Why are my hands not obeying my commands?

If your hands are out of control, it means there must be something wrong with your body. If you have this symptom, you must go to the hospital for a check-up to confirm whether it is caused by a stroke. Stroke is a very common disease, especially among middle-aged and elderly people. Stroke not only causes hand tremors, but also other symptoms in the human body. Below, we will introduce you to the relevant knowledge about stroke in detail.

1. Symptoms of stroke

1. Headache, dizziness, jet-like vomiting, tinnitus, drooling;

2. Sudden difficulty walking, loss of balance or coordination;

3. Sudden numbness, weakness, or paralysis of the face, upper limbs, or lower limbs, especially if symptoms occur on one side of the body;

4. Sudden visual impairment on one or both sides, blackness in front of the eyes or the feeling of a mosquito suddenly flying in front of the eyes;

5. Sudden loss of consciousness, inability to speak or understand speech, unclear speech, difficulty in enunciating words, and easy choking and coughing when drinking water or swallowing.

2. Populations prone to stroke

1. People with constipation

People with constipation are prone to gastrointestinal dysfunction, slow metabolism, and arteriosclerosis, which can easily lead to dry stools and constipation, especially in the elderly. Straining during bowel movements can easily increase abdominal pressure, and holding your breath while straining to defecate can cause blood pressure and intracranial pressure to increase as well, which can easily cause fragile small blood vessels to rupture and bleed, leading to a stroke.

2. Hypertensive patients

Studies have shown that as long as blood pressure reaches a certain level, it may cause a stroke.

3. Heart disease patients

People with myocardial infarction, arrhythmia, bacterial myocarditis, and heart valve disease, or those who have undergone heart surgery or have had an artificial pacemaker installed, are prone to blood clots and cerebral stroke.

4. Diabetic patients

Diabetic patients are prone to lipid metabolism disorders, aggravated atherosclerosis, and high blood pressure, which are all risk factors for stroke.

5. People with high blood viscosity

Some diseases, such as polycythemia, cause the patient's blood to have too many red blood cells, making the blood viscous and prone to blood clots, which can lead to ischemic stroke.

6. People who drink and smoke

Long-term heavy drinking, with daily alcohol intake exceeding 60 grams, may cause a stroke. Smoking can cause cholesterol in the blood to combine with lipoproteins and deposit on the blood vessel walls, thereby accelerating the process of atherosclerosis and causing cerebral stroke.

7. People with cerebrovascular malformations

Some people have congenital malformations of their cerebral blood vessels or congenital vascular wall defects. They may not have symptoms at ordinary times, but are extremely susceptible to hemorrhagic stroke.

8. People who eat too much salty food

Eating too much salt can cause damage and narrowing of the cerebral arteries, thereby causing a stroke.
