Unbelievable! Yang Wei, a 43-year-old Olympic champion, wore a ventilator for life and could not breathe in for 6 minutes after sleeping
Yang Wei is one of the legends of Chinese gymnastics, he has won several world championships, and the gymnastics all-around champion at the 2008 Beijing Olympics is the most brilliant page of Yang Wei's career. His outstanding skills, extraordinary perseverance, and spirit of not admitting defeat have won the recognition and love of many netizens. After retiring, Yang Wei continued to contribute to society and spread the spirit of gymnastics with a new identity, and he participated in public welfare activities and programs more than once.
In family life, Yang Wei also successfully played the role of a good husband and father. He and his wife Yang Yun have both children and a happy family. After retiring, Yang Wei can spend more time with his wife and care about the growth of his children. In general, Yang Wei's first 40 years can definitely be regarded as a winner in life. However, what was quite surprising was that Yang Wei's health suddenly turned red. Yang Wei revealed on social media that he must wear a ventilator for life, which also made many fans express concern about the Olympic champion's health.
Yang Wei updated his social feed, claiming that once a strong athlete is now on a ventilator. Yang Wei revealed that he recently began to snore while sleeping, and the doctor's diagnosis was that there was a problem with the respiratory tract, resulting in the inability to breathe in when sleeping. Yang Wei's most serious time did not breathe in for up to 6 minutes during sleep, which is very dangerous and may even endanger his life if it goes on for a long time. In fact, Yang Wei fell asleep and he didn't know it, and he was also very shocked when he learned it, but he could only follow the doctor's advice and wear a ventilator for life.
In this regard, many netizens have also popularized relevant knowledge, and Yang Wei's situation is likely to belong to sleep apnea syndrome. Apnea during sleep is very dangerous, resulting in a feeling of holding your breath, and then the brain is deprived of oxygen, which may be life-threatening in severe cases. Not only Yang Wei, but also actress Chen Qiaoen has had a similar situation, she even stopped breathing 25 times an hour, tens of seconds each time, and she had to operate for health reasons. When Yang Wei recorded a video and took a ventilator to lie on the bed, netizens felt very uncomfortable. After all, in the hearts of netizens, Yang Wei's image is still stuck in the scene of raising the national flag and playing the national anthem at the Beijing Olympics fifteen years ago, and the current scene is somewhat unacceptable.
In fact, many athletes before they retire, high-intensity training and competitions are overdrawn physically, which leads to their obvious aging once they pass the age of 40, and many diseases also come to the door, which is a very heartfelt fact. In the first half of their lives, they won glory for the country and worked hard, and they also hope that in the second half, they can pay attention to their physical health. Especially a high-quality idol like Yang Wei, I hope that he can recover as soon as possible.
