cerebrovascular disease (stroke).
He suggested that these high-risk groups should have their blood pressure measured every day, and that any fluctuations in blood pressure (i.e., too high or too low) may trigger a sudden attack of cerebrovascular disease.
Prevention: Ten key points to do
Promote a healthy lifestyle and regular work and rest. Avoid staying up late and overworking.
Eat right. Drink more water, eat a low-salt diet, mix meat and vegetables, and stop when possible.
Appropriate physical exercise. Adhere to certain outdoor activities and indoor exercise according to your physical condition, the time should not be too early or too late, and the amount of exercise is moderate.
Keep your mood relaxed and emotionally stable.
Control risk factors, especially tobacco, alcohol and greasy food.
Regular physical examination to detect physical abnormalities in time.
Do not use health care products instead of medication.
Insist on taking medication as prescribed by the doctor and do not stop taking lipid-lowering, blood pressure-lowering and sugar-lowering drugs without authorization.
Seek medical attention in time for the best treatment in case of serious discomfort.
Pay attention to warmth and ventilation. Room temperature should be 18-20 degrees Celsius, not too high, and the room should be kept at a certain humidity level, and windows should be opened regularly for ventilation.
