Ischemic stroke in the elderly and to consider
Understanding cerebral ischemia, especially in older people, will help to overcome this disease and better treatment.
What is ischemic?
Impaired cerebral circulation or cerebral anemia is a disease caused by dysfunction of the brain caused by the blood vessels feeding the brain pinched, switches, narrow ... reduces blood flow to nourish the brain seriously affect the nervous system CNS Causes of ischemic? There are many causes of ischemic, in which there are two main reasons that talks low (atherosclerosis of blood vessels), blood stagnant (mainly due to degenerative cervical spine), narrowing of heart arteries, reducing blood flow to the brain.
The manifestation of ischemic?
Dizziness, vertigo, tinnitus: Enclosed headache pain is tinnitus, vertigo, dizziness, loss of balance, but especially when lying posture change as lying supine switch. Dizziness ratio relatively high proportion, about 87%. Prolonged headache: As symptoms appear earliest and most common in ischemic stroke, usually about 90% occupancy rate. Initially, only the throbbing pain in the head then spread throughout the head, aches or soreness, heavy head.
Patients with severe head feeling when moving or thinking much. Insomnia: When ischemic, some people have expressed insomnia, sleep at night, midnight not sleep, dawn to sleep. Insomnia prolonged fatigue whole body, the headset is not clear, memory decline, poor concentration, mental instability, excitable numbness, aches limb: When anemia to spending will cause the stock limb numbness aches. Patients feel numbness in the fingers, tingling. The patients appeared pain along the ribs, pain in the neck in two lines at the nape, cold sensation along the spine affecting the life and health of patients.
Impairment of memory: The phenomenon of a headache, dizziness, vertigo ... .thuong frequently occur will cause the patient declining memory, forget fast everything was happening around them. Memory impairment is the natural progression of the aging process just by aging in brain cells, brain degeneration, brain atrophy, just due to lack of blood to the brain that is the state decreased cerebral perfusion.
The risk factors leading to ischemic?
Age, gender: cerebral Tiếu common in middle-aged and elderly people, especially the mental work is intense. Men have a higher risk than women. Some people have about cardiovascular disease: high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, physical inactivity, obesity, stress, alcohol ... easy to suffer an ischemic stroke. Prevention and treatment ischemic How? In life, the elderly should have a reasonable diet, such as eating more vegetables, fruits and fish (per week should eat fish two or three meals), limiting eat meat, do not eat animal fats. Should be limited to a maximum of drink, beer. Should quit smoking or tobacco. Exercise regularly to prevent diseases such as hypertension, atherosclerosis, overweight because these diseases do occur indirectly impaired cerebral circulatory disease.
