Cold, many people think it’s a small problem,

If you carry it, it will pass!

But Nini (pseudonym), a 23-year-old girl from Guangzhou,

did not “carry” into the ICU.

Nini developed cold symptoms and went to the hospital for treatment 2 days later. The doctor immediately admitted to the ICU for rescue with “cardiogenic shock, fulminant myocarditis, hyperkalemia” , Nini’s heart stopped immediately! The hospital immediately activated the “artificial heart-lung machine” – ECMO. After 6 days and 6 nights of hard work by the medical staff, Nini’s heart began to beat again, and she was successfully evacuated from ECMO on the 13th day. The doctor introduced that after Nini caught a cold, the virus invaded the heart through the blood, causing severe myocarditis.

Cold for 2 days can cause serious consequences of cardiac arrest for 6 days?

There are really many examples of myocarditis outbreaks because of a cold. In order to raise the attention of parents, I will open a special article today. Let’s talk about this knowledge.

How to distinguish between a cold and myocarditis?

Cold symptoms 1-3 weeks before the discovery of myocarditis: fever, fatigue, nasal congestion, runny nose rhinorrhea, sore throat, and cough; some are manifested as abdominal pain, diarrhea, “gastrointestinal cold” (ie viral gastroenteritis) and other symptoms, which generally last for less than 1 week, and most of them are ignored.

The specific manifestations of myocarditis include:

Chest tightness, chest pain, palpitations, or shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, as well as dizziness, extreme fatigue, nausea, decreased appetite and other symptoms, most patients seek medical attention at this stage.

myocarditis “preferred” children and 18-40 year olds /span>

Although myocarditis can occur in all ages from young children to the elderly, it is most common in children and 40-year-olds. Most of them are adults below. 35% of the patients are between 10 and 30 years old. Males are slightly higher than females. People in this age group usually have a lot of activities, and they are also under greater academic and work pressure. At the same time, they pay little attention to their health.
