I usually have a sore neck after a long time on the phone and computer, so shoulder and neck massage has become a new way to relax. 29-year-old Wang Pei (pseudonym), after returning home from the entertainment, found that the left side of his body could not move at all in the early morning, and he suffered an acute cerebral infarction. He likes to stay up all night, and he also went to massage before the incident… The doctor reminded that improper massage can easily cause carotid plaque to fall off or tear the intima of the blood vessel wall, resulting in cerebral infarction.
The man suffered a sudden cerebral infarction after drinking.
Wang Pei (pseudonym), 29, lives in Huadu, Guangzhou. At ten o’clock in the evening on March 4, he went home after socializing, and went to bed after a simple wash. “Around three in the morning, when he got up to go to the bathroom, he found that the left side of his body could not move at all.” Seeing this, Wang Pei’s wife Zhang Fang (pseudonym) immediately dialed 120 and sent him to a nearby hospital. At the local hospital, Wang Pei was told that it might be a cerebral infarction. In order to seek further diagnosis and treatment, Wang Pei came to the hospital on the evening of March 5.
The doctor in the hospital carefully checked the patient’s imaging data, combined with the physical examination, and believed that the possibility of acute cerebral infarction was high. After questioning the medical history, it was found that the patient had always felt uncomfortable in his neck in the past month, and two nights before the incident, he went to a nearby massage shop for shoulder and neck massage. “Cerebral angiography showed occlusion of the left vertebral artery V3 segment.” The doctor said that the patient was finally diagnosed with ischemic infarction of the medulla oblongata and high cervical spinal cord.
The rejuvenation of cerebral infarction may be related to bad living habits
The medulla oblongata is a very important functional organ of the human body, governing normal breathing and cardiac function. According to Kuang Zuying, medullary infarction can lead to serious complications such as respiratory failure and cardiac arrest, which are life-threatening at any time. “Ischemic infarction of the medulla oblongata and high cervical cord is very rare, especially in young people. The doctor explained.
After taking anti-platelet aggregation and other drugs and rehabilitation treatment, Wang Pei’s limb numbness and other symptoms gradually improved , and will be discharged in the near future.
“We understand that the patient has the habit of staying up late. “Experts said that in recent years, it is obvious that the incidence of cerebral infarction has a trend of getting younger. “It is related to bad living habits such as staying up late, eating salty and oily for a long time. “Long-term staying up late and lack of sleep will lead to endocrine hormone disorders, causing imbalance of blood vessel tension regulation; high-salt and high-fat diets can easily lead to increased blood pressure; and increased blood pressure can cause damage to the cerebrovascular wall, leading to thrombosis, resulting in ischemic stroke.
“Improper neck massage is also one of the important causes of cerebral infarction. Improper massage can easily lead to plaque shedding or tearing of the intima of the arterial vessel wall, resulting in arterial dissection, which in turn leads to acute cerebral infarction. “Experts emphasized that citizens and friends, especially young people, should develop good living habits, and neck massage should also be moderate. In the event of limb weakness, slurred speech, vision loss, skewed corners of the mouth, diplopia, etc., they should go to the hospital in time.
