Male stroke: Preventive measures, risk factors, and more

A medical problem as serious as a stroke could be a result of regular activities that are driving you in the direction of an unhealthy lifestyle.

A stroke, sometimes referred to as a “brain attack,” happens when there is an interruption in the blood supply to a particular part of the brain or when a blood artery bursts, depriving brain cells of oxygen.

Although it is a prevalent ailment in women, men are more likely to die from it since they typically develop it earlier in life.

Stroke is not only deadly but also the main cause of permanent disability in males under 44.

If treatment is given to the patient within the first three hours of the onset of symptoms, the medical condition may be managed.

Stroke risk factors:
The following are some risk indicators to be aware of:

  1. Hypertension

Known as high blood pressure, around 50.4% of men have a blood pressure reading of 130/80 mm Hg.

Four out of five men with high blood pressure do not have their blood pressure under control, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

  1. Cigarette Use:

Smoking can seriously harm blood vessels since men are more likely than women to smoke.

Additionally, because tobacco smoke contains 4000 harmful compounds that enter the bloodstream and eventually damage blood vessels, it doubles the risk of stroke.

  1. Overweight and Obesity:

One of the top 10 risk factors is being overweight, which is directly associated with high blood pressure.

Being overweight raises your risk of stroke by 22%, according to the World Stroke Organization. The risk rises by 64% if you are obese.

  1. Inadequate exercise:

Your arteries will eventually become clogged with fat material as a result of laziness. A heart attack may result from insufficient blood flow.

A stroke may result if this occurs in the blood vessels that supply your brain.

Symptoms of an impending stroke: To be vigilant, here are some clear indicators that a stroke may be imminent:.

  • Weakness or numbness in your arm, leg, or face, especially on one side
  • Having trouble comprehending others
  • Having difficulty speaking
  • Challenges in employing one
  • Dizziness when strolling
  • Sudden, intense headaches.
  • How can a stroke be prevented?
  • One should be aware of the precautions one should take to prevent strokes from taking their own or a loved one’s life.
  • Here’s how to stop a stroke from happening:
  • Low BP:
  • The first step should be to moderate your blood pressure because it can double your risk of stroke. A blood pressure of less than 120/80 should be the target to maintain optimal vascular health.
  • A balanced diet
  • Overweight is one of the main risk factors for stroke. Harvard Health proposes that an individual maintain 1,500 to 2,000 calories per day, depending on their exercise level and BMI.
  • Give up smoking.
  • Smoking terminates blood clots more frequently.
  • Physicians typically advise smokers to transition to a tobacco-free lifestyle by using nicotine patches or pills.
  • Workout:
  • Breaking out of a slump can be crucial for lowering blood pressure and losing weight, as these two factors may contribute to stroke.
  • A little walk by yourself can help establish the exercise habit, which is recognized as “an independent stroke reducer.”
