When these signs of cerebral infarction appear, you should be careful.📡📡📡

The brain can control different functions such as language, vision, emotions, breathing, and physical activity. This can be said to be the human CPU. Because its role and functions are very important, it is very necessary for us to prevent brain diseases. But even if we try to protect our brain, as we age, the brain will decline. Cerebral infarction is a common disease of the brain. Cerebral infarction is also called ischemic stroke. This disease is caused by the ischemia of the brain tissue. It leads to necrosis of the brain tissue which can lead to sudden death in severe cases. Even after cerebral infarction is treated, there may still be sequelae such as hemiplegia and inability to take care of yourself. Timely treatment can reduce the chance of sequelae. If the following symptoms occur, you should be alert to cerebral infarction.

1. Headache and dizziness

Headaches and dizziness must have occurred in everyone, especially in middle-aged and elderly people. When the cerebral infarction is about to appear, the brain will also have symptoms first which are dizziness and headache. These two symptoms come very quickly and may return to normal in just a few minutes. This is caused by insufficient blood supply to the brain. If you often have similar problems in the recent period, you must be alert to the occurrence of cerebral infarction.

2. Stiffness on one side of the body and numbness in the face

Stiffness on one side of the body and numbness in the face are the most obvious symptom of a cerebral infarction. The patient will feel abnormal numbness on one side of the face and deviated mouth and eyes. This is because the brain can control the entire body. All the actions and languages we do must pass through the brain. When the brain is abnormal, it will affect the whole body. If there is a sudden deviated mouth and eyes and one side of the body is weak and uncontrollable, these are the major symptoms of a cerebral infarction. Once it occurs, you need to go to the hospital for examination immediately. After the diagnosis is confirmed, appropriate treatment measures should be taken to avoid cerebral infarction further developing.

3. Drooling on one side

This is one of the common signs of patients with cerebral infarction, especially when drooling in sleeping and it is to one side. This is a typical sign of cerebral infarction. Due to cerebral vascular infarction, the nerves of muscles are not coordinated, especially the oral cavity which leads to drooling and difficulty swallowing. 

4. Blurred vision

In addition, cerebral infarction can also cause damage to the optic nerve. It leads to retinal ischemia and hypoxia. Patients will usually experience blurred vision suddenly or the situation in front of the eyes will be dark. It will recover after a few seconds. This is one of the typical signals of cerebral infarction.

👉Once the above four abnormalities occur, it is absolutely necessary to be alert to the onset of cerebral infarction. Especially for middle-aged and elderly people suffering from hyperlipidemia and hypertension. It is very necessary to go to the hospital for examination if there is any abnormality.
