Types and signs of cerebral vascular diseases

1 What causes the appearance of the pathology

Symptoms that can be felt by a patient are usually very general and can indicate a disease that caused them only in a complex, and then indirectly. At an early stage of the disease, a person experiences headaches and fatigue. The other specific symptoms depend on the type of disease that a person suffers from. Among the most common are the following:

• narrowing of cerebral vessels;
• aneurysm of the brain;
• spasm of cerebral vessels.

Such diseases appear for various reasons, depending on the individual characteristics of the body, lifestyle and nutrition. Doctors singled out 2 most probable causes.

1. The first of these is hypertension. Chronic increase in arterial pressure causes changes in the structure of the vessels themselves. Their walls are densified from within, which means that the space through which blood moves, which brings oxygen and other necessary substances to the brain for its normal functioning, decreases. As a result, the pressure on the vessels increases, and simultaneously with it the lack of blood supply of the brain begins.

2. Another cause of problems with cerebral vessels is atherosclerosis. The disease is associated with an increased content of fat-like substances in the blood of a person. For this reason, on the walls of the vessels, plaque and stains are first formed, which, when layered on each other, eventually transform into plaques that narrow the lumen of the vessels.

Speaking of such diseases, it is worth mentioning the huge compensatory capabilities of the body. In total, four large vessels respond to brain nutrition. At the same time, even if 3 of them fail and the entire load falls on the last one, the patient can feel only a slight malaise. But, as is known, everything has a limit and compensatory functions, including. That's why you should not check your body for strength, and after seeing the first alarming signs, you should see a doctor.

2 Narrowing of vessels

The most common disease of the vessels of the brain is their constriction. An additional factor in its occurrence, in addition to the above-described reasons, characteristic for a whole series of diseases, is hypertension. This ailment is more common in old age and is expressed in constant strong pressure jumps.

Narrowing of cerebral vessels can provoke cervical osteochondrosis, which is manifested in a change in the structure of the cervical vertebrae, which prevents normal circulation of blood.

The consequences of such violations can be the most dangerous, up to infarction and paralysis. That is why treatment for the disease is necessary.

Treatment is usually prescribed as a complex:

• drugs that reduce the amount of cholesterol in the blood to stop further narrowing of the vessels;
• drugs that improve blood flow to the brain;
• also recommends the intake of fortifying vitamin complexes;
• symptomatic treatment, depending on the causes that caused the disease.

In the presence of problems with pressure, therapy aimed at its normalization is carried out. In the case of osteochondrosis, spasmolytics and muscle relaxants are prescribed.

The treatment of constriction of cerebral vessels is usually carried out by very long courses, and maintenance therapy after it can be done for life. Since in the case of withdrawal from maintenance drugs, relapse and complications are possible.

3 How the aneurysm of

manifests All cerebrovascular diseases require attentive treatment of themselves, but an aneurysm on this list occupies a special position. This is the most serious disease, the detection of which is possible only with timely and narrow diagnosis. Characteristic symptoms, except for the often occurring pulsating headache, usually localized in the same zone, no. The remaining signs of the disease can appear with various other ailments, and it is very difficult to connect them with an aneurysm.

In this case, the disease is very dangerous and the likelihood of a lethal outcome is high. On the vessels there is a peculiar growth, which gradually increases and is filled with blood. This process for a long time can not affect the human condition in any way, until one day the build-up breaks through. It happens that people live for dozens of years without knowing about their terrible illness. At the time of a breakthrough, there is a cerebral hemorrhage. Depending on the size of the built-up edge and the area of ​​the brain in which the tear occurred, further consequences depend. Unfortunately, most often after this person can not be saved.

That is why it is especially important to identify the problem at an early stage, when by the use of medications it is possible to avoid further development of the disease. Medical control in this case is extremely necessary, because timely assistance and emergency surgical intervention at the time of rupture can save the life of the patient.

4 The clinical picture of vasospasm

This disease is also characterized by a narrowing of the vessels, although the reason for this is not a change in their structure, but a multiple and intensive reduction. With spasm of cerebral vessels, symptoms are common for this series of diseases: headache, dizziness, nausea and vomiting. In neglected cases, a consequence of such spasms may be a stroke, the recovery after which the patient will have to spend a lot of time and effort. Spasm of blood vessels occurs mainly due to severe stress, diseases of other body systems, which led to malfunctions in the vascular system.

In addition, recent spasms often occur in residents of large cities, where due to severe air pollution, the body receives a lot of toxins and little oxygen, which can trigger the onset of the disease.

Spasm is a good treatment, and neurology is improving day by day methods to combat the disease.

5 Prevention of diseases

From the above, it can be concluded that in almost all cases, if you contact a doctor in time, you can get rid of the disease or, at least, stop its further development. Therefore, it is important to do this when symptoms are detected.

Of course, no one is immune from the occurrence of such ailments, due to genetic predisposition and individual characteristics of the body, but it is possible to take preventive measures to minimize the risk.

First and foremost is a healthy and active lifestyle.

It is important to monitor the diet, exclude the entry into the body of harmful substances, including alcohol.

Strong sleep, as you know, is a guarantee of health, so they should not be neglected. It is also important to change activities frequently: physical and mental, so that the load on the body is uniform.

In addition, you need to protect your nervous system, because in the pursuit of success often forget about the rest of the holiday, and it is very necessary for a person both from the position of physiology and psychologically.
