Dr. Huang Shichang
Symptoms of hypoxia in patients with cerebral infarction include dizziness, vertigo, nausea, and vomiting. Cerebral infarction is caused by impaired blood supply to the brain, leading to reduced perfusion and oxygen deficiency. This may result in headache, lightheadedness, nausea, vomiting, motor and sensory aphasia, and even coma. Once diagnosed, patients with cerebral infarction should promptly receive appropriate treatment. For patients in the acute phase, thrombolytic or anticoagulant therapy is recommended.
