Stroke is more common in the elderly with cardiovascular disease, which is fatally dangerous, and even if it is treated promptly and effectively, the damage caused by stroke to the brain is irreparable. Most people who survive a stroke lose their ability to take care of themselves.
Therefore, friends with poor cardiovascular disease must pay attention to the prevention of stroke. In fact, there are some precursors to a stroke.
A hidden stroke signal on the thumb
Stroke is mostly caused by cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and the human hand and brain are connected, so when there is a cardiovascular problem, it will appear on the finger belly of the thumb on the hand.
Clinically, it has also been found that many stroke patients have such horizontal lines on the thumb and fingers. If you have cardiovascular disease and have horizontal lines on your fingers, you should be vigilant.
Another 3 precursors of stroke
Of course, stroke is not only a sign of horizontal lines on the hands, but if any of the following 3 signs appear at the same time as horizontal lines, you must seek medical attention immediately.
1. The tongue sticks out and tilts to one side;
2. Sudden aphasia or slurred language;
3. There is no serious cervical spondylosis, but numbness occurs in the middle finger.
When these 3 conditions occur, it often means that you have had a mild stroke, and you must see a doctor in time and treat it in time to prevent further deterioration of the condition.
In life, the elderly should pay attention to the prevention of stroke, and can often do the following set of "thumb exercises" to prevent diseases.
The method is very simple, rub the thumb and middle finger of the hand against each other, 81 times per session, do 3 sessions each time, 3 times a day, of course, the more times you do it, the better.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that cardiovascular diseases are mostly caused by blood stasis in the heart, and this set of finger exercises can promote blood circulation, reduce the situation of blood stasis, and naturally prevent stroke.
Of course, the elderly with cardiovascular disease must insist on taking medicine for treatment, which is also a condition for the prevention of stroke.
