The cold current in winter often makes people wince and shiver. Many people try to keep warm by curling up and sleeping under covers. Beijing has entered the alternate season of autumn and winter, and the cold air frequently attacks. At this time, more patients are treated in hospitals than before, many of them due to cerebrovascular diseases.
Experts remind that after entering autumn and winter, the incidence rate of cerebrovascular diseases is significantly higher than that in summer. The lower the temperature, the higher the heat “running away” from the head. Therefore, it is important to keep the head warm, especially for the elderly with chronic diseases.
cerebrovascular diseases are “invincible” to cold air
Dr. Qian Hai said that cold air is an “accomplice” in cold seasons, and cerebrovascular diseases are often “inferior” to cold air. Statistics show that cerebrovascular diseases usually have a peak mortality rate one day and five days after the cold air transits.
For those who are old and weak and those who suffer from the above diseases, it is easy to cause diseases, leading to deterioration of the condition and even death.
Although the onset of stroke is fast, there is also a process before the onset, and some early signals appear. Transient blackness (that is, sudden blackness in the eyes, which can be alleviated in a few seconds or 1-2 minutes), unilateral narrowing of visual field, diplopia (seeing objects in pairs), hemiplegia or unilateral limb weakness or clumsiness, hemiplegia or unilateral limb numbness, hemiplegia or unilateral limb sensory abnormality, aphasia (or language disadvantage), inability to understand language, inability to name people or objects, memory loss, dizziness or dizziness, inability to walk balanced, facial paralysis, diet, water choking Unclear articulation (ambiguous speech), etc. The disease has the characteristics of high incidence rate, high disability rate, high recurrence rate, high mortality rate and many complications. If we can understand these and take measures to treat them, the harm will be greatly reduced, and even the stroke can be effectively controlled.
cerebrovascular “warmth” trick
To avoid the occurrence of cerebrovascular diseases, we can do a good job of prevention in daily life. We should eat a balanced diet at ordinary times, try to eat less salt, sugar and oil, eat more vegetables and fruits at regular intervals, eat less animal fats and viscera, and often maintain a happy mood to stabilize our emotions; Try not to drink tobacco and alcohol, and arrange regular exercise for 30 minutes three times a week to promote blood circulation, accelerate metabolism, and increase muscle and blood vessel elasticity.
In addition, cold weather will promote the occurrence of cerebrovascular diseases, so we must do a good job in keeping warm, drink more water, eat more vegetables and fruits every day, and exercise appropriately; Take blood pressure, blood sugar and blood fat regularly, and remember to take medicine on time.
