Usually the mobile phone computer time for a long time neck sore, shoulder and neck massage has become a way for many people to relax. However, guangzhou doctors remind that improper massage can easily cause carotid artery plaque to fall off or the lining of the blood vessel wall to tear, resulting in cerebral infarction.
A young man has a brain infarction after drinking
Wang Pei (pseudonym), 29, lives in Huadu. At about 10 p.m. on March 4, he returned home after socializing, washed up and went to bed. "At about three o'clock 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." Wang Pei's wife, Zhang Fang (pseudonym), saw the situation and immediately dialed 120 to take him to a nearby hospital. At the local hospital, Wang Pei was told it might be a cerebral infarction. In order to seek further diagnosis and treatment, on the evening of March 5, Wang Pei was transferred to Guangdong Sanjiu Brain Hospital.
Kuang Zuying, assistant director of the first department of neurology who received the hospital, carefully examined the patient's imaging data, combined with physical examination, and believed that it was more likely that acute cerebral infarction was greater. Asking about the medical history, it was learned that the patient always felt that the neck was not very comfortable in the past month, and two nights before the incident, he went to a nearby massage shop for shoulder and neck massage. "Cerebral angiography shows occlusion of the V3 segment of the left vertebral artery." Kuang Zuying said that the patient was eventually diagnosed with medulla oblongata and high cervical cord ischemic infarction.
Cerebral infarction is younger or associated with bad lifestyle habits
The medulla oblongata is a very important functional organ of the human body, which governs the normal respiratory and cardiac functions of the human body. Kuang Zuying introduced that myeloid infarction can lead to more serious complications such as respiratory failure and heart beat stoppage, and life is in danger at any time. "Ischemic infarction of the bulbar and high cervical cord is very rare, especially in young people." Kuang Zuying explains.
After giving drugs such as antiplatelet aggregation and rehabilitation treatment, Wang Pei's symptoms such as limb numbness gradually improved, and he will be discharged from the hospital in the near future.
"We learned that patients have a habit of staying up late." Wang Zhanhang, vice president of the hospital and an expert in neurology, said that in recent years, the incidence of obvious sensory cerebral infarction has a trend of gradually becoming younger. "It is related to bad living habits such as staying up late for a long time, eating salty and oily." Long-term staying up late and not sleeping enough will lead to endocrine hormone disorders, causing imbalance in vascular tone regulation; diets with high salt and high oil can easily cause blood pressure to rise; and increased blood pressure will cause damage to the cerebrovascular wall, resulting in thrombosis, resulting in ischemic stroke.
"Improper neck massage is also one of the important triggers for cerebral infarction. Improper massage can easily cause plaque shedding or tearing of the lining of arterial vessel walls, resulting in arterial dissection, which can lead to acute cerebral infarction. Wang Zhanhang stressed that the public, especially young people, should develop good living habits, neck massage should also be moderate, once there is limb weakness, unclear speech, vision loss, crooked corners, diplopia, etc., should go to the hospital in time.
