QuestionHello doctor,
My father is 63 years old this year. Three children have been ill for more than 6 months and have been examined in many hospitals only for cerebral infarction and white part disease in small blood vessels. My father often feels cold in the afternoon and evening. Currently, three children also have severe insomnia because of the cold and can't eat anything but white porridge. So the doctor asked me what is the cause of cold in patients with cerebral infarction? Thank you doctor.

Hello,
With the question “What is the cause of cold in patients with cerebral infarction? ”, the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Brain infarction and white matter damage do not cause cold symptoms or insomnia. A patient who can't eat, is tired, has insomnia, needs to be examined in general to rule out dangerous diseases, especially cancer, hypothyroidism, and adrenal insufficiency. If these diseases are excluded, the most common causes of fatigue, poor appetite, and poor sleep are neuropsychiatric diseases such as depression, anxiety, etc. In addition, preventive treatment is also required. It's good to have a recurrent stroke to avoid having a recurrent stroke.
If you still have questions about the cause of cold, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wish you a lot of health.
Best regards!
