Time: 2018-11-08

As soon as winter arrived, the incidence of stroke quietly increased. In the five acupuncture wards of the first affiliated hospital of heilongjiang university of Chinese medicine, the number of stroke patients quietly increased. According to Chen yinghua, director of the five divisions of acupuncture and moxibustion in the hospital, stroke is a sudden onset of cerebral blood circulation disorder disease, with a very high mortality and disability rate. At present, about 2.5 million people suffer from stroke every year, 1.5 million die from stroke, and 70% of the survivors are mostly with hemiplegic aphasia and other disabilities. The five-year recurrence rate is over 40%, and the current incidence rate is still increasing rapidly by 8.7% every year.

Early identification of three methods

Chen pointed out that the most common causes of stroke are hypertension, as well as diabetes, hyperlipidemia, atrial fibrillation and unhealthy lifestyle, such as smoking, drinking too much, lack of exercise, lack of sleep, long-term mental stress or overwork. There are some signs of stroke before it happens, but it's easy to overlook because the symptoms are mild. There are several simple tests that can be used as an early reference.

One is the smile test: when you find discomfort, smile in the mirror and look at the asymmetry in the corners of your mouth. If it's asymmetrical, you can get facial paralysis. The second is a show of hands: hands flat for 10 seconds. If one side doesn't hold, you can get hemiplegia. Third is the language test: speak a word to see if fluency. If the language is incoherent and unclear, there may be language barriers.

When the symptom is serious, some people can appear suddenly vertigo, have a headache, some people still can accompany delirium, when appear these problems, must seek treatment to the hospital immediately, prevent illness aggravates further.

How to prevent stroke is the focus of attention. "Neijing" says, "it is not too late for a saint to cure a disease or a disease, or to cure a disease or a disease." In clinical, not cure disease, including "no disease prevention first", "Hyman" both "Chai defence after" three aspects; The most important thing for stroke is prevention before disease.

Four precautions against disease

How to "prevent disease before disease first", Chen yinhua gives the following advice, want to control hypertension in the life above all, strengthen the treatment to the disease such as diabetic, hyperlipidemia, heart disease. There are a few main things you need to do with your lifestyle.

Strengthening physical exercise Chen yinhua explained that exercise can relax the meridians and activate blood, and reduce the risk of stroke. Modern people are generally lack of exercise due to the change of living and working style. "Neijing" refers to "chronic eye injury blood, chronic lying injury gas, sedentary injury flesh". If lack of exercise, poor circulation of human qi machine and slow moving of qi blood can lead to the occurrence of qi deficiency and blood stasis, which is an important cause of stroke. So adults have at least five days a week, at least 30 to 45 minutes of physical activity a day, such as jogging, cycling and so on. Older people can do the following exercise.

Hand movements: one time in the morning, one time in the middle and one time in the evening.

Head massage: five fingers separately flexion, gently press from the forehead to the top of the head with finger abdomen, and then continue to press the back of the brain (effectively improve blood circulation in the brain and blood supply to the brain);

Shoulder movement: two hands on both sides of the shoulder, palm down, shoulders rotating 10 times from back to front and 10 times from front to back, hands naturally falling on both sides of the body, and shoulders lifting and relaxing 10 times each (it can relax the shoulder muscles, relieve nerve vessel pressure of neck and shoulder, and promote blood supply to the brain);

Neck massage and neck movement: five fingers together, hands on the back of the neck, left and right sides, massage skin to slightly red heat appropriate. About 30 up and down massages. After that, the neck relaxes, rotates around and around peacefully and soothingly, and the movement should be slow, which can be done by 10 cycles (it can promote the relaxation of the vascular smooth muscle of the neck, reduce the blood fat deposition and increase the pressure and toughness of the blood vessels).

Two - foot circle, ankle movement: tiptoe as the axis circle, ankle movement, 30 times each, can dredge the relevant meridian, but also can stimulate the joint around the shu points, to balance Yin and Yang, the role of harmonizing qi-blood.

In the medical invention, li dongyuan put forward the reasonable diet: "the apoplexy, non-exogenous wind evil, is the original qi disease, the mortal over 40 years old, the gas decline has this disease, when the age of the age has no also. If you are fat, there is a correlation between fat and gas, and this is also true for those who are ", recognizing the relationship between obesity and stroke. Chen yinghua stressed that in daily life, we must pay attention to the "festival of eating and drinking", less food paste liang thick taste. Can absorb animal protein moderately, if lean meat, fish, poultry, etc. Reduce your salt intake to no more than 6 grams per day, and increase your potassium intake by adding fresh fruits and vegetables.

Eliminate bad lifestyle avoid smoking, drinking and staying up late. Advocate regular life work and rest, maintain defecate is unobstructed, avoid because force defecate and make blood pressure rises sharply, bring about cerebrovascular disease.

Keep warm "suan feng theory" cloud: "the wind, the long of all diseases", "suan bone empty theory" also cloud: "the wind, the beginning of all diseases", stroke. In the theoretical system of TCM, apoplexy can be divided into internal apoplexy and external apoplexy. Before the tang and song dynasties, there were many external theories, such as the synopsis of the golden chamber, stroke and rickets syndrome and treatment. The pulse is small and few, resulting in stroke. Chen said modern medicine also believes cold can raise blood pressure and adversely affect cardiovascular and cerebrovascular conditions. Therefore, the prevention of stroke is very meaningful in cold and warm, just as the nei jing says, "sometimes it is a bad idea to avoid it". Should gradually adapt to the ambient temperature, indoor air conditioning temperature should not be too high, to avoid sudden transfer from the high temperature of the environment to the temperature of the outdoor (especially the elderly), outside attention to warm.

Finally, Chen pointed out that the above method is to prevent stroke through lifestyle changes. In addition, the "trinity" of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture and rehabilitation can be used in clinical treatment of stroke. Patients with hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hyperhomocysteine should be tested regularly and controlled carefully. For patients who have already had a stroke, they should also pay attention to adjusting their lifestyle to prevent another stroke, prevent the disease from happening, and finally achieve the goal of promoting health.
