How long can you live with posterior circulation ischemia

People perform many circulation exercises every day. Blood circulates continuously in the human body. Only when the blood can circulate can the human body survive. If there is a problem with blood circulation, then the person's body will have many problems and it may be life-threatening. Posterior circulation ischemia means carotid artery ischemia. Generally, problems should be treated in time. So how long can a person survive with posterior circulation ischemia?

Posterior circulation ischemia refers to transient ischemic attack (TIA) and cerebral infarction in the carotid artery system of the posterior circulation. Synonyms include vertebrobasilar ischemia, posterior circulation TIA and cerebral infarction, vertebrobasilar artery disease, and vertebrobasilar thromboembolic disease. In view of the fact that MRI diffusion-weighted imaging has found that about half of posterior circulation TIAs have clear infarction changes and the boundary between TIA and cerebral infarction is becoming increasingly blurred, using posterior circulation ischemia to cover posterior circulation TIA and cerebral infarction is beneficial to clinical operations. History of understanding of posterior circulation ischemia: In the 1950s, it was discovered that some TIA patients had severe stenosis or occlusion of the extracranial segment of the carotid artery. It was speculated that this was because the tissue in the vascular distribution area relied solely on collateral circulation for blood supply and was in a state of relative ischemia, which was called "carotid artery insufficiency."

Vestibular neuronitis is a sudden vertigo disease caused by involvement of the vestibular neurons. It is more common in young people and adults. The onset is often sudden, with vertigo and spontaneous nystagmus as the main clinical manifestations. Severe cases may be accompanied by nausea and vomiting, but no tinnitus or deafness; the vertigo lasts for a short time. The symptoms usually gradually improve within a few days and are generally fully recovered within 2 weeks. A small number of patients may experience varying degrees of dizziness, vertigo, and instability for a short period of time.

In the near future, it is generally necessary to take blood vessel clearing drugs for treatment to prevent further aggravation of spasms. In addition, attention should be paid to controlling blood pressure within the normal range and eating a light diet, avoiding spicy and irritating foods and overly greasy foods. Also, pay attention to quitting smoking and drinking. Returning to the previous state is unlikely and not completely reversible.
