Uncle Sun is 68 years old this year, his usual living habits are not very good, he occasionally smokes, and he likes to drink, and he can drink almost at home.
However, I was diagnosed with high blood pressure half a year ago, and the doctor said that I should quit smoking and stop drinking, otherwise it will be difficult to stabilize my blood pressure, and my brain and heart will be greatly affected.
At the beginning, Uncle Sun still listened to the doctor, and with the supervision of his family, he really stopped drinking, but he didn't last long and secretly drank alcohol, and he didn't take blood pressure medicine on time.
After doing this a few times, Uncle Sun didn't feel any changes in his body, and began to be unscrupulous.
During a time when I went out to buy vegetables and the owner of the vegetable stall quarreled, I suddenly fell to the ground in a state of emotion, and the people around quickly dialed 120, but no one stepped forward to take a look at Uncle Sun, and they didn't dare to move.
In the end, Uncle Sun was sent to the hospital and was diagnosed with cerebral infarction, but it was still too late and no one was rescued.
In fact, cerebral infarction and myocardial infarction are relatively common diseases, and the sudden mortality rate is very high, most people call 120 at the first time, but in fact, they should do these things at the first time.
1. Signs of myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction
First of all, let's take a look at the signs of myocardial infarction, before the onset of myocardial infarction, patients may have obvious vertigo, and the frequency and duration of this vertigo will become severe with the aggravation of the condition.
Vertigo caused by myocardial infarction is caused by a lack of blood supply to the brain due to a failure in the pumping function, so there will be significant vertigo.
A myocardial infarction can also cause a more pronounced arrhythmia, and a normal and healthy heart needs nourished blood to beat normally.
Once a myocardial infarction occurs, it means that the blood supply cannot be supplied normally, which will lead to problems with the beating rhythm of the heart, which may cause the heart to beat fast and slow, showing an irregular beat.
Chest pain may also occur before the onset of myocardial infarction, and the normal onset time is about one week to two weeks before the onset of myocardial infarction, and the number of chest pain and pain sensation will increase as the disease progresses.
Some patients also have a more pronounced toothache before the onset of myocardial infarction, because the condition has progressed to the point of myocardial ischemia, which is a cardiac toothache.
These are the symptoms that appear before the onset of a myocardial infarction, so let's take a look at what are the signs before the onset of a cerebral infarction.
The most common symptom of cerebral infarction is dizziness and headache, which is a brain disease, and naturally these two common symptoms cannot be avoided, because of the ischemia of brain tissue, resulting in dizziness and headache.
Generally, there will be such a signal in the head before the onset of the disease, and as the condition becomes more severe, the number of dizziness and headaches will increase.
After that, it can also lead to uncontrolled body movement, common limb numbness and inability to move limbs flexibly.
The brain belongs to the body's control system, and when there is insufficient blood supply and hypoxia, it will cause damage to the functional areas of the brain, resulting in the brain being unable to transmit signals and control limb activities.
In the same way, before the onset of the disease, there will be cases where you cannot understand or understand words, which is also caused by damage to the functional areas of the brain.
In addition, it will also cause a decrease in strength or a black eye.
Because cerebral ischemia affects the nerves and blood vessels around vision, it destroys the retina, so vision problems can occur.
Some patients will also have significant memory loss, because the brain is our functional area, and the brain will be injured and will have problems such as being unable to remember things very clearly, or having difficulty concentrating.
In fact, if it can be detected as early as possible to avoid the outbreak of the disease, and to avoid missing the best treatment time, it can improve the quality of life of patients in the future or save lives.
And when the disease occurs, most people's first reaction is to call 120 and wait for the ambulance to come, in fact, the first thing to do may not be this, 120 must be called, but also to do these things.
Second, myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction should be done as soon as possible
120 is a must, and when dialing 120, you must quickly and accurately report the address and the patient's situation.
The main thing is to describe the age and symptoms at the time of onset, so that the ambulance staff can quickly arrive at the scene and prepare for first aid.
In addition, at the same time, it is important to pay attention to the patient's condition, rather than doing nothing and waiting for 120 to come to first aid, because the situation at that time is better, and the follow-up treatment will have a better effect.
At the same time, the patient should be kept in a sitting position and leaned forward, mainly to reduce the burden on the heart.
In addition, when a person is lying down, the blood flow rate will slow down, which will lead to a more dangerous heart attack and cerebral infarction.
After that, it is necessary to loosen the patient's clothes as much as possible to keep the clothes not just wrapped around the body, so that the pressure on the heart and brain can be reduced, and more time can be bought for the patient.
For family members, it is necessary to monitor the patient's condition, if there are dangerous symptoms such as weakened breathing and skin color change, it means that they may be about to lose their breath, and it is best to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
For those who have elderly people at home, it is recommended to learn cardiopulmonary resuscitation so that they can wait for the arrival of an ambulance in times of crisis.
Of course, in the face of this situation, as a person close to you, you must pay attention to stabilize your emotions and not panic.
For patients, every second is very precious, and the person who needs to be around them can be in a state of emotional stability, brain clarity, and be able to pay attention to the patient's state at all times.
It is also important to keep the patient alone until the ambulance arrives, as this is also to prevent danger from happening.
In addition to these, if you do not have a medical professional at home, it is not recommended to drive yourself to the hospital.
Because in the process of self-driving, the degree of bumps and some accidents of the vehicle cannot be predicted, which may lead to the delay of the condition.
The above are the measures that need to be taken in the event of a sudden myocardial infarction, in fact, dialing 120 is right, but it is also necessary to confirm the patient's condition as soon as possible.
In this way, it is possible to describe the patient's state to a professional doctor, rather than doing nothing and waiting for an ambulance to come.
This is likely to result in the patient losing their lives before the ambulance arrives.
As a very common cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, myocardial infarction has a relatively high mortality rate and disability rate, which poses a certain threat to health and life.
In life, we should pay attention to the prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, so how to do it?
3. Prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases
The first is the management of diet, which should be multifaceted. The first thing to do is to eat three meals a day regularly and quantitatively.
Nowadays, there are many elderly people who have a very perfunctory breakfast, they may only eat white rice porridge with pickles, and even some elderly people do not eat breakfast and lunch together.
This lack of three meals can lead to a lack of nutrients, and as a very important breakfast of the day, if you don't eat it, you may be in a state of exhaustion throughout the day.
In addition to regular rations, it is necessary to diversify the diet. Dietary diversity means that all kinds of ingredients should be consumed in moderation to ensure balanced nutrition.
Many people think that older people want to eat light, so they will choose to eat mainly vegetarian dishes. In fact, no matter how old people are, they should pay attention to the combination of meat and vegetables in their diet.
There should be meat and vegetables to ensure balanced nutrition, replenish enough energy to the body, and ensure the normal function of various tissues and organs in the body.
In addition, it is necessary to emphasize some dietary principles, such as low fat, low salt, and less sugar. For the elderly, if they can do these points, they will not exceed the normal range of physical indicators.
It can effectively prevent many chronic underlying diseases, and a low-fat and low-salt diet will not lead to excessive fat accumulation in the body, which can effectively control weight and prevent the induction of underlying diseases.
In addition to managing your diet, you should also keep exercising. Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are a great threat to life, and will also lead to shortening people's life expectancy.
Therefore, we must develop healthy living habits and insist on exercising to improve physical fitness and enhance cardiopulmonary function. It is beneficial to strengthen the function of various organs, improve blood circulation speed and metabolic speed, and better prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
In addition to exercising, it is also important to have enough rest time and not stay up late.
Because long-term sleep deprivation can easily lead to an increase in blood pressure, complications caused by high blood pressure include severe myocardial infarction or cerebral infarction.
Normally, if you haven't slept after 11 o'clock, it can be called staying up late.
For the elderly, staying up late will present a greater problem, so reasonable sleep is very important to help prevent a variety of diseases and protect cardiovascular health.
The last point of prevention is to quit bad habits, the main one is tobacco and alcohol.
The harmful substances in tobacco and alcohol enter the body, which will damage the blood vessels, which is not conducive to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health, and is also easy to increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
summary
Myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction are common diseases nowadays, and they do not appear suddenly, but they also have some symptoms.
It's just that older people always feel that some minor ailments in their body, such as dizziness, headache or chest tightness and shortness of breath, are not a big problem, so that they miss the best time for treatment.
Don't panic when you have a sudden heart attack and cerebral infarction, especially as a family member, it's right to call 120.
However, before that, it is necessary to confirm the patient's condition and describe it to the medical staff in time, so that it is also convenient for the medical staff to rescue in time after arriving at the scene.
Instead of doing nothing after hitting 120, that would probably deprive the patient of the chance to live.
