Disease description:

I am 47 years old this year. Recently, I have been feeling extremely fatigued, constantly yawning, and experiencing unsteadiness while walking. Could this be cerebral thrombosis? I would like to ask the doctor, what are the warning signs of cerebral thrombosis?

Dr. Huang Shichang
The early warning signs of cerebral thrombosis mainly include the following: 1. Persistent yawning: Some patients may experience persistent yawning 5 to 10 days before onset, which may be caused by cerebral hypoxia. 2. Sudden dizziness: Dizziness may occur at any time before cerebrovascular disease, especially upon waking in the morning, when fatigued, or after bathing. 3. Gait abnormalities: Unsteady gait and numbness in the limbs may indicate a precursor to hemiplegia. 4. Sensory and motor dysfunction: Symptoms such as limb weakness and numbness, facial drooping, difficulty swallowing, and slurred speech may all be early signs of cerebral thrombosis. 5. Vision problems: Some patients may experience blurred vision or decreased visual acuity.
