Stroke, also known as stroke, is more common in people with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Stroke is the "number one killer" that endangers people's health, and once it occurs, it can lead to paralysis at least and lose life at worst!
Therefore, people with poor cerebrovascular disease must pay attention to preventing stroke. Especially when these "warning signs" appear on us, don't ignore them!
A hidden stroke signal on the thumb
As the saying goes, ten fingers connect the heart. Human fingers are closely related to human organs, and different fingers correspond to different organs of the human body.
The meridians corresponding to the thumb are the lung meridians, and the corresponding organs are the heart and lungs. Therefore, when there is a problem with the cerebral blood vessels, it will manifest itself on the hand, that is, "horizontal stripes will appear on the nape of the thumb". Clinically, it has also been found that many stroke patients have this horizontal stripe on the thumb and finger of the abdomen.
Strokes are mostly caused by cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, so if you have cerebrovascular diseases and horizontal lines appear on your fingers and stomachs, you should be vigilant.
If the following situations occur, and horizontal stripes appear, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination in time.
Don't ignore these 3 stroke signs
common in our daily life, they will burp when they are hungry, they will burp when they are full, they will burp when they walk a lot, they will burp when they lie down and do not move, they will burp when they stand and they will burp when they sit...... It's really life-on-the-mill, and the hiccups don't stop.
Usually we have occasional hiccups, but it can stop within a few minutes, which is normal. But if you have frequent hiccups, long hiccups that last long, or suddenly increase in frequency, may be a precursor to a stroke.
Especially the elderly with underlying diseases such as hypertension, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and diabetes should be more vigilant! Cerebral arteriosclerosis and other diseases can cause insufficient blood supply to the brain, causing intracranial lesions to directly or indirectly affect the respiratory center, resulting in autonomic nerve dysfunction, abnormal contraction of diaphragmatic muscles, and hiccups.
At the same time, when stroke symptoms appear, stress ulcers often occur, causing upper gastrointestinal bleeding, blood irritation of the gastric mucosa, damage to the diaphragm, frequent hiccups and other manifestations.
2. It is normal for us to
when we are tired, lack of sleep, etc. However, in the absence of these conditions, frequent and continuous yawning may be due to the increasingly severe cerebral arteriosclerosis and the smaller and smaller inner diameter of blood vessels, causing chronic ischemia and hypoxia of brain tissue, and the "yawning reflex" appears.
Clinically, 80% of people who have had a stroke have frequent yawning 5~10 days before the onset.
So those who yawn incessantly, don't be sloppy!
speech
When the cerebral blood supply is insufficient, the nerves of the human body's motor function fail, and one of the common symptoms is that the speech is suddenly ineffective or the words are slurred. It is not even possible to speak, but it is of short duration, up to 24 hours, and the occurrence of such a situation should be taken seriously. At the same time, there are also unexplained crooked corners of the mouth, slurred speech, or tongue protrusion.
vision
Sudden blackness in front of the eyes and blurred vision, but after a period of rest, the vision will be restored. - This "sudden blurring" of vision is also seen as an earlier warning sign of stroke.
So what if these situations occur? What else can be done to prevent further deterioration of the condition?
"Thumb exercises" to prevent strokes
The hand is called the "second brain", The movement of the fingers can affect multiple functional areas of the brain, and there is a magical and subtle relationship between the two.
Therefore, in our daily life, if we want to prevent the occurrence of stroke, we can often do this set of "thumb exercises".
The method is very simple, rub the thumb of the hand and the finger of the middle finger or index finger against each other, 81 times per session, do 3 sessions each time, do 3 times a day, more is better.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that qi deficiency and blood stasis are the essence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. This set of thumb exercises can promote blood circulation, reduce cardiac blood stasis, and can effectively prevent the occurrence of stroke.
However, people with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases should not forget to insist on taking medicine for treatment while doing thumb exercises!
In addition to thumb exercises, we can also do some simple body movements to prevent stroke, such as:
Couples can massage each other, children can massage their parents, or they can use other people to do the massage. The blood vessels in the head are thin and long, so cerebral vascular embolism is more likely to lead to stroke. Therefore, we often massage the head to help strengthen the circulation of blood vessels in the head and prevent embolism.
The carotid artery is located in our neck and is the main source of blood supply to the brain and the most common site of arteriosclerosis. Carotid arteriosclerosis can lead to ischemia of the brain and even a stroke.
Therefore, after looking at the computer for a long time, we can turn our neck frequently, and we can also massage our neck regularly.
After rubbing your hands to heat up, massage the left and right sides of the neck, the speed is slightly faster, and the skin is hot and red, and it is advisable to do it for 4~8 minutes in the morning and evening.
Massaging the neck can reduce the deposition of blood lipids in the carotid artery, accelerate blood circulation, and prevent the formation of blood clots.
Because the shoulder and neck are connected, shoulder exercises can relieve pressure on the shoulder muscles, reduce pressure on the brain, improve blood pressure circulation in the brain, and reduce pressure on the neck.
Cross your hands behind your back and continue to pull down with force while raising your chest upwards. Do it 8 ~10 times a day. You will feel a nice stretch on your chest, shoulders, and neck.
These exercises can be done at home, exercise more, do them consistently, and stay away from strokes.
