On a cold winter's day, Zhang Hua, an ordinary librarian, lit a fire in his hut, hoping to dispel the cold outside the window.
He flipped through the books in his hand while enjoying the warmth of the fire.
But at this moment, accidentally, the back of his hand lightly touched the stove, and he sighed softly, and then became red and swollen.
He hurriedly put on his coat and set out on the journey to the community hospital.
Walking into the hospital, Zhang Hua found that a health lecture was being held in the hospital. Originally, he just wanted to treat his wounds quickly, but he was attracted by the laughter and laughter that came from the lecture, so he stopped and decided to join in.
The doctor was vividly talking from the podium: "Everyone may have heard of cerebral infarction, but do you know that many cerebral infarctions are actually dragged out!" This opening sentence made Zhang Hua smile slightly, and at the same time aroused his curiosity.
The doctor went on to say that if there are 3 signs, then you should seek medical attention immediately.
The first is a sudden feeling of weakness or numbness in one side of the hand or foot, which may be a sign of a sudden ischemia in some part of the brain.
According to statistics, about 80% of patients with cerebral infarction will have this symptom in the early stage of the disease.
Zhang Hua thought to himself, this information is very important, he has to remember it, just in case.
The second sign is sudden slurred speech or difficulty understanding what others are saying.
The doctor referred to a study that showed that about 70% of people with cerebral infarction had speech impairment at the onset of the disease.
Zhang Hua thought that this really had something to do with his work, after all, he had to communicate with readers every day.
The third sign is sudden blurred vision or blindness.
The doctor gave a real case of a middle-aged man who ignored the signal, which had serious consequences.
After hearing this, Zhang Hua couldn't help but rub his eyes, thinking that he must not be careless when encountering this situation in the future.
During the lecture, the doctor also mentioned an often overlooked idea: long-term mental stress is the invisible killer of cerebral infarction.
He referred to a survey that showed that people with chronic high pressure had twice as many cerebral infarctions as the general population.
Zhang Hua then realized that although he seemed to be calm as a librarian, long-term work pressure and sedentary life were actually a hidden danger.
At the end of the lecture, instead of a traditional summary, the doctor asked a question that seemed less relevant to today's topic: "Do you know why sometimes when walking on a cold street, you suddenly feel dizzy?" This question caused a wide discussion among the audience.
The doctor explained that it actually has a lot to do with our blood pressure.
Cold weather can cause blood vessels to constrict, blood pressure to rise, and people who have blood pressure problems or vascular disease are more likely to feel dizzy in cold environments.
Long-term hypertension is one of the important factors leading to cerebral infarction.
After listening to the doctor's explanation, Zhang Hua suddenly realized that these small details in daily life may be closely related to our health.
He decided to take more care of his health when he returned home and also to share the valuable information he heard today with his family and friends.
When he walked out of the hospital, the wind outside was still cold, but his heart was much warmer. He knows that only by paying attention to health and cherishing life can this winter stop being cold.
