Wang Lei is a 35-year-old IT engineer who is usually busy at work and has a stressful life.
Health is no trivial matter, and the alarm bell needs to ring for a long time
A few days ago, he felt a little unwell and began to have a fever and cough, but due to his busy work.
I didn't care, and continued to insist on going to work. However, the condition is getting worse, the cough is getting worse, and breathing becomes difficult.
Under the persuasion of his colleagues, Wang Lei finally decided to go to the hospital for examination.
The doctor performed a series of tests on him, including a complete blood test, chest X-ray, etc.
The results showed that Wang Lei's white blood cell count was significantly elevated, and the chest x-ray also had obvious inflammatory manifestations. Doctors diagnosed him with severe pneumonia and recommended that he be hospitalized immediately.
"Mr. Wang, your condition is quite serious, and I suggest that you be hospitalized immediately." The doctor said earnestly.
"Doctor, I've been very busy at work lately, can you take some medicine first and wait for a while before being hospitalized?" Wang Lei hesitated.
"Your condition is already very serious, and if it is not treated in time, the consequences are unimaginable.
Health comes first, and work can be done when you get better. The doctor patiently explained.
Wang Lei followed the doctor's advice and decided to be hospitalized immediately.
After being hospitalized, the doctor formulated a detailed treatment plan for him, including infusion, oxygen, antibiotic treatment, etc.
However, despite the best efforts of doctors and nurses, Wang Lei's condition did not improve significantly.
His breathing difficulties became more and more severe, and his blood oxygen saturation continued to drop. On the fourth day, Wang Lei suddenly developed symptoms of chest pain and shortness of breath.
The doctor immediately performed a CT scan for him, and the results were shocking, Wang Lei had a large embolism in his lungs and was in a very critical condition.
Doctors immediately gave him thrombolytic therapy and gave him the maximum dose of anticoagulant drugs.
"Mr. Wang, your condition is very critical, and we are doing our best to save you.
However, your family members should also be mentally prepared. The doctor said heavily. Wang Lei's wife couldn't stop crying when she heard the news.
She hated that she hadn't persuaded her husband to go to the hospital earlier, and why he always valued work more than life.
However, despite the best efforts of the doctors, Wang Lei died tragically on the morning of the fifth day.
is only 35 years old, when he has a successful career and a promising future, but because of a seemingly ordinary cold, he left this world forever.
Wang Lei's experience is a wake-up call for us. Seemingly ordinary fever and cough, if left untreated, can turn into a fatal pulmonary embolism.
Remind us that in the face of physical discomfort, we must pay attention to it, seek medical attention in time, and do not have a fluke mentality.
As an MD, I know that many of the early symptoms of a disease are subtle and easy to overlook.
But it is these seemingly ordinary symptoms that can be a precursor to a critical illness.
persistent fever and cough, which may be a manifestation of pneumonia; Sudden onset of chest pain and dyspnea may indicate pulmonary embolism.
I once had a patient who came to the hospital with chest pain.
At first, he thought it was just ordinary muscle pain, but upon examination, we found that he had a severe blockage in his coronary arteries.
A heart attack can occur at any time.
Luckily, he came to the doctor in time and we performed a coronary artery stent implant on him, saving his life.
This case teaches us that we must be vigilant in the face of physical discomfort.
Many people think that they are young and strong and will not get any serious diseases, but in fact, diseases do not stop because of your age.
On the contrary, young people nowadays are more likely to suffer from various chronic diseases due to high work pressure and irregular life.
Therefore, I appeal to everyone to seek medical attention in time once they feel unwell, and do not take chances.
The doctor will conduct targeted examinations and treatments based on your symptoms.
Early detection and early treatment can greatly improve the cure rate of the disease and avoid the deterioration of the disease.
At the same time, we should also pay attention to daily health management.
Eating a reasonable diet, exercising moderately, quitting smoking and limiting alcohol, and getting enough sleep are all important ways to maintain your health.
Especially for young and middle-aged people, life and work are stressful, and it is necessary to pay more attention to the combination of work and rest to avoid overwork.
I have a friend who is a lawyer and has a very busy job. He often stays up late and works overtime, and his diet is also very irregular, often eating some fast food and fried food.
At one point, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest and had difficulty breathing. I thought it was just overtiredness, so I didn't care.
As a result, the next morning, he was found unconscious at home, and after being taken to the hospital, he was diagnosed with an acute heart attack.
Although he was finally out of danger after being rescued, his heart function was severely impaired, and he had to take medication for a long time, and his quality of life was greatly reduced.
This case shows us how important a healthy lifestyle is.
We must learn to arrange work and life reasonably, and not regard work above all else.
No matter how busy and tired you are, you must learn to take a vacation for yourself to rest your body and mind.
At the same time, we should also pay attention to the health of our diet, eat less foods high in salt, oil and sugar, and eat more vegetables and fruits to ensure balanced nutrition.
Regular medical check-ups are also very important. Many diseases may have no obvious symptoms in the early stages.
However, through physical examination, problems can be detected early and intervened in time.
For people with a history of chronic diseases, it is even more important to follow the doctor's advice, have regular check-ups, and closely monitor the changes in the condition.
During a physical examination, I found that my blood sugar and blood lipids were a little high.
The doctor advised me to adjust my diet, exercise more, and have regular check-ups.
I followed my doctor's advice and adhered to a healthy lifestyle, and after a few months, all my indicators returned to normal.
This made me deeply aware of the importance of prevention and early intervention, and we must always be vigilant against the threat of disease!
