Just because I took a bath, I ended up having a stroke.
Lao Deng, who was lying in the intensive care unit, recalled his illness experience and was still afraid.
Speaking of which, many people have such questions, what is the situation? Isn't it just taking a bath, why did you suddenly have a stroke?
Lao Deng said, the New Year, a large family together, very happy, so dinner I drank wine, also ate a lot of things, after dinner, I feel that the body is all wine and smoke, and a lot of sweat, I feel very uncomfortable, I went to take a hot bath, as a result, just after washing, I feel dizzy, at first did not pay attention, but the symptoms are getting more and more serious, accompanied by numbness and weakness in the right limb.
Because there is an electronic blood pressure monitor at home, Lao Deng asked his son to quickly take it, and measured his blood pressure, which was as high as 180/110mmHg.
When Lao Deng was sent to the hospital, the entire right limb could not move, and the condition was very critical, and through emergency examination, the doctor found that Lao Deng suffered from acute cerebral infarction, which was paralysis caused by cerebral infarction.
Why do I get a stroke after taking a shower?
The doctor said that the main reason is that the time of bathing is wrong, after drinking and eating, a large amount of blood is gathered in the digestive tract, and the blood flow to the head at this time has been reduced, and I also go to take a hot bath, when I take a hot bath, the capillaries on the surface of the body are dilated, and a large amount of blood rushes to the skin, which undoubtedly further aggravates the ischemia and hypoxia of the brain.
Another very important point is that 58-year-old Deng also suffers from hypertension, and people with high blood pressure are prone to cerebral atherosclerosis, so on the basis of arteriosclerosis, they did not pay attention to their living habits, which eventually led to a tragedy.
As a doctor, I would like to remind everyone that middle-aged and elderly people must do 3 things less after dinner, otherwise the risk of cerebral infarction and paralysis is very high.
1. Middle-aged and elderly people must not play mahjong after dinner
After the Chinese New Year, many middle-aged and elderly people are full of wine and food, and they want to engage in some entertainment activities, so playing mahjong has become the first choice.
But when mahjong is rubbed, there is no concept of time, some people can play late at night, and some people can stay up all night.
Sitting for a long time when playing mahjong, coupled with emotional excitement, for middle-aged and elderly people, a careless may induce cerebrovascular accidents.
Such cases abound, and during the Chinese New Year, many middle-aged and elderly people had a stroke while playing mahjong.
2. Middle-aged and elderly people must not take a hot shower immediately after dinner
The reason is very simple, eat and drink enough, a large amount of blood collects in the digestive tract, at this time the brain is hypoxic, easy to burnout, at this time, what you should do is to wait quietly for the digestion and absorption of food, at least 2 hours apart before considering going to the bath.
Don't be in a hurry, otherwise the risk factor will skyrocket.
3. Middle-aged and elderly people must not lie down immediately after dinner
Many middle-aged and elderly people can't wait to lie down and rest immediately after dinner, which is also not recommended, lying down immediately after being full of wine and food, which is very unfavorable to digestion and easy to lead to food reflux.
Lie down and rest immediately after eating, at this time the blood collects in the gastrointestinal tract, and the brain is prone to hypoxia, and if you lie still, the blood circulation will be slower, so you are also prone to stroke.
Once you find signs of stroke, including dizziness, headache, numbness of limbs, fatigue, hemiplegia, blurred vision, crooked corners of the mouth, slurred speech and other symptoms, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible, and keep in mind that the best time for thrombolysis is within 6 hours after the onset of the disease, and the sooner the better.
