If before the diseases of the vascular system, as a rule, were found exclusively in the elderly due to concomitant predisposing pathologies and age, now spasm of the cerebral vessels is observed in 30-35 years. This is a very serious problem requiring immediate treatment and subsequent prevention, as it can lead to irreversible changes in brain tissue.
Causes of spasm of cerebral vessels
Because of insufficient nutrition and circulation in the brain, a pressure of the vessels arises that does not allow their walls to relax, which makes access to oxygen even more difficult. The reasons for this process are:
- aneurysm;
- osteochondrosis;
- pathology of the heart, thyroid, kidney;
- vascular dystonia;
- stiffness of arterial walls;
- brain tumors;
- damaged fibers of the arteries;
- high blood pressure.
Diseases that contribute to the occurrence of spasm:
- angina pectoris;
- hypertension;
- diabetes;
- propensity to form blood clots or diseases associated with increased coagulability;
- encephalopathy;
- alcoholism;
- tobacco dependence.
Symptoms and consequences of spasm of cerebral vessels
The main characteristic signs of pathology:
- dizziness and nausea ;
- pain in the nape, temples, near the forehead;
- deviation of pressure values from the norm;
- noise, ringing in the ears;
- violation of speech apparatus;
- loss of orientation in space;
- memory problems;
- increased fatigue;
- compressive pain in one half of the body.
One of the most dangerous complications of this condition is the rupture of blood vessels and, as a consequence, hemorrhage in the brain. This is fraught with severe impairment of consciousness, loss of efficiency and capacity, so treatment of spasm should be started when the first symptoms appear.
Treatment of spasm of cerebral vessels
To develop a correct and effective treatment regimen, it is necessary first to establish the exact cause of the disease and to try to eliminate it. In the future, the attending physician will definitely recommend changing the lifestyle, adjusting the diet, prescribing sessions of physiotherapy procedures and sanatorium-and-spa activities.
Quickly remove the spasm of cerebral vessels can be through such actions:
- Dip your feet into a container of cold water, and put a towel dipped in a solution of vinegar with ice water (1: 5) on your head.
- Make a compress on the forehead from the decoction of plantain, St. John's wort and dandelion.
- Simultaneously drink 2 tablets No- shpy, Corinfar and 30 drops of Valocordinum.
- During the day, drink instead of tea a broth of dogrose.
If these methods do not help, more serious medication is required.
Spasm of cerebral vessels - drugs and preparations
In order to effectively and quickly eliminate the problem, the main 4 groups of funds are applied.
Tablets that relieve spasms of cerebral vessels:
- drugs to improve blood circulation in the brain tissues (Piracetam, Nootropil);
- antispasmodics;
- vasodilator medicines (Aspirin, Cardiomagnet);
- drugs that improve the absorption of oxygen by soft tissue cells.
Do not try to assign any of these medications yourself. The active substance and its exact dosage must necessarily be selected by the treating doctor after performing laboratory tests of blood and its composition, magnetic resonance imaging studies of the vessels in the brain, ultrasound of the cervical and thoracic spine.
