“I didn’t think smoking was harmful before, but I was really afraid until I had a cerebral infarction, and I will never smoke again.” On the morning of the 22nd, Mr. Li, a 52-year-old citizen, was lying in Changchun People’s Hospital On the bed of the integrative medicine department, he said with fear while receiving rehabilitation treatment.
Mr. Li told reporters that he has been a smoker for 36 years. Because he has a lot of entertainment, he doesn’t leave his cigarettes in his hands. He smokes one or two boxes a day. He also likes to drink alcohol. A week ago, Mr. Li suddenly felt that his speech was clumsy, and his right limb was numb and weak. Because a relative in the family had suffered a cerebral infarction, Mr. Li immediately realized that the situation was not good. Accompanied by his family, Mr. Li came to Changchun People’s Hospital and was diagnosed with cerebral infarction after examination. Mr. Li was immediately pushed into the operating room, and the doctor used interventional surgery to immediately give the patient arterial thrombolysis. Half an hour after the operation, Mr. Li’s symptoms of numbness and weakness in his right limb were completely relieved.
Director Jiang Yongfei of the Department of Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine introduced that Mr. Li’s sudden cerebral infarction has a lot to do with long-term heavy smoking. Smoking is harmful to health. Even if you only smoke one cigarette a day, the nicotine in tobacco will also be in the blood vessels. In the long run, it will definitely bring harm to health. Jiang Yongfei reminded everyone that once an abnormality occurs in the body, they should seek medical treatment as soon as possible, and cannot blindly rescue themselves or wait for the condition to be relieved, because within 4.5 hours is the golden time for the treatment of ischemic stroke.
