Microphysult of the brain - sounds not as scary as a stroke. However, very often symptoms of transient ischemic attack become a signal of the coming brain catastrophe.

Microinsult brain — it sounds not as scary as stroke. However, the prefix «micro» It means only the degree of violation of the cerebral circulation, while the essence of the problem remains the same as with an extensive brain disaster. Moreover, half of the patients who have undergone a microinsulty during the year develops a real hemorrhagic or ischemic stroke with all the ensuing consequences, because to leave the microsimptoms to life.
What is a microinsult?
In official medicine there is no diagnosis «Microsult». This concept is used to designate a transient ischemic attack or a transient brain circulation disorder, which is ongoing from a few minutes to several hours and ending the full restoration of the brain functions within a few days.
The cause of the microfserut of the brain is most often the blockage of small blood vessels thrombus or embolomes, that is, from the usual stroke, the microinsult is distinguished by only a small brain damage zone. As soon as the brain circulation is restored, the symptoms of the disease disappear, and its traces can be detected only with the help of high-precision research methods.
Risk group
No need to think that strokes and microinsults — The lot of older people over 60. Of course, the risk of a disease increases after 45-50 years as chronic diseases accumulates, but the ischemic attacks happen in young, quite healthy people.
Doctors are often joking that a stroke has a young face, he smokes, do not mind drink and eat good. Indeed, destructive habits often play the hand. Position exacerbate hypodynamia, chronic stress, meteorality, excessive physical exertion. Often, young people do not pay attention to signs of transient ischemic attack, writing off her symptoms for fatigue or neurocirculatory dystonia.
In the risk group for the development of stroke, those whose relatives suffered coronary attacks in the form of stroke or myocardial infarction. The probability of the disease is high «Hearts» and «Hypertension», in patients with obesity and diabetes, in persons prone to thrombosis.
Symptoms of transient ischemic attack
The first symptoms of the micrification can remain unnoticed, however, their recognition is immensely important. Changes in the brain caused by circulatory disorders are reversible for 3-6 hours, later compensation of tissues, restore their functions is not possible.
As a rule, the microinsult occurs against the background of increased blood pressure, during or immediately after exercise and stress.
Signs of brainwater disorders are:
- dizziness and sudden headache, nausea;
- increased sensitivity to sharp sounds, smells, light;
- numbness of the face, limbs, the appearance of a feeling of crawling goosebumps;
- loss of sensitivity and weakness in hand or leg;
- Violation of speech, sudden whisper or mopavility, feeling «Naughty», big tongue;
- vision vision, «Mushkush» Before your eyes, bias in the eyes;
- The emergence of asymmetry of the face;
- breach of gait and coordination of movements;
- Short-term loss of consciousness.
The presence of at least three symptoms speaks of ischemic attack.
In fact, the same signs are characteristic of an extensive stroke, and their severity does not allow to judge how the situation will continue to develop. Easy insufficiency of circulatory cerebral tissue may well grow into extensive hemorrhage or deep ischemia. Therefore, when the first symptoms of the transient ischemic attack should immediately call the brigade «Ambulance».
What is the danger of micrification?
After transferring the micropots of the brain function, they are restored quickly and in full. It would seem that if everything happened and the case limited to light transient symptoms, you can sigh and live calmly. However, it is not. What is the danger of the disease?
The microinsult always indicates a deplorable state in the brain circulation system, which means that it may happen at any time.
With each microsphere in the nervous tissue there is a small scar, which makes it difficult to work the brain. If the ischemic attacks are repeated constantly, sooner or later develops vascular dementia, leading to a violation of mental abilities: deterioration of memory, scattered, difficulty, and then to the loss of reading, accounts, letters, writing, speech disorder. All this is accompanied by a disruption of coordination of movements, with the result that the patient needs permanent assistance and care.
To prevent the development of the micrification, first of all, it is necessary to clearly control the blood pressure and adjust its possible deviations in time. Refusal of bad habits, proper nutrition, weight normalization, dosage, organized in accordance with the physical form of training, increase stress resilience — All this will help reduce the risk of disease.
