What is a stroke?
当大脑的血液供应受阻时,就会发生中风。中风主要有两种类型:
出血性 – 由大脑血管破裂和出血引起。这种类型约占中风的15%。
缺血性 – 由动脉阻塞引起。这种类型约占中风的80%。
Both types of stroke need treatment. Strokes can be mild, severe or even fatal. The impact and symptoms depend on the part of the brain the stroke affects. Strokes can impact the way you behave, your thoughts and your feelings. In many cases, you can prevent strokes by living a healthy lifestyle. Common causes of strokes include high blood pressure, being overweight or obese, smoking, high cholesterol, drinking too much and diabetesDiabetes is a life-long metabolic disease where the body either doesn't make enough insulin or can't use the insulin it makes. This causes high blood sugar levels. Diabetes can cause damage to various organs over time if not properly managed. Your 全科医生General Practitioner will help you make a healthy lifestyle plan and learn how to reduce your risk.
