Before the "sudden attack" of cerebral infarction, it is necessary to grasp these nine precursors, and "protect life" at the critical moment

Cerebral infarction, also known as ischemic stroke, is a common disease in the elderly. The main cause of cerebral infarction is the disorder of blood supply in the brain.

The reason why people are afraid of this disease is that it has the characteristics of acute onset and serious harm. If it is not treated in time, it will cause serious physical and mental damage to the patients, and even lead to brain death.

It is because of this, we need to understand what kind of symptoms before the onset of cerebral infarction, so as to better deal with.

1. Dizziness

Although dizziness is a common phenomenon in life, it should not be ignored, especially in the elderly. If sudden dizziness always appears in recent time and returns to normal after a few seconds, we should be on high alert. It may be caused by transient cerebral ischemia.

2. Numbness

Before the onset of cerebral infarction, patients sometimes feel numbness in one side of the limb, and the movement of the limb will be limited. Some people even have numbness in the tongue, face and lip.

The most obvious symptoms are crooked mouth and drooling, which is also the cause of insufficient blood supply to the lateral artery.

3. Amaurosis

If your eyesight suddenly turns black and you can't see objects, after a few seconds or a few minutes to gradually recover, we should pay attention to whether the cerebral infarction is coming.

The reason for this phenomenon is that there is a decrease in intracranial blood flow in the brain, or tiny thrombi affect the retinal artery.

4. Drowsiness

If you always yawn and feel sleepy, it should be cerebral arteriosclerosis caused by hypoxia in the respiratory center. With the development of the disease, the arterial lumen will gradually narrow, which will lead to cerebral ischemia and drowsiness.

5. Abnormal gait

If the elderly's gait changes suddenly, and accompanied by numbness and weakness, it may be a precursor of cerebral infarction.

Especially in patients with high blood pressure, if the performance of repeated vertigo within a day, must be timely medical treatment.

6. Inexplicable fall

In the case of insufficient blood supply to the brain, it will lead to limb dysfunction or balance disorders, so the elderly are prone to fall, which is also the main symptom of cerebral infarction.

7. Irritability

Mental and language abnormalities also belong to one of the precursors of cerebral infarction, in addition to the performance of unclear speech and writing difficulties, personality will also have great changes, especially usually good tempered people, suddenly become irritable, hot temper, we must be highly vigilant.

8. Headache

Headache is a common physiological phenomenon in life, but do not confuse the common headache with the pain of cerebral infarction.

If the headache caused by cerebral infarction, sometimes migraine, sometimes the whole head pain, and feel very strong, like being pressed by something, in fact, the cause of this result is cerebral vasospasm or vascular blockage.

9. Choking when drinking water

In normal condition, people drink water smoothly.

But before cerebral infarction comes, the patient's throat nerve is likely to be damaged, leading to local paralysis, so it is impossible to pass the action of drinking water to the brain, and then the problem of choking when drinking water appears.

In a word, in order to avoid the sudden attack of cerebral infarction, we must master some symptoms that may appear before the onset of cerebral infarction, such as headache, irritability, drowsiness and so on.

If you can find these abnormal manifestations in time, go to the hospital for examination and treatment, maybe you can avoid the harm of cerebral infarction.
