What are the early symptoms of cerebral embolism?

Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease treatment experts explain: In daily life, cerebral embolism is a relatively common and frequently occurring cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease that can pose a threat to patients' lives at any time. The onset is relatively sudden, so if there are elderly people in our family, it is recommended that we understand the early symptoms of cerebral embolism, so that we can detect the condition in time for treatment.

1. Headache in the Morning: There are many types of headaches, such as intracranial tumors, sinusitis, glaucoma, vascular headaches, etc. However, most patients with intracranial tumors will also experience headaches in the early stages.

2. Severe Headache: A sudden severe headache after extraordinary fatigue or anger is often due to subarachnoid hemorrhage. Early treatment can lead to recovery.

3. Unsteady Walking and Vomiting in Children: Posterior cranial fossa tumors are common in children, which can cause unsteady walking and nausea and vomiting.

4. Large Head Size in Children: Be vigilant about hydrocephalus in children.

5. Menstrual Disorders, Infertility, and Galactorrhea: Pituitary prolactinomas can cause menstrual disorders, infertility, and galactorrhea.

6. Decreased Vision: If there are no obvious causes for decreased vision, especially a reduction in peripheral vision, it is often necessary to visit a neurosurgeon to check for the presence of saddle area tumors.

7. Exceptionally Tall Height in Children and Enlarged Hands and Feet in Adults, with Facial Changes: Be vigilant for pituitary growth hormone tumors.

8. Tinnitus and Hearing Loss: Especially unilateral tinnitus and hearing loss, be vigilant for vestibular schwannomas. Early treatment can lead to recovery with few complications.

9. Facial Twitching: Regular twitching of the corners of the mouth and eyes may be due to facial spasms caused by a blood vessel affecting a nerve in the brain. Surgical recovery is possible.

10. Sudden Severe Pain in the Face: Some may mistake it for toothache, but this pain is intense, sudden, and recurrent. Be vigilant for trigeminal neuralgia caused by a blood vessel affecting a nerve in the brain. Surgical recovery is possible.

11. Epilepsy or Sudden Limb Twitching: This may be epilepsy. Most cases of epilepsy in adults have underlying causes. After addressing the intracranial pathology, excellent outcomes can be achieved in treating epilepsy.

All of the above introduce the early symptoms of cerebral embolism. When cerebral embolism symptoms are detected, one should promptly visit the hospital for effective examination. Upon diagnosis, one should not treat themselves blindly but follow the advice of a physician, enhance physical exercise, maintain a good mood, and communicate more with family and friends. Only by doing so can one become healthy.
