Angiospasm of cerebral vessels is a disease characterized by a narrowing of the blood vessels, capillaries and small arteries. This pathology leads to a violation of blood circulation and tissue metabolism. As a result, the brain receives less oxygen. The main causes of angiospasm are constant stress, osteochondrosis, various diseases of the cardiovascular system and heredity.
Symptoms of angiospasm of cerebral vessels
Symptoms of this condition include:
- noise in the ears ;
- headache (can give in whiskey, eyes or back of the head);
- nausea or vomiting;
- fast fatiguability;
- the appearance of flies in the eyes.
With cerebral angiospasm of the cerebral vessels, all the symptoms are more pronounced and can appear simultaneously or in turn, replacing each other, and also intensify with a general deterioration of well-being. This is a very serious disease that can cause speech and memory problems. When there are signs of it, you must immediately make a magnetic resonance imaging of the head and neck, as well as ultrasound examination of the cervical spine, which will help you to know what the diameter of the affected vessels.
Treatment of angiospasm of cerebral vessels
For the treatment of angiospasm of cerebral vessels, vasodilator preparations are prescribed, which improve oxygen uptake and blood supply, and relieve spasm. It can be:
- Nootropil;
- Vinpocetine;
- Piracetam.
Patients with impaired blood supply to the brain, which is combined with high blood pressure, is prescribed Verapamil and Nifedipine. These drugs are calcium antagonists . They block the transport channels and relax the smooth muscles of the vessels. The concomitant effect of these drugs is a rapid decrease in blood viscosity. Due to this, its rheological characteristics are improved.
