Symptoms and nursing methods of cerebral ischemia

Ischemic brain disease is a common disease among the elderly. Its main symptoms include dizziness, headache, memory loss, insomnia and forgetfulness, which will have many adverse effects on the patient's normal life. In addition, if insufficient blood supply to the brain is not treated in time, it may even lead to more serious diseases such as cerebral infarction or Alzheimer's disease. Below, we will introduce the symptoms and care methods of cerebral ischemia in detail.

1. What is cerebral ischemia?

Cerebral ischemia was first proposed by Japanese medical scientists in 1990. It refers to a disease in which various reasons lead to chronic and widespread blood supply deficiency in the brain, causing cerebral ischemia and hypoxia, resulting in a series of clinical manifestations of brain dysfunction.

Cerebral ischemia is a common and frequently occurring disease among middle-aged and elderly people. Domestic and foreign medical scientists have also found through extensive research that in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease and cerebral infarction, there has been a long-term lack of blood supply to the brain. If the lack of blood supply to the brain is not treated in time, it may also cause Alzheimer's disease and cerebral infarction. Therefore, insufficient blood supply to the brain is also called the "invisible killer" that threatens the health of middle-aged and elderly people.

2. Early symptoms of insufficient blood supply to the heart and brain:

1. Recurrent symptoms of dizziness, heavy head, and headache, as well as irritability, tinnitus, irritability, insomnia, memory loss, lack of concentration, and forgetfulness (e.g., inability to remember recent events).

2. Have a history of hypertension or retinal arteriosclerosis.

3. Neurological examination was normal.

4. No cerebral hemorrhage was found in head CT or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

5. TCD shows changes of cerebral arteriosclerosis, occlusion or stenosis.

3. What to do if there is insufficient blood supply to the heart and brain?

1. Eat until 80% full. Changing eating habits and eating until you are 70% to 80% full can reduce the degree of periodic cardiovascular and cerebrovascular ischemia throughout the day. It is recommended to drink 500 ml of milk, eat 100 grams of pasta, 1 egg and 100 grams of beef or mutton, chicken, or fish in the morning; eat 300 grams of vegetables and 200 grams of staple food for lunch, and eat 150 grams of fruit after a nap; eat 200 grams of vegetables and 100 grams of soy products for dinner. These food amounts are roughly 70% to 80% of an adult's food intake. Such a dietary structure will effectively reduce a person's periodic cardiovascular and cerebrovascular ischemia.

2. Good sleep. Before going to bed, you can listen to some light music, take a cold shower, or drink a bag of cold yogurt, all of which will help you fall asleep as soon as possible. Naps are very important for fat people, and they should stick to the approach of "I will take a nap even if the sky falls."

3. Be calm. Think less and reduce anxiety to avoid excessive anger and induce heart and brain diseases. In summer, the heart fire is strong. Chinese medicine health experts recommend that obese people reduce their thoughts, especially those involving many interpersonal relationships, so as to avoid excessive heart fire and induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Fat people should take a bath at least twice a day, firstly to ensure skin health, and secondly to bring a good mood.

4. The exercise intensity is low. Moderate exercise is the best way to prevent and treat obesity. It can reduce fat accumulation and lower pathogenic blood lipids.
