The narrowing of the vessels of the brain is known to us as a disease called atherosclerosis. The deposition of cholesterol plaques on the walls of blood vessels leads to a decrease in free space and impaired blood circulation.
The first signs indicating a narrowing of the vessels of the brain are frequent attacks of dizziness and severe headache, as well as impaired memory. If you do not pass the examination and do not start treatment in the early stages, then atherosclerosis can lead to stroke, heart attack and senile dementia.
There are many negative factors that provoke the development of this disease. These include a stressful state, systematic overwork of the body, nervous experiences and huge mental stress, as well as a lack of oxygen. But the main reason is cholesterol. It is he who leads to a narrowing of the vessels of the brain.
Food cravings with a lot of calories, high fat content and low consumption of fresh plant-based foods, seafood, vegetable oils provoke the accumulation and deposition of cholesterol plaques on the walls of blood vessels.
The narrowing of the vessels of the brain becomes an obstacle to ensuring full circulation. Vitamins, micro-, macrocells and oxygen, so necessary for our brain, are not supplied in the required amount, and a kind of starvation occurs. This provokes headache attacks.
The main symptoms include just the onset of headaches, a significant decrease in performance and memory levels, dizziness and tinnitus, as well as increased fatigue. All signs indicate the presence of chronic circulatory disorders of the brain.
This disease occurs in both young people and the elderly. Having been diagnosed with a narrowing of the vessels of the brain, therapists and neuropathologists can prescribe treatment. With a severe complication of the disease, cardiologists will take up the treatment. But you may need to consult with specialists such as ENT and a vascular surgeon.
Drug treatment can be supplemented with folk remedies. Most often, the following drugs are prescribed: lovostatin, mefacor, atromide, zocor, clofibrate, lecithin, cerebrolysin. Apply iodine therapy and anion exchange resins. Drugs are selected individually for each patient and depend on his personal data, health status and the presence of various allergic reactions and contraindications.
In most cases, patients seek the help of doctors when atherosclerosis is already in a state of neglect, so the treatment takes a long time, and in some cases, taking the drugs will have to last a lifetime. A common cause of atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease such as osteochondrosis. Therefore, in addition to vasodilating agents (euphilin and papaverine), special gymnastics is mandatory, which helps strengthen and dilate blood vessels.
It is important to provide the body with all the missing vitamins, for this you should take a balanced vitamin complex. With a diagnosis of cerebral vasoconstriction, treatment with folk remedies will greatly help taking medications. You should adjust your diet, excluding animal fats and replacing them with vegetable. Instead of sweets, you should consume more honey, and replace smoked meats with boiled meat.
Contrast showers and long walks will have a positive effect on the vessels. And the use of garlic will help get rid of cholesterol plaques. It is possible to increase blood circulation with the help of medicinal plants. With atherosclerosis, berries of honeysuckle and hawthorn, St. John's wort, thyme, dog rose, elecampane, mountain ash bark and red clover flowers are useful.
