“I didn’t think I would have this disease at such a young age…”
Living in the neurology ward of the Second People’s Hospital of Yuhang District, Hangzhou
Xiao Wu,
Looking at the ceiling was uncomfortable.
The family members who escorted him also sighed.
This 32-year-old young man was alive and well a week ago.
Some time ago, Xiao Wu fell for no reason. At that time, he only felt a little pain, and the strength of his right limb was slightly weaker. After getting up, he hurried to work.
Waking up the next morning, Xiao Wu was inexplicably dizzy, and his right hand and foot were weak and numb. At first, he didn’t particularly care.
At noon, an “accident” happened. At that time, the whole family was eating around, and the family found that something was wrong with him, his speech was incoherent, and the rice also rolled from his mouth… Not long after, Xiao Wu suddenly fell to the ground, the corners of his mouth were crooked, and his hands and feet were not obeying.
The family immediately contacted the 120 ambulance and took Xiao Wu to the emergency room of the Second Yuhang Hospital.
Soon, the results of the imaging examination came out, which was an acute “cerebral infarction” (commonly known as stroke or stroke), and the hospital immediately started the acute stroke treatment process.
It is a pity that Xiao Wu has had “cerebral infarction” for half a day and missed the 6-hour “golden thrombolysis” window period, which is very precious in medicine.
After a period of treatment, Xiao Wu is now able to walk with a limping, and will need a longer period of rehabilitation in the later stage.
Wang Jianer, deputy director of the neurology department, the doctor in charge, revealed the “culprit” of Xiao Wu’s illness.
Xiao Wu often watches dramas, plays games late at night, takes out food and supper all night long, never leaves sugary drinks, and smokes at least one pack a day.
Xiao Wu himself has underlying diseases such as high blood pressure and diabetes. He took a fluke and did not take medicine on time, nor did he monitor the changes in his condition in time.
The superposition of these adverse factors resulted in stenosis, sclerosis and embolism of cerebral blood vessels over time, and eventually cerebral infarction occurred.
It should be reminded that these acute cerebrovascular diseases are not exclusive to middle-aged and elderly people, and they are also quietly targeting some young people who do not follow the “rules” of healthy living.
For this reason, Director Wang specially reminded: the early symptoms of cerebral infarction may be manifested as facial paralysis, partial numbness, facial sensory disturbance; sudden weakness and numbness in one arm or one limb ; If there is slurred speech, unclear articulation, or unclear expression, attention should also be paid to it; once the above symptoms appear, be sure to seek medical attention as soon as possible, do not wait for the symptoms to disappear on their own, and pay enough attention.
Finally, Director Wang still wants to give some advice to young people: you can’t live your life as you like and waste your health capital just because you are young. Usually, you must pay attention to your diet, mainly light, and maintain a low-salt, low-fat, low-sugar, and healthy diet; exercise in moderation, such as swimming, walking, jogging or Tai Chi, which can be combined with your own situation. Do proper exercise; have good living habits, quit smoking, limit alcohol, and do not stay up late.
