Chen Chong, former premier, suffered from cerebral hemorrhage and stroke! You must know the precursor of stroke if you save your life.

Editor's Note: Chen Chong, the former premier, was hospitalized with a minor stroke three weeks before the shock. The Affiliated Hospital of Taipei University confirmed yesterday (December 19) that Chen Chong went to the hospital at the end of November and was found to have cerebral hemorrhage after examination. He is still recovering. Chen Chong also asked the hospital to convey, thank you for your concern, looking forward to the outside world to give quiet rest space. According to friends in Chen Chong, 69-year-old Chen Chong found a slight stroke due to weakness of hands and feet, and recovered well after hospitalization, but he is still recuperating in the hospital. The New Generation Financial Foundation, with Chen Chong as its chairman, said that Chen Chong was indeed hospitalized due to physical discomfort, but his condition was not as serious as that reported, and he would be discharged soon. Chen Chong has held many important positions in the financial sector. He once served as the executive and government deputy minister of the Ministry of Finance, the chairman of the Taiwan Stock Exchange, the chairman of the Financial Management Committee, and the vice president of the Executive Yuan. In 212, Chen Chong became the Executive Dean for his financial and legal expertise until he resigned from former President Ma Ying-jeou in 213 due to health and family factors. According to statistics, one person has a stroke every 17 minutes in Taiwan Province, and one patient dies every 44 minutes, killing more than 1, people every year! Weakness of hands and feet is often an important symptom of vigilance against stroke, especially when a stroke occurs, it is very important to take time to receive treatment as soon as possible. At present, there are simple formulas at home and abroad, so that patients can easily distinguish the occurrence of stroke. The formula popularized in China is "staying calm in the face of adversity." The four-word formula for the precursor of stroke is "pro"-temporary weakness. "Slight"-it is difficult to smile. "No"-don't take turns to speak (speak fluently). "Chaos"-seek medical advice if you don't mess up. After winter, the number of stroke patients in wards began to increase. According to the statistics of the National Health Foundation, in Taiwan Province, for example, the number of stroke inpatients in January and February each year is about 3% higher than that in July and September. However, the key to stroke is not the temperature, but the temperature difference, such as the recent large temperature difference between morning and evening, sudden change from cold to warm or rapid change from warm to cold, which challenges the human body's ability to adapt to environmental changes, and the human body's ability to adapt to environmental changes will weaken with age or its own cardiovascular disease. Stroke can be roughly divided into two categories: ischemic stroke (cerebral infarction): when there is an embolus in the blood or thrombosis in the cerebral vessels, it can cause cerebral ischemia, and the onset is sudden, and sensory disorders such as hemiplegia, aphasia and hemiplegia occur within a few seconds or minutes, and there are different degrees of consciousness disorders. Mild ischemic stroke, also known as "mini-stroke" (transient unilateral paralysis of hands and feet, fatigue, slurred speech, etc.), has a sudden onset, which may last for only a few minutes or no more than 24 hours at the longest, and will recover automatically, so it is often ignored by patients. Hemorrhagic stroke (cerebral hemorrhage): Cerebral vascular rupture and bleeding, sudden illness, acute illness, high mortality rate, patients will have headache, dizziness, vomiting, consciousness disorder, motor or language disorder, if patients have deep coma, high fever, pupil changes or gastrointestinal bleeding, the condition is critical and the prognosis is poor. The superficial blood vessels of the brain are ruptured, which is subarachnoid hemorrhage. According to the World Stroke Organization, except age, sex, race and family history, 9% of the risk factors of stroke are related to other risk factors. Prevention of stroke must start with understanding the risk factors. Hypertension: Almost half of strokes are related to hypertension; Get into the habit of taking blood pressure every day. Hyperlipidemia: More than a quarter of stroke patients have high bad cholesterol (LDL); Diet should reduce animal fat and trans-fat foods. Diabetes: Diabetes will increase the risk of stroke, and check and take medicine according to the doctor's advice. Arrhythmia: 9% of stroke is related to arrhythmia or other heart diseases, and medical professional advice or treatment should be sought. Obesity: About one-fifth of stroke patients have obesity problems, so it is recommended to maintain BMI at 18? Between 24, the waist circumference is less than 9 cm for men and 8 cm for women. In addition, the Japanese doctor of medicine reminded that some people may have brain damage without conscious symptoms, and special attention should be paid to the risk of stroke accompanied by occult cerebral infarction. Self-examination of Akio Uchiyama (MD, orthopedic surgeon): (Brain injury occurs without conscious symptoms) Recessive cerebral infarction refers to cerebral infarction that will not be accompanied by severe symptoms such as hemiplegia and numbness of hands and feet. Some even have no symptoms at all. However, if ignored, 3% people will increase the risk of cerebral infarction (within 5 years). DATA prone age: over 4 years old, prone rate: among people in their 4 s, one out of every three outpatient departments: internal medicine and cerebrovascular diseases? Neurology explains whether the basal nucleus of the brain, which regulates subtle movements during exercise, and the cerebellum, which is responsible for balance, have abnormal functions. CHECK.2 The distance between the index fingers of both hands is more than 5cm, which may be that the cerebellar processing ability for regulating muscle movements has been reduced. CHECK.3 One arm falls down, indicating that there is something wrong with the cone path; Tilting to the inside and falling, indicating that there is something wrong with the frontal lobe.
