So far, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are still the "number one killer" of human health, and they are also one of the most feared diseases among middle-aged and elderly people. Because of this, as soon as many people get older, they begin to study various ways to open blood vessels, for fear that one day their blood vessels will be blocked. However, the more you are afraid of something, the more you will be afraid of something, and the wrong method will not only have no effect, but will not outweigh the losses.

63-year-old Uncle Liang was originally a person who cherished his life, and after retirement, he also started his own health path, spending almost all his savings and pension on health, but some time ago he was admitted to the hospital with a sudden cerebral infarction, leaving the sequelae of hemiplegia, and now he can't take care of himself. Uncle Liang couldn't figure it out, in order to prevent the blood vessels from clogging, he did almost everything he could, why did the blood vessels be blocked when he said they were blocked?

Mistake 1: Uncle Liang did do a lot to protect his blood vessels, but he never found a true way to maintain his health. He had high blood pressure for a long time, but he did not pay attention to the importance of medication, but because he was worried about the side effects of the drug, he refused to take medicine, and chose some health products, even home remedies, but his blood pressure was never well controlled, which invisibly increased his risk of cerebral infarction. On the contrary, in terms of diet and life, he didn't care too much, he still ate whatever he wanted, and felt that eating well and being happy was health.

Mistake 2: Uncle Liang has always had a lot of opinions on Western medicine and Western medicine, not only did he not take medicine when he had high blood pressure, but he also did not go to the doctor, he usually measured his blood pressure occasionally, and never went to the hospital for a recheck. In fact, just a few months before his cerebral infarction, he had a small stroke, once when riding a bicycle, he suddenly felt that his left hand could not hold the handlebar, but it was only transient, he did not take it to heart, and then several times he was eating and suddenly the chopsticks fell, which did not attract his attention. Even though his wife reminded him to go to the hospital for a checkup, he still resolutely refused.

The wrong way of health preservation, coupled with the negligence of his own abnormal symptoms, finally made Uncle Liang miss the best time for treatment, and he could have lived a good life, but now he can only rely on others, and it is too late to regret it.

1. How are blood vessels blocked?

Many people who have a sudden cerebral infarction or heart attack can't understand why my blood vessels are blocked. Obviously he was very careful, why didn't he escape? How do blood vessels get blocked?

The cause of blood vessel blockage is also very complicated, in the long run, it is the bane planted in youth, and in the short term, it is the inevitability of many diseases. To put it simply, it is the consequence of a bad lifestyle and the induction of disease.

Step 1: Occurrence of atherosclerosis.

Nowadays, people's living conditions are better, the diet is becoming more and more abundant, the travel is becoming more and more convenient, and the physical labor is gradually changing to mental work, and the result is that they eat well, move less, weigh more and more heavily, and the blood vessels are becoming more and more blocked. When you are young, you may not feel it, but in fact, the lipids in the blood vessels have accumulated more and more, which is the bane of youth. According to research, atherosclerosis has already appeared in youth, and then it will become more and more serious, and the more unhealthy the life, the more it will accelerate its development, and the results can be imagined.

Step 2: Occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

When you are older, atherosclerotic plaques have formed, and if you don't pay attention to them at this time, some chronic diseases will come to your door, such as high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, and high blood sugar, which are the culprits that accelerate the progress of plaques, and the result is that the plaques grow bigger and bigger, and the blood vessels become more and more blocked, until one day the blood vessels are completely blocked, and diseases such as cerebral infarction and myocardial infarction occur.

2. What are the aura manifestations of vascular blockage?

Winter is the period of high incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and many people feel that the blockage of blood vessels is very sudden, but in fact, there are early signs, but because it is transient, it is usually not taken seriously, and when it is serious, it is too late to seek medical attention.

1. Prophet of Hands and Feet: As the end of blood circulation, hands and feet are the first to perceive abnormalities once the blood vessels are blocked. Because the blood circulation is not smooth, it cannot reach the limbs, and the hands and feet will be cold, numb, weak, and even swollen and painful. In addition, the brain is responsible for the motor function of the limbs, and once the cerebral blood vessels are blocked, it will also lead to movement disorders, the most common of which is numbness and weakness of the limbs, manifested as falling objects, intermittent claudication, etc.

15. Palpitation and chest tightness: coronary artery blockage is also very common, the most important manifestation of which is palpitation, chest tightness, chest pain, etc., especially after physical exertion, after violent mood swings, after strenuous exercise, etc., also known as exertional chest pain, which is a typical manifestation of coronary heart disease, if the pain lasts for more than 0 minutes, and repeatedly, you need to be alert to the possibility of myocardial infarction.

3. Headache and dizziness: headache and dizziness are manifestations of cerebral vascular blockage, which is related to insufficient blood supply to the brain, in addition to slurred speech, difficulty in spitting words, blurred vision, frequent yawning, drooling, memory loss, lack of concentration, etc., which are all manifestations of insufficient blood supply to the brain, and inexplicable occurrence needs to be paid attention to.

3. What should be done to prevent blood vessel blockage?

1. Control the three highs: As people get older, blood pressure, blood lipids and blood sugar are easy to get out of control, and the three highs are the culprits that lead to blood vessel blockage. Therefore, if you want the blood vessels to be unblocked, you must control the three highs, once you find that the abnormality is elevated, you must seek medical attention in time, and if necessary, you need to take drugs for life to control them, and do not refuse to use drugs and stop taking drugs without authorization.

2. Regular check-ups: regular monitoring of hypertension, vascular lesions also need to be checked regularly, especially for patients who are at high risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, be sure to insist on at least one physical examination every year, including routine blood pressure, blood lipids, blood sugar, liver and kidney function and other indicators, as well as electrocardiogram, carotid color ultrasound, brain CT and other cardiovascular and cerebrovascular status examinations.

3. Manage life well: the development of good living habits must be the basis for protecting cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, especially for middle-aged and elderly people, do not follow their will, keep their mouths shut in their diet, stay away from high-salt, high-fat and high-sugar foods, eat more light vegetables and fruits, eat seven or eight minutes full, and regularly and quantitatively; In terms of exercise, we should develop good habits and insist on half an hour of aerobic exercise every day; Have a regular schedule and avoid staying up late; Quit smoking and alcohol as soon as possible; Relieve stress, regulate emotions, and maintain a peaceful state of mind; Manage your weight, etc.
