Frozen hands and feet may cause stroke! Remember the key points of prevention!

Under the influence of strong cold air

After the rain, the wind comes

Wake up and it feels like winter has arrived

Cold air strikes

The temperature drop in November is no longer easy to stop

It's time to wear hats, gloves and scarves again

Everyone should prepare their winter gear.

In addition to the discomfort of "frozen hands and feet"

This is often the peak period for stroke.

“A precipitous drop in temperature”

For patients with weak cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, it can be described as "adding insult to injury".

Stroke is the "number one killer" of the life and health of Chinese residents, with the "five highs" characteristics of high incidence, high disability rate, high mortality rate, high recurrence rate and high economic burden.
Why does cold weather trigger stroke?

1. When the human body is in a cold environment, the peripheral blood vessels contract, the peripheral resistance increases, and the blood pressure rises, which will increase the fibrin in the blood and the blood viscosity, easily leading to thrombosis.

2. Under the stimulation of cold, the body's hormone secretion will increase, causing increased vascular tension and blood pressure, leading to the occurrence of stroke.

3. Under the stimulation of cold, the blood supply of cerebral collateral circulation will be affected and cannot effectively play its protective role, which can easily aggravate the occurrence of cerebral ischemic stroke.

The main risk factors for stroke include hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, atrial fibrillation, smoking, heavy drinking, unreasonable diet, overweight or obesity, lack of exercise, psychological factors, family history of stroke , etc.

When dealing with cold weather, people with stroke and those at high risk should take measures to keep warm, try to reduce going out, and keep their head, chest, back, neck and limbs warm when they need to go out. At the same time, they should take a rest, increase physical exercise appropriately, improve their resistance, and pay attention to climate change.

How to prevent stroke from occurring or recurring?

The prevention of stroke should focus on the "four cornerstones of health" of proper diet, moderate exercise, smoking cessation and alcohol restriction, and psychological balance. Developing a healthy lifestyle, regularly screening for stroke risk factors, and achieving early prevention, early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment can effectively prevent and treat stroke.

1. Pay attention to your daily life behavior:

(1) Eat a light diet; (2) Increase physical exercise moderately; (3) Overcome bad habits, such as quitting smoking and limiting alcohol consumption, and avoiding sitting for long periods of time; (4) Prevent overwork; (5) Pay attention to climate changes; (6) Keep your emotions stable; (7) Have regular health checks to prevent and treat problems as soon as possible.

2. Those with related diseases

Patients should pay attention to:

(1) Hypertensive patients should pay attention to controlling their blood pressure and take antihypertensive drugs regularly.

(2) Patients with hyperlipidemia should pay attention to controlling cholesterol, triglycerides, and low-density lipoprotein and continue to take lipid-lowering drugs.

(3) Diabetic patients and high-risk groups should actively control blood sugar.

(4) People with atrial fibrillation or other heart diseases should control risk factors related to heart disease.

Stroke is preventable and treatable. We should enhance health awareness with prevention as the main focus and actively participate.
