What are the 3 types of discomfort that need to be paid attention to in the early stage of carotid p

There will be insufficient blood supply to the brain, dizziness, dizziness, and the body will have no strength to walk unsteadily. You will feel a lack of strength in your body. You can walk more and exercise more.

There will be dizziness, cerebral ischemia in life, and some movement disorders, which must be taken seriously.

They are neck pain, dizziness, headache, and blurred vision, and if you have these three conditions, you need to pay attention.

In the outpatient clinic, we often encounter patients who come to us with physical examination reports, doctor, you see that I have plaque in the carotid artery, it doesn't matter, what should I do!

To know whether carotid plaque needs to be treated, how to deal with it and how to prevent it, we first need to know what arterial plaque is. Arterial plaque is commonly referred to as atherosclerotic plaque, which is caused by the deposition of blood lipids under the arterial intima and the resulting thickening of the arterial intima to form plaque, which is why people with high blood lipids are more likely to form arterial plaque. In addition to hyperlipidemia, smoking, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, etc. can also lead to the formation of arterial plaque.

So what happens once the carotid arteries form plaque? Whether carotid plaque needs to be treated depends mainly on the following two aspects:1

whether the size of the plaque caused severe stenosis of the carotid artery and contributed to symptoms of cerebral ischemia; 2.Stability of plaques. Carotid plaque is a major cause of stroke, with data showing that approximately 60% of strokes are due to carotid plaque.

It is generally believed that carotid plaque causes carotid artery stenosis of less than 50%, and if there are no manifestations of cerebral ischemia (such as stroke), drugs (such as atorvastatin, etc.) can be used to control plaque growth. If the carotid artery stenosis is more than 50%, patients with cerebral ischemia symptoms are generally recommended to undergo surgery, and there are two main ways to operate, one is to put a stent, and the other is to remove plaque. In addition, the stability of the plaque is also another consideration of the plaque**, unstable plaque shedding can cause stroke at any time, so unstable plaque needs to be actively treated to avoid stroke.

Carotid plaque is so dangerous, so how can we prevent it? We can prevent it mainly through the following aspects:

1.a light diet; Eat a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, with less sugar and more fruits and vegetables.

2.Maintain an appropriate weight.

3.Quit smoking. 4.Exercise regularly.

5.Control blood pressure and lower cholesterol.

6.Maintain normal blood sugar levels.
