Stroke is a dangerous disease that can leave many consequences. Often this is a paralyzed limb. The body that has suffered a strong shock is capable of reacting differently. Damage to blood vessels leads to a failure of fluid exchange, which is why the legs swell after a stroke.
After a stroke, the lower part of the body often swells. This is due to the process of damage to blood vessels during the actual impact. An acute transient disturbance in the blood circulation of the brain provokes a number of sudden changes affecting the legs.
The understanding of metamorphosis lies in the symptoms preceding the impact:
The consequences of a stroke affect the condition of the body's blood vessels. A sharp jolt of blood flow at the time of crisis displaces a mass of tissue fluid, muscle fibers swell. The accumulation of liquid media provokes various pathological processes, especially the legs are modified.
The cause of leg swelling is the blockage of the artery by various types of deposits on the inner walls of the line. The further movement of blood flow becomes difficult, causing swelling of the legs.
The process is preceded by changes during a stroke:
At the moment of agony of brain activity, the body, in an attempt to protect itself from stress, dissolves part of the adipose tissue to obtain additional energy. A lot of fluid is released, filling the vessels. The media contain additional substances for the breakdown of fat cells. Cholesterol compounds settle on the inner walls of the blood vessels in the legs.
Certain cases are accompanied by additional manifestations of stroke, such as pain in the leg. The communication between different parts of the circulatory nodes is disrupted, and the legs swell.
The side effect is associated with the pressure of tissues and blood vessels swollen from moisture on the nerve endings. An abundance of moisture with an insufficient oxygen content leads to a lack of supply of necessary substances to the nerve fibers. Violations provoke:
Starvation of nerve tissue leads to gradual atrophy of fibers. This turn of events leads to the loss of most functions of the nerve communication of the limb. Temporary paralysis can develop into a complete loss of functionality of the leg. As a result of the processes, edema of varying degrees of severity is formed.
The most important thing is to notice changes in time; the condition after a stroke is associated with apathy of consciousness of the victim. Reducing the degree of damage to the body and preventing the development of side effects depends on the concentration of loved ones.
After a stroke, the leg is paralyzed. The condition is often temporary; the leg will return to function after special therapy. Complications arise if the leg is swollen. The above illustrates the processes occurring latently in tissues.
If both legs swell, the phenomenon is an indicator:
The resulting swelling in the paralyzed leg illustrates other disorders:
On the part of loved ones, constant monitoring of the condition of the leg is required, ascertaining the reasons for the violation of the non-physiological position of the limb, and returning the normal position. If swelling is observed even after the recovery process, a series of tests are indicated. The main danger of this condition remains the formation of cancer cells under the pressure of constant metabolic disorders.
To prevent swelling of the legs as a consequence of a stroke, you need to:
By performing simple manipulations, you can achieve forced stimulation of blood flow, reducing the amount of fluid in the tissues. Massage becomes a particularly effective remedy in such a situation.
In addition to the measures taken, it is recommended to keep the patient on a prescribed gentle diet. An excess of salt and potent substances can provoke malfunctions of the internal organs of excretion.
The situation is being monitored through laboratory tests. A change in the composition of the blood provokes fluid retention in the tissues; the ratio of substances affects the walls of blood vessels, contributing to poor passage of fluids from the tissues into the blood flow. Changes noticed in a timely manner can prevent the development of type II diabetes.
Treatment that effectively relieves edema is aimed at stimulating the functioning of blood vessels. Since communication between different parts of the bloodstream becomes difficult, individual vessels are in a state of constant lack of tone. This phenomenon provokes the accumulation of fluid in the tissues.
To prevent additional swelling of the limb, two types of manipulations are required:
Both methods lead to forced vasoconstriction, additional displacement of moisture from the muscular system. Using this method, the elasticity of the blood vessels is restored and they return to their normal volume. If there is a significant decrease in leg volume and visible improvement, the compresses are stopped and replaced with frequent massages.
Treatment of the consequences of a stroke condition is kept under constant monitoring. The speed of vessel recovery remains an important factor. The resulting stress has an extremely serious impact on their condition.
To prevent constant swelling, it is recommended to monitor the composition of the blood and the accumulation of fluid in the tissues. Stimulating procedures put additional pressure on the arteries.
Without proper treatment, part of the vascular system may not recover at all. A return to normal will occur if you take vitamins and follow the rules of therapy, do massages in a timely manner, and put stress on the damaged areas of the limbs.
At home, some patients try not to use their damaged limbs. This leads to dystrophy of the muscular system. If the rules are followed, the vessels and arteries return to normal after a year and a half, fully beginning to fulfill natural duties.
Swollen legs (the cause of this pathology will be described below) should not cause people much concern, especially if the presented deviation occurs after long walks. But if the swelling of the lower extremities does not subside after an hour, and sometimes even increases in conjunction with any other symptoms (for example, pain or elevated body temperature), then you should definitely seek help from specialists.
So, let's figure out together the reason why legs swell.
Swelling of the legs in women in an “interesting” position is a fairly common phenomenon. Therefore, such a deviation is not given much importance, but only in those situations if the expectant mother is not bothered by her feet, which suddenly inflated like pillows, and also does not experience abdominal pain, problems with urination, nausea, blurred vision, dizziness or vomiting. If these signs still occur, you should immediately consult a doctor.
If you sprain a ligament when you accidentally twist your foot or sprain your ankle, swelling will not take long to appear. To eliminate it, it is recommended to apply an ice pack to your leg, bandage it tightly, and then lift it, leaning against the wall. Such measures should significantly reduce swelling. If this does not happen, and in addition to swelling there is pain, then you should urgently consult a traumatologist.
At first, swollen legs, the cause of which lies in the presented disease, do not cause any discomfort and are barely noticeable. But if lymphedema is not treated in time, it can go into a chronic stage, which is accompanied by deformation of the lower extremities.
In people with diabetes or loss of sensation, swelling of the lower extremities may occur due to an infection. Due to damaged nerve endings, the brain does not perceive pain signals, and the person does not notice how suppuration or ulcers progress. Therefore, people with such problems should examine their feet every day and consult a doctor if necessary.
The resulting blood clots can block the flow of blood from the feet to the heart muscle, causing people to complain that their left leg is swollen. The causes of this problem are related to poor diet, obesity, etc. But the danger of thrombosis is not that it causes the lower extremities to become very swollen, but that the blood clot can break off and travel with the flow to the lungs or heart. Therefore, pain and swelling in one leg should be extremely alarming to a person.
Sometimes diseases of one of these organs can cause a symptom such as swollen legs. The reason for this deviation is most often due to the fact that too much water accumulates in the body. If swelling is truly the result of poor functioning of internal organs, then you should urgently undergo a full examination.
Quite often, swelling of the legs occurs as a result of taking medications. In this case, treatment should be suspended and medications replaced if possible.
Edema of the extremities occurs when lymphatic and venous outflow is impaired, nervous trophism is impaired, and inflammatory processes occur. With prolonged standing or sitting, swelling is observed in the legs and feet.
Swelling of the lower extremities without signs of impaired blood and lymph circulation is usually a companion to various diseases: diseases of the genital organs, prostate cancer, sarcoma. Edema of the upper limb also occurs when venous and lymphatic drainage is disrupted after mastectomy, as a result of thrombosis or compression.
Edema is a companion to deep phlebitis. The skin becomes inflamed and red. As a temporary measure to relieve swelling, it may be advisable to lie down with your legs elevated above your head. If the outflow of lymph is impaired in the body, the skin becomes soft and then thickens. Swelling of the limbs becomes permanent. This is the so-called elephantiasis.
In hot weather, swelling of the legs can be caused by dilation of blood vessels. If your legs swell after standing for a long time, your lower back and sacrum hurt especially when lying down, the veins in your neck swell, your abdominal cavity swells, then these may be problems with the heart and liver. And only a comprehensive medical analysis and subsequent treatment will help.
If swelling of the legs is accompanied by swelling of the face and swelling in the morning , then this indicates problems with the kidneys
Treatment for leg swelling can be done at home, but only after consulting a doctor. These can be baths with sea salt or dry mustard (1 tablespoon per 1 liter of water). The folk method will also help. Cotton bags are placed on the legs and filled with birch leaves. At the same time, your feet sweat a lot. Every 3 - 4 hours, replace wet leaves with fresh ones.
Treatment of swelling of the extremities:
2. Traditional medicine often recommends apricot fruits for diseases of the skin, oral mucosa, trophic ulcers of the lower leg, cardiovascular diseases accompanied by swelling of the face and limbs.
3. For edema of cardiac origin , as well as as a pain reliever for stomach colic, drink 1/2 cup of fresh cucumber juice 2-3 times a day.
4. To get rid of swelling on the legs , a network of thin veins, you need to rub the sore spots with vodka tincture from fresh leaves of Kalanchoe pinnate. To prepare the tincture, take 15 g of Kalanchoe leaves per 20 g of vodka. Leave for 5 hours, strain and apply to sore areas.
5. For swelling of the legs, take 4 tbsp. l. flaxseed per 1 liter of water, boil for 10-15 minutes, cover the pan and place in a warm place. Let it brew for 1 hour. You don’t have to strain it. For taste, add lemon or other fruit juice. Drink 1/2 glass every 2 hours 6-8 times a day. It is better to drink the infusion hot. The course of treatment is 2-3 weeks.
6. with swelling of the legs ; they have a mild diuretic property. Dry the lemon zest and grind it (you can mince fresh lemon zest and then dry it). Take 1/2 tsp zest powder. 3 times a day 30 minutes before meals, washed down with warm water and a spoonful of honey.
7. To relieve swelling of the extremities, drink a light diuretic: mix 0.5 cups of freshly squeezed carrot juice, cucumber juice and the juice of 1 medium lemon. Divide the drink into 3 doses and drink 3 times a day, diluting the portion by half with warm boiled water.
8. If your feet often swell and it becomes increasingly difficult for you to wear the shoes you like because of this, and even more so if you are an elderly person and have been suffering from this problem for a long time, then a simple recipe from traditional medicine will help you. Mix olive and camphor oil in equal quantities, lubricate your feet with this mixture, and rub thoroughly with massaging movements. Then wrap each leg with a cotton cloth and then a woolen cloth (scarf, shawl) and leave overnight. It is better to do this procedure every day for a month.

I think many of you have heard about such a disease as acute myocardial infarction. How many of your friends have had this disease? Acute myocardial infarction is one of the most common diseases in the world. Mortality is about 1/3 of all sick people. The risk of getting sick again remains high after a heart attack.
The classic sign of the onset of a myocardial infarction is pain. The pain is characterized by the following symptoms: severe, intense, occurs in the left half of the chest. The attack is quite long, the pain radiates to the left shoulder blade, arm, and lower jaw. If someone suffers from angina pectoris, then such pain resembles an attack of angina pectoris.
What if the attack occurred for the first time? Sometimes there are cases when there is no classic attack of pain. There are other forms of acute myocardial infarction and the patient, not paying attention to the ailment, continues to live. During diagnosis, for example, when applying for work, it is accidentally discovered that a person has suffered a myocardial infarction on his legs. Such cases occur, on average, in 20% when the disease is painless.
Let's look at the forms of atypical course of myocardial infarction, when you should take more care of yourself.
· Abdominal – manifested by intense pain in the abdomen. Nausea, vomiting, bloating. On palpation there is pain in the stomach area.
· Asthmatic - attack of suffocation, cough in the absence of pain in the heart area. A drop in blood pressure may occur.
· Arrhythmic - manifested by rhythm disturbances, palpitations, and cardiac arrest.
· Collaptoid – characterized by a sharp drop in pressure, fainting, and an attack of dizziness.
· Cerebral – manifested by symptoms of cerebrovascular insufficiency. Nausea, vomiting, disturbances of consciousness, paresis, weakness in an arm or leg, speech impairment.
· Erased – there are practically no symptoms. There may be weakness, sweating, vague chest pain.
Why did you list all the forms? Because when you know the disease, it is easier to fight it. The disease has very dangerous complications. Especially if you find out about the disease after complications have appeared. Let's talk about complications. They can be early or late.
Early ones appear immediately in the first minutes, hours during a heart attack and include:
· Cardiogenic shock (sharp drop in blood pressure).
· Acute left ventricular failure (pulmonary edema).
Late complications develop on average a month or more after myocardial infarction. These include:
· Chronic cardiac aneurysm.
· Chronic heart failure.
· Tendency to thrombosis.
Diagnosis for suspected acute myocardial infarction is as follows:
- Blood chemistry.
— Tests for the study of myoglobin, troponin. These tests can be purchased at any pharmacy to quickly diagnose myocardial infarction.
— Electrocardiogram. Currently the most common method for diagnosing the disease.
There are many other diagnostic methods. But if you have complaints, undergo at least a minimal examination. For your peace of mind. The complications are written briefly, but I do not recommend encountering them. After all, every fifth person who suffered a heart attack was on their legs. This speaks of indifference to oneself. If you experience symptoms of illness, seek medical help. This way you will reduce the risk of possible disability and extend your life.
