DEP 1 degree: causes, symptoms, treatment

Not all people know the definition, symptoms, and treatment of grade 1 DEP.

What is discirculatory encephalopathy? With this pathology, cerebral blood flow is disturbed, which causes a dysfunction of the human body. The pathological process is characterized in that the brain is insufficiently supplied with blood.

Features classification DEP

Although DEP of 1 degree is easy, such a pathological process always progresses. Symptoms in such a disease are expressed by movement dysfunction, the patient's unstable emotional background. This pathology affects people of various age groups.

What is it - a diagnosis of DEP of the 1st degree, many are interested.

Despite the causes of changes in discirculatory encephalopathy, the disease can occur as a result:

• vertebrobasilar chronic syndrome;
• atherosclerosis;
• arterial hypertension.

In addition, there is discirculatory encephalopathy of mixed origin. This type of pathology occurs due to the simultaneous combination of symptoms of chronic VBI, atherosclerosis, and hypertension.

What is DEP 1 degree, described in more detail below.

Features of the manifestation of pathology of mixed genesis

There are many reasons for the occurrence of mixed discirculatory encephalopathy. These include: impaired blood circulation in the brain, defects in the endocrine and metabolic system (diabetes mellitus or endemic goiter), traumatic brain injuries and alcoholism.

Residual encephalopathy (central nervous system pathology from birth), hypoxia, obstructive pulmonary disease, uncontrolled bronchial asthma and pulmonary oncopathology, impaired respiratory function, ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes, intoxication of the body (heavy metals, carbon monoxide) can be a serious reason for the formation of a grade 1 DEP of mixed genesis. and surgical treatment of brain diseases.

What are the symptoms of a grade 1 DEP? With mixed encephalopathy, pathological signs are determined by how many factors affect the nervous tissue. It also matters the duration of the disease, finding them at a certain stage of development during the study.

Mental disorder

Mental disorders also become one of the clear symptoms of the disease. They can manifest as impaired memory and intelligence. It is difficult for such a person to concentrate on any one task; there is no ability to logical thinking. Performance suffers. The patient cannot sleep at night, while during the day he wants to sleep. A person becomes very irritable, he suffers from noise and headaches. In emotional terms, patients with such a pathology are unstable.

When a person does not pay attention in time to the appearance of symptoms, this leads to obvious mental deviations: a violation of the autonomic system and motor coordination, dementia.

Such signs can occur simultaneously with the following diseases: pathologies of the heart and blood vessels, diabetes, a constant increase in blood pressure, chronic kidney and liver disorders, and dependence on alcohol.

Causes of pathology

Changes in CVE DEP of the 1st degree are often observed due to:

• unbalanced diet;
• adverse environmental conditions;
• physical inactivity;
• sleep disturbances;
• inferior rest;
• processes of inflammation of the vascular cerebral tissue;
• sharp pressure drop;
• atherosclerotic changes;
• narrowing of arterial vessels;
• cirrhosis in the liver.

Symptomatology

DEP 1 degree - what is meant by this? Symptomatic signs of this disease are as follows:

• The very first symptom is the appearance of headaches that turn into migraine attacks.
• The patient is dizzy all the time.
• A person with discirculatory encephalopathy constantly feels tired.
• The patient is nervous with manifestations of pathology.
• A person has poor memory and sleep disturbances.
• With DEP, pressure drops are observed. It rises suddenly and falls just as sharply.
• The patient hears noise effects in the head.
• With discirculatory encephalopathy, the patient has a feeling of discomfort in the eyeballs.
• In some cases, with DEP, asymmetry of the face is observed.

Another violation in pathology is noted: the patient cannot stand in the Romberg position, which consists in the fact that the soles are reduced, arms are extended and eyes are closed.

Symptoms of DEP 1 degree in some cases go away if the patient sleeps well and relaxes. However, with constant signs of DEP, the patient needs specialist advice and treatment.

Signs of disease progression

In the absence of human therapy, discirculatory encephalopathy will progress further. Complicated conditions are characterized by the following symptoms:

• memory impairment in a patient, dementia and distraction;
• manifestation of mental instability, emotional instability;
• trembling limbs;
• difficulty swallowing and chewing food;
• coarsening of voice and slowing down of speech;
• the patient will laugh or cry for no apparent reason;
• he is constantly dizzy and nauseous;
• dysfunction of the excretory system and digestive tract are manifested.

Now, many have learned the definition and symptoms of DEP 1 degree.

Diagnostic Features

To diagnose discirculatory encephalopathy, there are several methods. Many signs of the disease are similar to other pathological processes.

That is why, in order to confirm the diagnosis, cardiological, endocrinological and ophthalmological examinations are necessary, as well as additional diagnostic measures.

With discirculatory encephalopathy, additional studies are carried out in the implementation of:

• tomographic computer examination;
• electroencephalographic examination;
• Ultrasound of cerebral vessels;
• electrocardiographic examination;
• resonance magnetic tomography.

With DEP, a blood test for fat content, its coagulability is also carried out, blood pressure readings are examined.

Treatment

With a degree 1 DEP, treatment includes several methods that are prescribed by the attending physician. When medical measures are taken, the following factors are taken into account:

• manifestation of symptoms;
• age category of the patient;
• other pathological processes.

Particularly easy discirculatory encephalopathy is treated in children. This is due to the rapid recovery of a small patient, so physiotherapy is often used.

Therapy of DEP with medications is often prescribed for adults. Thanks to them, the pressure normalizes, symptomatic manifestations are eliminated.

To cure DEP, you need to use several types of drugs:

• Anticholesterol. Such drugs lower blood cholesterol by eliminating growths from the vascular tissue caused by cholesterol.
• Antihypertensive. Thanks to them, the pressure decreases, spasms of blood vessels are eliminated.
• Venotonic. They make it possible to keep venous vessels in good shape, thanks to such drugs, blood flows better from cerebral vessels.
• Nootropic. The activation of cellular structures (neurons) of the nervous system and their relationships.
• Neuroprotective. Strengthen and restore neurons.
• Sedative. Discharged to irritable patients with instability of the emotional background.
• Vitamin complexes of group B. Thanks to them, metabolic processes in the nervous tissue improve.

Proper nutrition with an electrical accident of 1 degree

A diet with dietary products with this pathology is determined by the manifestations of symptoms:

• When observing sudden changes in pressure, limiting or excluding salt, tea and coffee, spices, alcohol and chocolate.
• When determining atherosclerotic changes in DEP, food containing a lot of cholesterol is limited. To this end, the use of fried potatoes, butter, eggs is excluded. You also need less to eat sour cream, lard, instant foods.
• When encephalopathy changes occur due to vascular disorders, you need to eat cranberries and broccoli. Also, you should not forget about green tea, honey and citrus fruits.

It is recommended to eat natural food made at home. Alcohol in the disease not only negatively affects the brain tissue, but also aggravates the existing symptoms. That is why it must be excluded altogether.

Lifestyle in DEP

Patient with DEP needs:

• exclude work at night, as the symptoms in the evening often worsen;
• monitor the mode of rest and work;
• to give rest as much time as possible; sleep is allowed after lunch;
• eliminate the influence of a stress factor;
• walk more often, breathe fresh air;
• pay attention to intellectual activity, as well as develop your mental abilities;
• smoking is completely ruled out.
  

Everyone should know what it is - DEP 1 degree. Treatment can be carried out and alternative methods.

Alternative methods of treating pathology

Non-traditional therapeutic methods for discirculatory encephalopathy are used only after consulting a doctor. They can also be prohibited to the patient, as they have an adverse effect, that is, they can cause exacerbation in the symptomatic manifestation of DEP. Often, drugs are prescribed that are based on bilobate ginkgo, sage, Chinese magnolia vine, turmeric and comb blackberry.

With discirculatory encephalopathy, sage oil eliminates inflammation, produces an antioxidant effect, and has a positive effect on the brain. Its dosage per day begins with twenty drops, no more. The amount, if necessary, is increased by a specialist.

Oil is treated for at least three months. After this, a break of at least three months, while being treated with other drugs.

To cure the disease, boil ginkgo is boiled. Used tea containing in its composition a glass of boiled water and a teaspoon of two-bladed ginkgo. It is applied after it has been infused for half an hour.

A tincture is being prepared containing 100 grams of two-bladed ginkgo and half a liter of alcohol. The ingredients are mixed, they are infused for two weeks. You need to take one teaspoon after eating three times a day.

The course of therapeutic measures with such drugs in DEP is six months. Then they take a break.

The use of turmeric in pathology produces a beneficial effect on cerebral vessels. A teaspoon of turmeric is mixed with a glass of warm milk and honey. Must be taken in the morning during breakfast.

Comb blackberry with this disease is used as a tincture. To do this, take a dried mushroom, it is filled with water in an amount of not more than 500 milliliters. He is placed in a dark room, insisted there for two weeks.

A precipitate is separated from the tincture. The patient takes one teaspoon before starting to eat. The duration of such a treatment course is about two months.

Forecast

What is the life expectancy in the first stage of DEP? As a rule, discirculatory encephalopathy progresses. If you take medicines at an early stage and do physiotherapeutic procedures, you can reduce the rate of progression of the pathology process.

With discirculatory encephalopathy, the patient needs to change his lifestyle. He is not entitled to disability. With the implementation of the correct therapeutic measures, you can live long at this stage.

However, with a DEP of this form should be observed by a doctor. It must be remembered that the lack of a balanced diet and physical activity will cause complications. You can also not self-medicate, if the condition worsens, consult a specialist.

Now many will know what it is DEP 1 degree, how pathology is treated.
