Cerebral infarction was previously a preserve of the elderly, but after entering the 21st century, people’s living standards have been greatly improved, and with it the incidence of cerebral infarction has increased, and there are The trend of youth.

There are not a few people around 45 years old who suffer from cerebral infarction in life. Many people have psychological questions, why is this happening? Today I will analyze this issue from a medical perspective.

1. The incidence of chronic diseases is increasing:

The prevalence of chronic diseases in China is now very high. Whether it is hypertension or diabetes, the number of confirmed cases in the country has exceeded 10 %. Because diseases such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, and hyperuricemia are chronic diseases, the progress of the disease is relatively slow, and many people do not realize its harm. They just take some medicine to control the indicators when they rise, and then return to normal. No medication.

Chronic diseases are currently incurable and require long-term oral medication. This is not only to control the indicators within the normal range, but also to prevent complications. However, many people do not realize the dangers of chronic diseases, take medicine intermittently, and do not frequently monitor blood pressure, blood sugar, blood uric acid and other indicators.

There are also some friends who take medicine intermittently because they are worried about the adverse reactions caused by long-term medication. In fact, this is a bit worrying, because the purpose of taking medicine is to reduce the occurrence of disease complications. The probability of adverse reactions caused by drugs really pales in comparison to the complications of chronic diseases.

If these chronic diseases are not well controlled, they will damage blood vessels and aggravate the process of atherosclerosis. Under the influence of certain inducements, such as emotional excitement, elevated blood pressure, overeating, etc., blood vessels will become damaged. Easily blocked, causing cerebral infarction.

2. Changes in living habits:

I don’t know if you have noticed that in the past, the pace of life was slower and people did not have too much pressure in life. But now not only the pace of life has accelerated, but also various pressures are faced, such as buying a house, studying, getting married, working, etc. Being in this tense state for a long time will significantly increase the risk of stroke.

In addition, many people also have bad habits. Now many people are smoking and drinking. I had noticed in the neurology department before that most of the 45-year-old patients with cerebral infarction had bad habits of smoking and drinking. Long-term smoking and drinking can also damage blood vessels and accelerate the progression of atherosclerosis. Even if people around 45 years old do not have these bad habits, their blood vessels have already aged to a certain extent. Of course, I am not trying to make a point here. There are indeed some people who have never smoked or drank alcohol and suffered cerebral infarction. However, this does not mean that smoking, drinking and cerebral infarction are not related.

In addition, another important factor is that few people insist on exercising. You must know that the saying that life lies in exercise is not nonsense. Long-term exercise can not only enhance cardiopulmonary function, but also slow down the aging of blood vessels. Reducing the amount of exercise will also make many people obese. Obesity not only increases the risk of hyperlipidemia, but also increases the incidence of hypertension and diabetes in these people. The combined result is that they are still prone to cerebral infarction.

It’s purely hand-typing, it’s really not easy. If you think the writing is good, please give it a thumbs up and a follow. If you have any questions, you can leave a message below...

I have seen it. More than a dozen patients with cerebral infarction and hemorrhage in their 30s have a close genetic relationship with their eating habits, lifestyle, and genetics.

The real case I introduced today will give you a definite answer!

Master Feng, 45 years old, was eating dinner and drinking some wine when suddenly his wine glass fell to the ground. Master Feng also slipped out of the chair. His family members helped him, but neither of them helped him up. They asked him what was wrong, but he didn't say anything. I only saw that Master Feng's mouth was crooked and he was drooling...

Even if you don't have any medical knowledge about this situation, you know that it is a stroke. 120 was sent to the hospital and a CT scan was performed immediately, which showed a large-scale cerebral infarction.

Master Feng’s daughter came with him. The daughter had not started school yet. When her father was rescuing her, she asked the doctor: “My dad, he doesn’t usually feel uncomfortable. How can you say he has a cerebral infarction?” "My family doesn't have this disease either?"

We first introduced Xiao Feng that his current condition is critical and we need to be mentally prepared. At the same time, he told her that her father's blood pressure was 200/120, blood sugar was 17, and blood lipids, LDL, were 7.6 when he arrived. This is a typical three highs. During the CT scan, the nurse couldn't lift her at all. In the end, it took four young men from the doctor and family members to lift her to the CT bed. She must have been completely overweight.

Therefore, the doctor told Xiao Feng: "Your father has high blood pressure, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and obesity; it can be said that he is the typical four highs. And you said that your father is usually fine and has nothing wrong with him. That means that None of these diseases have been found. "

Xiao Feng said: "But he doesn't feel anything at all. He has no dizziness, headache, or numbness in his hands and feet!"

The doctor said: "Most people with three highs do not have any symptoms in the early stage. Only a few people feel uncomfortable. If they do not go for examination, the three highs will not be discovered until they develop cerebral infarction or myocardial infarction."

If the three highs are not controlled for a long time, it will cause the blood vessels to produce more vascular waste, leading to the formation and aggravation of atherosclerosis. When the plaque aggravates to a certain extent, the unstable plaque will rupture, and thrombus will form after the plaque ruptures. When a blood clot blocks the cerebral blood vessels, cerebral infarction will occur. After cerebral infarction, hemiplegia, aphasia, hemiplegia and other consequences will occur. Some people can recover, but some people will have sequelae, and in severe cases, they will die.

Therefore, Xiao Feng said that her father was usually fine, but suddenly suffered a cerebral infarction. In fact, he was not usually fine, but he made a mistake and felt good. Everything will be calm before the bomb explodes, but once it explodes it will be nothing but ashes.

But Master Feng’s family members do not have cardiovascular disease, so why did he quietly develop high blood pressure?

Later, Xiao Feng revealed the truth. Her father started smoking when he was less than 20 years old, at least 2 packs a day. He usually likes to drink, at least half a kilo a day. He also likes to eat meat, and he can’t skip every meal. Especially braised pork, when you are less than 30 years old, you will be very fat. I don't like to go out and walk around. I just lie on the sofa and watch TV when I have nothing to do.

If you think about it, eating fat and salty foods, smoking and drinking a lot, sitting for a long time and never exercising, these habits will lead to obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia. And Master Feng didn't have a physical examination, and he didn't even have the habit of measuring his blood pressure. He didn't even know when he had three highs.

All unhealthy lifestyle habits without controlling the three highs will lead to aggravation of cardiovascular waste, that is, aggravation of atherosclerosis. As atherosclerosis aggravates, the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases will increase. The risk of cerebral infarction will be significantly increased. No matter how old you are, the more unhealthy lifestyles you have, the more likely you are to have cerebral infarction.

Most of the cerebral infarctions we see in the hospital are more or less caused by high blood pressure, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, smoking, alcoholism, inactivity, obesity, unhealthy diet, etc. lifestyle habits.

These are the main reasons for cerebral infarction among middle-aged people, and now more middle-aged people are willing to choose this kind of life because they think it is a kind of enjoyment and a blessing.

But one day, you will be lying on the bed in the intensive care unit of the hospital, with all kinds of instruments, and you can’t move or express your thoughts, even if you eat, drink, poop and pee. When you need someone to take care of you. Do you still think this is a kind of enjoyment and enjoyment?

If you feel that lying there eating, drinking and having someone take care of you is considered a blessing, then you can indeed choose the same life as Master Feng.

I think although Master Feng was speechless, he regretted it, very much. If God could give him another chance, he would definitely not choose such a life since he was 20 years old.

He will definitely choose what Dr. Wang recommends every day: stay away from tobacco and alcohol, exercise, eat healthily, control weight, work and rest on time, avoid staying up late, be in a good mood, etc.

But Master Feng has no choice! Because God will not give him another chance!

For those of us who do not suffer from three highs and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, God has been giving us opportunities. The key is how we choose!

Don’t let us be like Master Feng today and be unable to express our regrets many years later!

Nowadays, middle-aged people between the ages of 45 and 50 are indeed prone to cerebral infarction and cerebral hemorrhage. I am 48 years old this year. My classmate passed away due to cerebral hemorrhage during the Spring Festival this year. Another good friend also suffered a sudden cerebral hemorrhage and was sent to the hospital this year. He is still recovering. To be honest, in our Northeast. This age is really the age when cerebrovascular diseases are very likely to break out. Because we have a bad lifestyle, always drinking, staying up late, etc. Therefore, there are many people suffering from this kind of disease. Sometimes I can often see some in the park next to my community. People in their 50s walked staggeringly. At first glance, he looked like a patient with cerebral infarction or cerebral hemorrhage. That’s why some people call that road Xuexuan Road.

My father is in his fifties this year. He was diagnosed with brainstem infarction, which is cerebral thrombosis, a few days ago. Fortunately, he went to the hospital in time. He was lucky. After treatment, his hands and legs were only numb. There are no problems elsewhere. If you don't go to the hospital, you will probably be paralyzed in bed. I suggest that if you have symptoms, don't delay and go to the hospital to find out the cause.

My dad actually had a cerebral infarction eight or nine years ago. At that time, he had a headache. Then he went to the hospital and was told that he had a mild cerebral infarction. The doctor prescribed medicine. Later, my dad didn’t take it seriously and started working again. The hard work has not stopped. In fact, if we had paid attention to this disease at that time, there would not have been the sequelae like now.

A few days ago, my father suddenly felt numbness in his left hand while working, and his left leg was not working properly. He went to the village doctor to have a look. He used an instrument to measure atherosclerosis, and the value was relatively high. The doctor said This was a sign of cerebral thrombosis. I felt that I should go to the hospital for thrombolytic treatment, so I went to the hospital in a timely manner. I went within 6 hours, but it was a little late. If you have symptoms, it is best to go to the hospital within 3 hours.

I am about 40 or 50 years old. Based on my father’s experience, I think it is caused by four aspects.

1. Smoking and drinking frequently without restraint.

2. If you don’t take it seriously before you get sick, you will regret it if it gets serious.

3. Poor eating habits. I like to eat staple food and eat less vegetables. My eating habits need to be adjusted.

4. Don’t like to drink water, can’t rest well at night, go to bed too early, and get up too early.

I think my father’s cerebral infarction was caused by these bad habits. I think young people should eat reasonably, stay up less late, smoke less and drink less, and have more physical examinations, especially blood pressure and blood lipids, for health. Only by following your living habits can you and I be able to stay away from cerebral infarction and live a healthy life.

What do you think?

Many people think that cerebral infarction is a disease of the elderly, and that cerebral infarction only occurs when people reach old age. Yes, cerebral infarction is indeed a common disease among the elderly. We also call it "stroke", but you may not know that cerebral infarction is not uncommon in middle-aged people.

Dr. Wu once treated a patient who was very young, about 40 years old. But one day when he was riding a motorcycle, he felt that his hands and feet were not so free. He originally thought it was due to overwork. I didn't pay much attention to it. Later, the symptoms became more and more serious, so I came to the hospital for treatment. I suggested that he check a head CT to rule out cerebral infarction. He was still a little skeptical. How could he have cerebral infarction at such a young age? Later, it turned out that it was indeed cerebral infarction. Fortunately, the patient recovered well after treatment. Later, he continued to adhere to the secondary prevention of cerebral infarction according to my suggestions, and subsequent follow-up visits were quite normal.

Middle-aged cerebral infarction is indeed a problem that we should pay attention to. The theme of World Stroke Day in 2014 is "Pay attention to the risk of stroke in middle-aged people". This is enough to show that the problem of middle-aged cerebral infarction is serious. How grim!

So, why do so many middle-aged people suffer from cerebral infarction?

1. There are many high-risk diseases

Hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, atrial fibrillation and other diseases have always been high-risk diseases for cerebral infarction. If hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia are not treated for a long time, Control will lead to atherosclerosis and cerebral infarction. Nowadays, there are many people in their forties and fifties who have high blood pressure, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia. Therefore, it is not uncommon for cerebral infarction to occur in their forties or fifties. Strange.

2. Bad lifestyle

Smoking, alcoholism, little exercise, high pressure in life, irregular daily routine, overeating, etc. are all common problems among many people nowadays. Bad lifestyle. These bad lifestyles are risk factors for cerebral infarction.

In order to avoid cerebral infarction in middle age, Dr. Wu would like to remind everyone that if you have high-risk diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia, you must treat them early and strictly control them. Patients with high blood pressure should control their blood pressure below 140/90mmHg; patients with diabetes should control their blood sugar stably through diet control, exercise and rational use of hypoglycemic drugs; patients with hyperlipidemia should control their low-density lipoprotein, triglyceride and other blood lipid levels stably. , especially low-density lipoprotein levels should be reduced to less than 100mg/dL. Patients with coronary heart disease and diabetes should control low-density lipoproteins below 80mg/dL. Pay attention to correcting bad living habits: don’t smoke, drink less, exercise more, lose weight, have a regular daily routine, go to bed early and get up early and stay up less late, eat three meals a day on time, and have a balanced mix of meat and vegetables, don’t work too hard or be under too much pressure About to be released...

Understanding these is not enough, we also need to understand the signs of stroke. If a stroke does occur, we can detect and treat it early and strive to reduce the loss to the lowest level. lowest!

If you have signs of stroke such as a crooked mouth, numbness and weakness on one side of the limb, or slurred speech, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible to avoid missing the best opportunity for treatment. Don’t feel that your normal health If you are healthy, think that stroke is far away from you!

With the improvement of living standards, our dietary structure has undergone great changes, and we are also facing great mental pressure, so many diseases are no longer exclusive to the elderly.

If we carefully observe the people around us, we can find that whether in cities or rural areas, the incidence of cerebral infarction is gradually increasing, and the limb dysfunction left by cerebral infarction is not only affecting our health. The quality of life has also brought a heavy financial burden to many families.

The sound of cerebral infarction is related to many factors, such as hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia, hypertension, obesity, severe arrhythmia, rapid drop in blood pressure caused by various reasons (overdose of antihypertensive drugs, shock, etc.) , arteritis, etc., patients may experience dizziness, headache, numbness of limbs, crooked corners of the mouth, slurred speech, and even disturbance of consciousness. If the cerebral infarction area is too large or if treatment is not timely, there will be left limb movement disorders, etc.

Therefore, in order to reduce the incidence of cerebral infarction, we must start from life. First, eat a low-salt, low-fat, low-sugar diet, do not overeat, quit smoking and alcohol; secondly, develop the habit of exercise. Many People are busy with work, but apart from work, they just eat, drink, sleep, and are too lazy to exercise. For the sake of health, we must make changes; finally, regular physical examinations are the only way to early detection and early treatment.

Cerebral infarction is also called ischemic stroke. Due to various reasons, the blood supply to the brain is blocked, resulting in ischemia, hypoxia and necrosis of the brain tissue. Corresponding neurological deficits will occur. Why is it that people around 45 years old There are so many patients with cerebral infarction, which is mainly caused by the following reasons.

1. Arteriosclerosis. Atherosclerosis will occur when you are over 45 years old. This is also the most basic cause of cerebral infarction. Hypertension often occurs. If you have high blood sugar and high blood lipids, It can accelerate the formation of atherosclerosis, cause cerebral atherosclerosis, and cause the formation of lumen narrowing plaques. If it is in any part of the internal carotid artery and vertebrobasilar artery, it may also occur. There is initial occlusion.

2. If you have irregular eating habits for a long time, do not have good living habits, and do not pay attention to your body, cerebral artery ischemia and hypoxia will occur. In severe cases, functional defects and neurological deficits may occur. change.

3. Long-term smoking and drinking, especially cigarette smoke, can seriously damage blood vessels and arteriosclerosis. A small amount of nicotine may aggravate the formation of atherosclerosis and cause blood vessel ischemia and hypoxia, which will induce Insufficient blood supply.

4. The formation of microthrombi mainly comes from the rupture and shedding of plaques and abdominal wall thrombi when atherosclerosis is unstable. Coupled with the obstruction of small arteries by cholesterol crystal microemboli, it will cause The blood and brain tissue are hypoxic. When the embolus is broken or dissolved and transferred to the soft end, the blood flow is restored and the symptoms are relieved.

Cerebral infarction is only a type of acute cerebrovascular disease. If there is persistent cerebral arteriosclerosis, long-term hypertension, arteriosclerosis or arterial stenosis, heart disease, changes in blood components and blood Dynamic changes, for a variety of reasons, can cause peripheral atherosclerosis and arteritis, which can also cause arterial stenosis. Therefore, lesions such as insufficient blood supply, ischemia and hypoxia can occur.

There are many reasons for the rejuvenation of cerebral infarction. The most common ones are the "three highs" and the factors of vascular damage caused by various reasons

The "three highs" refer to Hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia are all diseases that can cause vascular endothelial damage. After the vascular endothelium is damaged, lipids are deposited to form plaques. If the plaques are ruptured, platelets will aggregate to form thrombus. If the thrombus occurs in the blood vessels of the brain tissue, cerebral infarction will occur.

In addition to the "three highs", many factors such as smoking, alcoholism, obesity and bad lifestyle can also cause damage and stenosis of blood vessels. When the stenosis of blood vessels reaches a certain level, it will cause various defects. Hemorrhagic cerebrovascular disease is not just cerebral infarction.

Insufficient understanding and lack of attention to cerebrovascular disease are also important reasons for the high incidence of cerebral infarction

Many people who have not experienced severe cerebrovascular symptoms even have various symptoms of cerebrovascular disease. Risk factors rarely pay attention to prevention and treatment knowledge in this area. People generally pay more attention to symptoms. Many people have no symptoms. No matter how high their blood pressure or blood lipids are, they will not improve it, let alone take medicine for treatment. Over time, they eventually develop cerebral infarction.

In addition, a considerable number of people do not pay attention to issues such as the "three highs" and do not take medicine even if their blood pressure is high. They think that there is no need to take medicine if the blood pressure is not high enough. Obesity makes it difficult to make the determination to lose weight, not to mention quitting smoking, limiting alcohol, exercising, etc. This is why the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in young and middle-aged men is much higher than that of women.

All in all, there are many causes of cerebral infarction, and few people can do particularly good prevention. Friends who are interested in this knowledge can read some of the information I posted about cerebral infarction. Popular science video, I believe you will definitely gain something.

In recent years, the number of people in their forties and fifties suffering from cerebral infarction has indeed increased. In recent years, our small company of 200 people has had many such cases. As far as I know, they are not busy at work and have good family conditions, but they have the following hobbies:

They like to eat and drink, are addicted to alcohol, smoke constantly, and are overweight.

The night life is rich, and I like to go out early and come back late at night. Either to play mahjong or to eat, drink, and sing karaoke. Sometimes I can play all night on weekends.

I think that for people around 50, having these living habits may not cause cerebral infarction, but it is definitely bad for the body. What do you think?
