Suddenly everything went black and I fainted

Black vision is a situation that many people encounter in their lives. If you sit for too long and then move suddenly, you will feel black in front of your eyes and feel dizzy. There are also many cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases that can cause people to experience black spots in front of their eyes or even fainting, which requires everyone's attention. So, what exactly happened when you suddenly saw black and fainted?

Plaques in the carotid artery can lead to cerebral infarction, which is what we call cerebral infarction. The carotid artery is an important blood supply channel for the brain. If plaque grows here, the artery will be blocked. If there is no normal blood circulation, damage will occur within 8 minutes, resulting in blindness, language disorders, hemiplegia, etc., which is what we call cerebral infarction or stroke. It varies from person to person. If it lasts any longer, it will cause brain death.

Therefore, we must be cautious about the harm of arterial plaque.

If you experience language disorders, sudden blacking in front of your eyes, numbness on one side of your body, etc. for a short period of time, then your symptoms are already close to those of a high-risk group for cerebral infarction.

In our daily lives, there are five bad habits that accelerate plaque formation.

1. Smoking

People who smoke regularly are more likely to develop plaque in their carotid arteries. The disease rate among smokers is about 30% higher than that among non-smokers.

2. Diet

It is referred to as the "three highs diet". The diet is high in sugar, salt, and fat.

High salt intake will increase high blood pressure, and high blood pressure will accelerate hardening of blood vessels;

High sugar intake will cause blood sugar and insulin levels to rise, and is also the biggest cause of atherosclerosis.

High lipids will cause fat to accumulate on the inner walls of arteries and cause arteriosclerosis.

3. Less exercise

We all know that exercise can promote blood circulation and increase blood vessel elasticity. People who sit for a long time will have their blood circulation seriously affected, and are prone to form atherosclerotic plaques.

4. Staying up late

There is an old saying that staying up late will damage your heart. In fact, staying up late will disrupt your endocrine system, causing the body to secrete too much adrenaline and noradrenaline, causing vasoconstriction and slowed blood flow.

5. Alcoholism

Heavy drinking is the main culprit for reduced cerebral blood flow and has serious effects and damage to the liver.

Change

Good living habits will keep our bodies healthy, and a healthy body will make life better.

Get regular physical exams: Have an ultrasound of your arteries done once a year.

Optimize your lifestyle: eat less salt, less high-oil, high-fat, and high-cholesterol foods, and eat more vegetables and fruits. Strengthen every day. Keep exercising
