Carotid artery stenosis, dizziness, worsening leg pain in the body, can I have surgery?

Atherosclerotic carotid artery stenosis is often part of a systemic vascular pathopathy. Thus, controlling risk factors that can lead to atherosclerosis of the blood vessels is the basis of carotid artery stenosis**. These include:

Exercise properly, control weight, avoid obesity, quit smoking, drink less, and reasonably control blood pressure, blood sugar, blood lipids, etc. It is recommended to go to a professional hospital to take ** measures.

Your dizziness or vertigo is caused by insufficient blood supply to the brain, there may be cerebral vasospasm, due to tension and pressure and other factors, you need to relax training, advice and suggestions: it is best to use traditional Chinese medicine**, traditional Chinese medicine prescription is effective. Combined with acupuncture physiotherapy, the effect is good, especially the head acupuncture** has a special effect.

Cervical spondylosis is mostly due to cold, or long-term sedentary sitting, compressing the cervical joints, resulting in the slow flow of qi and blood in the cervical spine, and over time, the cervical joints and muscles will lack qi and blood nourishment and become stiff, tight, and blocked.

According to traditional medicine, if it hurts, it doesn't work, and if it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt.

The flow of qi and blood in the cervical spine will be blocked, which will lead to a decrease in blood supply to the head, and dizziness will occur.

To restore it, you need to strengthen your physique, nourish your qi and blood for a long time, speed up the flow of qi and blood around the body and cervical vertebrae, and unblock the blockages, and over time, the qi and blood in the body will run smoothly, then sufficient and accessible qi and blood will nourish the joints and muscles of the cervical spine and become flexible.

The best ways to cause dizziness due to carotid artery stenosis are: 1. First of all, tell you that cervical spondylosis can be good. But the key is whether you can overcome the incorrect posture and habits in your daily work and life.

For example, straighten your head and close your chin, bow your head for a long time, tilt your head to do things, lie down with your pillow crooked, etc., the process of cervical spondylosis is the process of fighting against your incorrect posture and habits. This is the most critical problem, otherwise it will not take long to cure cervical spondylosis. How does cervical spondylosis ** I tell you the way:

2. First of all, it is necessary to correct the problem of straightening or reverse arch of the physiological curvature of the cervical spine: use a beer bottle to pillow the position of the cervical spine 1 2 3. The center point of the occipital is on cervical vertebra 2 (cervical spine on beer bottle).

The back of the head must be dangling. The height of the pillow and beer bottle together is about 12 cm, which is too low for good results. Stick to it for more than 60 minutes.

Because it takes about 50 minutes to reset one cervical vertebra with the weight of the head alone. If you feel that there is pain in the cervical spine, put the painful place on the beer bottle, for example, the pain in the right side of the cervical spine 3 is pillow on the beer bottle, and the head is twisted to the right to make the painful place into a fulcrum, and the gravity of the head and the top force of the beer bottle are used to correct and reset the cervical spine. It is okay to make sure that the cervical spine does not feel painful and the head does not feel dizzy.

Your cervical spine C34 can be corrected in this way. This method has a good corrective effect on the straightening of the physiological curvature of the cervical spine. Pillow beer bottle reset, head and cervical spine numbness, this is because the pillow beer bottle affects the blood circulation, and sitting for a long time legs and feet numbness is a reason, the cervical spine left and right to turn the blood to restore circulation is solved.

After that, just continue to reset. Once reset, you will soon fall into a deep sleep. It's all normal, good.

Carotid artery stenosis is mostly caused by the stenosis of the carotid artery lumen caused by atheroma in the carotid artery, which causes cerebral ischemia and causes some symptoms, such as tinnitus, vertigo, blackness, blurred vision, dizziness, headache, insomnia, memory loss, etc.

Suggestions: General internal medicine conservative ** and surgery, internal medicine conservative ** is to dilate blood vessels to improve cerebral insufficiency, as well as weight control, blood lipid reduction, and anti-platelet aggregation**, if the internal medicine effect is not good, then surgery is required**, generally there is endomerectomy or interventional stent surgery.

Hello, first of all, the patient is older, with age, the blood vessels can appear arteriosclerosis, and severe arteriosclerosis in the neck can lead to dizziness and even syncope.

Suggestions: It is recommended that patients have a low-salt and low-fat diet, and oral lipid-lowering drugs, such as atorvastatin, can be used to lower blood lipids according to liver function. Never bow your head for long periods of time.

Beijing Deshengmen Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine - Wen Jihuan - Deputy Chief Physician - Department of Encephalopathy - What to do if dizziness is caused by carotid artery stenosis.

Depending on the patient's condition, older age, stenosis is not diffuse, PCI is recommended for good bridge conditions, multi-branch, diffuse, CAB is recommended for younger age, and of course it is not absolute. There are no clear international guidelines on the criteria for the selection of PCI and CABG.

It is recommended to go to a regular professional hospital to take **.

Carotid artery stenosis is a very common cerebrovascular disease in middle-aged and elderly people, which can cause insufficient blood supply to the brain, and in severe cases, it can cause acute cerebral infarction, and the consequences are terrible, and even fatal. Therefore, once you suffer from carotid artery stenosis, you must pay attention to it and seek medical attention in time.

The stenosis is severe. Maintain good lifestyle habits, control your diet, and stick to your medications**. When it affects life, surgery is recommended**. Interventional surgery or endarterectomy is performed.

The onset is related to the progression of your disease, generally stenosis will worsen, antithrombotic ** is limited, and the best outcome is that the stenosis does not worsen. **Please listen to the advice of doctors in regular hospitals and do not trust so-called experts and professors, especially those advertised on the Internet.

The carotid artery is a large blood vessel that carries blood from the heart to the head, face, and neck, and is one of the main blood vessels supplying the brain. According to the literature, the incidence of cerebral ischemic events in patients with severe carotid artery stenosis is as high as more than 26% within 2 years, even if effective drug control is used**; More than 60% of cerebral infarctions are caused by carotid artery stenosis, and severe cerebral infarction can lead to disability and even death. Therefore, carotid artery stenosis has become one of the "number one killers" that endanger people's health in today's society.

Your situation is dangerous! But you have a great misunderstanding of carotid artery stenosis, thinking that the carotid artery stenosis is just a stent, in fact, the international gold standard for carotid artery stenosis is surgery - that is, "carotid endarterectomy (CEA)", also known as decortication. Every year, 150,000 people in the United States undergo CEA surgery.

In the United States, 91% of patients with carotid artery stenosis end up undergoing CEA surgery, and only 9% of patients choose a stent (CAS). In fact, the perioperative stroke mortality rate of stent (CAS) is much higher than that of surgery (CEA), and the long-term effect is not as good as CEA, the ** rate is also high, and the cost is much higher than that of surgery (CEA), but the promotion of stents in China is out of shape! It is recommended to log in to the "Carotid Artery Stenosis Network" and send your information to Professor Wang's mailbox for consultation.

The carotid artery is divided according to its stenosis rate, and the stenosis rate below 50% is mild stenosis, and it is recommended to be conservative in internal medicine**; Moderate stenosis is 50%-70% carotid artery stenosis, severe stenosis is more than 70%, and surgery is recommended for moderate to severe carotid artery stenosis**.

Once the carotid artery is blocked by 70%, it will seriously affect the blood flow of the carotid artery, which may cause insufficient blood supply to the brain or face, cause a series of ischemic symptoms, and even cause acute cerebral infarction. Surgery should be performed as soon as possible**. Professor Jin Yongjian, director of the Department of Cerebrovascular Disease and Neurosurgery of the Aviation General Hospital, carried out carotid endarterectomy ** carotid artery stenosis, and the effect was relatively thorough.

At the bottom, after the lumen size is restored, the blood flow can reach the head and face unimpeded, and the normal life activities of the brain and head and face can be restored.

Carotid artery stenosis is a relatively common cerebrovascular lesion, and its main hazard is to cause stroke.

Studies have shown that 70% of strokes are related to carotid artery stenosis,20 to 30% of ischemic strokes originate from carotid artery stenosis.

In patients with carotid artery stenosis of more than 75%, the probability of stroke within 1 year is about 1% if there are no symptoms; If there are symptoms such as transient cerebral ischemia and stroke, the probability of stroke within 1 year is about 10%.

For some patients with severe stenosis, the probability of stroke within 2 years is about 26% after regular **.

Stents or drugs need to be evaluated based on the examination considering the patient.

Carotid artery stenosis is a common cerebrovascular disease, and the main cause of this disease is atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis will cause the inner wall of the carotid artery to gradually proliferate, deteriorate, calcify, ulcerate, and even form plaque, making the lumen of the carotid artery smaller and narrower, and then reducing blood flow.

As the carotid artery lumen narrows down, the amount of blood entering the brain through the carotid artery decreases, which inevitably leads to insufficient blood supply to the brain, and some ischemic symptoms will occur. Early symptoms of carotid artery stenosis include headache, dizziness, limb weakness, blurred vision, blackness, memory loss, drowsiness, and dreaminess. Ocular ischemia can lead to vision loss, hemianopia, diplopia, etc.

Carotid endarterectomy is a standard surgery for carotid artery stenosis and prevention of cerebral infarction, which cuts the carotid artery, peels off and removes the diseased intimal plaque, so that the inner wall of the carotid artery is smooth and the inner diameter returns to normal size. Professor Jin Yongjian of the Aviation General Hospital has widely carried out carotid endarterectomy in the first carotid artery stenosis, and he said that this method is more thorough carotid artery stenosis, the effect is more significant, and it is not easy to appear restenosis, and there is no need for long-term medication after surgery.

Some patients with mild to moderate carotid artery stenosis may be asymptomatic. For patients with clinical symptoms associated with stenosis, it is called "symptomatic carotid stenosis".

The clinical manifestations of symptomatic carotid artery stenosis are mainly related to cerebral ischemia due to vascular stenosis. According to the time of onset, it can be divided into transient ischemic attack and stroke, and the main difference between the two is whether the ischemic symptoms of the patient can be completely relieved within 24 hours. Transient ischemic attack can be completely relieved, while stroke is not completely remissioned.

Ischemic symptoms caused by carotid artery stenosis mainly include dizziness, memory loss, disorientation, impaired consciousness, amaurosis, numbness and weakness of the face or limbs, tongue protrusion, speech difficulties, and inability to understand what others are saying.

The carotid artery is a large blood vessel that carries blood from the heart to the head, face, and neck, and is one of the main blood vessels supplying the brain. When the unilateral carotid artery is partially blocked, the following main symptoms will occur: dizziness, memory and orientation loss, consciousness disorders, and amaurosis; Symptoms worsen when both carotid arteries are blocked extensively

There are some manifestations such as tongue protrusion, unfavorable speech, and incomprehension of what others are saying.

Arteriosclerosis is a non-inflammatory lesion of the arteries that thickens and stiffens the walls of the arteries, loses their elasticity, and narrows the lumen. Arteriosclerosis is a vascular disease that occurs with age, and its pattern usually occurs in adolescence and worsens and develops in middle and old age. There are more men than women, and in recent years, the disease has gradually increased in China, becoming one of the main causes of death among the elderly.

(1) Symptoms of cerebral ischemia may include tinnitus, dizziness, darkness, blurred vision, dizziness, headache, insomnia, memory loss, drowsiness, dreaminess and other symptoms. Ocular ischemia is manifested by decreased visual acuity, hemianopia, diplopia, etc.

2) Transient loss of neurological function in TIA The clinical manifestations are transient impairment of sensory or motor function of one limb, transient monocular blindness or aphasia, etc., which generally only lasts for a few minutes and fully recovers within 24 hours after the onset of the disease. Imaging studies are non-focused.

3) Ischemic stroke The common clinical symptoms include limb sensory impairment, hemiplegia, aphasia, cranial nerve damage, and coma in severe cases, and has corresponding neurological signs and imaging features.

Quit smoking, because smoking can change the viscosity of the blood, and the blood becomes viscous and easy to stagnate.

The manifestations of arteriosclerosis are mainly determined by vascular lesions and the degree of ischemia of the affected organs, and most patients with early arteriosclerosis have almost no clinical symptoms. For patients with arteriosclerosis in the middle stage, most patients have more or less clinical symptoms such as palpitations, chest pain, chest tightness, headache, dizziness, cold numbness in the limbs, soreness and laziness in the limbs, claudication, decreased vision, memory loss, insomnia and dreams.

It mainly depends on the degree of stenosis of you, if the stenosis rate reaches more than 50%, it meets the surgical criteria, regardless of whether there are symptoms or not, you should actively accept ** to prevent complete occlusion of the carotid artery or irreversible severe stroke, if you receive ** at that time, the carotid artery has lost the need to repair.

Jin Yongjian of the Aviation General Hospital uses decortication to ** patients with carotid artery stenosis, and actively carries out this new business, which is of far-reaching significance for improving the health level and quality of life of patients.

Carotid artery stenosis is the thickening of the intima of the neck blood vessels, and plaque formation, including soft spots and hard spots, which are easy to fall off, causing cerebral infarction, or stroke, depending on the degree of stenosis. It is advisable to ** as soon as possible.

Carotid artery stenosis can lead to insufficient blood supply to the cerebral blood vessels, dizziness and headache. Carotid artery stenosis is caused by congenital stenosis and atherosclerosis. If the stenosis is mild and is due to atherosclerosis or plaque formation, oral medications** may be taken to improve symptoms, and if the stenosis is severe, surgical stent dilation of the carotid artery** may be considered to relieve symptoms.
