CEREBRAL EMBOLISM, STROKE AND ANEURYSM.

Cerebral embolism or vascular cerebral blockage occurs when the blood flow which irrigates a certain area of brain cells stops, causing neurons to die  because they stop getting oxygen and nutrients for a certain period of time (3.5 to 6 minutes).

This blockage may be caused by:

Atherosclerosis (see atherosclerosis) which produces a blood clot that may come from a different part of the body from hemorrhage or artery breakage.

ANEURYSM

Is an arterial dilation or enlargement due to high blood pressure. Aneurysms are very dangerous because they exert pressure on tissues where they are found. They can rupture the artery in that area, producing a hemorrhage. The damage depends on the place where the aneurysm is located.

If it is located in the brain the person may be semi-paralized in one of the eye, etc. this can also occur in other parts of the body.

Symptoms

Are related to the functions belonging to the affected area, the movement on one side of the body are generally harmed, including arms, legs, and face muscles.

 Memory functions are affected according to the side of the embolism. For example, if the embolism were on the left side, speaking would be affected. The person will recognize thing but cant  call them.he or she would  be able to remember what happened in infancy or in the distant past but would not be able to remember what happen a short time ago. All thes symptoms may vary depending on the affected area. Only a study done by an neurologist would be able to determine the situation and the action to be taken.

Causes

High blood pressure, obesity, arteriosclerosis, diabetes, age and smoking are factors which encourage embolism.

Treatment.

The best treatment is prevention. Physical therapy and speech therapy are normally the best way to rehabilitates, nevertheless, adequate nutrition plays an important role. A diey low in sodium (salt ) lowers blood pressure; food low in cholesterol will help prevent embolism.

Ginkgo biloba produces a dilation of the blood vessels which in turn causes a decrease in arterial pressure. The improvement is due to greater quantity of blood, loaded with oxygen and nutrients, reaching the damaged area so that the nerve cells are reestablished quicker, allowing the persons damaged cells to improve. An improved diet helps to better achieve this function

In addition, the intake of garlic should be included as well as vitamin C and B Complex which will help keep the blood vessel strong. Vitamin E will help prevent the formation of blood clots.
