Stroke roughly the following categories of people are prone to high incidence: First, there is a family history of patients, such as a certain generation of people at home, there may be a stroke phenomenon, but the family history of high incidence of stroke patients is not rare; the second is the obese people, such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, patients with blood viscosity is relatively high. Blood viscosity is relatively high, this population is prone to stroke; the third category is extremely irregular life patients, this kind of people blood pressure is not stable, easy to lead to arterial thrombosis, rheumatic heart disease, the formation of atrial fibrillation, and frequent episodes, when attached to the wall of the thrombus fall off will lead to a stroke.

Four, what are the signs before a stroke?

Generally, before a stroke occurs, there will be some signs, such as the patient suddenly appeared limb movement abnormality or sensory abnormalities, numbness of the limbs, or severe headache, extremely irritable mood, unsteady, eyes blackened, these may be the precursor of the stroke, and the root cause of the stroke is the visceral accumulation of labor, accumulation of deficiency, accumulation of loss, the visceral decadence.
