What are the symptoms of cerebral infarction in women

Cerebral infarction is a disease that poses a great threat to the patient's health. Patients with cerebral infarction may suffer from paralysis at the mildest level or coma at the worst level. In short, they are unable to take care of themselves in daily life. Therefore, patients should be actively treated in the early stages of cerebral infarction symptoms, which can prevent the disease from worsening and enable patients to recover as soon as possible. Therefore, everyone needs to understand some symptoms of cerebral infarction. Below we will introduce in detail several major symptoms of cerebral infarction in women.

There will be some signs of cerebral infarction in the early stages, which will appear suddenly in front of the eyes and recover after a few seconds, without being accompanied by nausea, vomiting, impaired consciousness and limb paralysis. This is caused by reduced blood flow to the brain or by tiny blood clots passing through the retinal arteries. Because the ophthalmic artery is the first branch of the carotid artery and is most sensitive to carotid artery sclerosis, stenosis, and ischemia, amaurosis can be regarded as the earliest warning sign of cerebral infarction.

Paroxysmal attacks of blurred vision or visual field loss usually recover on their own within an hour. This is caused by occlusion of the central retinal artery or its branch arteries due to reduced cerebral blood flow, but no cranial nerve signs have appeared yet, which can be regarded as an early warning signal of cerebral infarction.

2. Frequent yawning:

This is caused by the gradual aggravation of cerebral arteriosclerosis, the narrowing of the lumen, and the increasing cerebral ischemia and hypoxia. According to statistics, 80% of people who yawn frequently will have symptoms of cerebral infarction within 5-10 days before the onset of cerebral infarction. So don't ignore this signal.

It often happens when the patient turns the head to one side while shaving. The patient suddenly feels weak in the fingers and the razor falls to the ground. Some patients may speak unclearly and recover after 1-2 minutes. This is because when you turn your head, the already hardened carotid artery twists, aggravating the stenosis. This phenomenon is enough to warn people that cerebral infarction can occur at any time.

That is, transient hemiplegia or monoplegia occurs. The symptoms and signs of cerebral infarction may be accompanied by aphasia, but the duration is short and most patients recover completely within 24 hours, which indicates that there has been a mild cerebral infarction. It can be regarded as a precursor to progressive or complete cerebral infarction.

5. Blood pressure of the elderly fluctuates dramatically or surges:

Symptoms such as worsening headache, dizziness, tinnitus, mental tension, fatigue and drowsiness indicate the possibility of hemorrhagic stroke.
