Bad habits can easily trigger health alarms, so we should pay attention to them. Recently, Mr. Chen, a 44-year-old man in Guangdong, suffered a second stroke in six months, and doctors peeled a plaque from his carotid artery that resembled a "shelled shrimp". The reason for this is that Mr. Chen has many bad habits and even drinks beer as water.
Mr. Chen, 44, was admitted to the hospital for a minor stroke in August last year and was discharged after conditioning. Unexpectedly, in early February this year, he was hospitalized again due to a stroke. "My left foot is weak, I can't walk, my left hand is stiff, I came to the hospital by car, I can't feel my feet, I can't get off the ground." Mr. Chen said.
"I don't think it's okay, so I don't pay attention to it, and I don't take a little medicine. I often eat fatty pork, drink alcohol and smoke. Mr. Chen told reporters that when he had a stroke for the first time, the doctor told him not to smoke, but he didn't listen, "I smoke more when I go back and am bored, two packs a day." When the weather is hot, beer is drunk as water, and I don't like to eat fruit. ”
The superposition of many bad lifestyle habits made Mr. Chen's second stroke more serious. The doctor found that Mr. Chen's right internal carotid artery was completely occluded. After surgery, doctors actually removed a plaque from his carotid artery that resembled a "shelled shrimp".
Lu Ming, vice president of Guangdong Sanjiu Brain Hospital: The plaque is nearly three centimeters long, like a shelled prawn. It blocks all the blood vessels, forming very hard plaques, and the blood can't flow here, like a stone in a river, the water can't flow, so the brain will be ischemia, and it will cause him to have a stroke.
The doctor said that if you have symptoms such as short-term memory loss, speech impairment, and movement imbalance, you should go to the hospital to check whether you have a stroke.
Lu Ming, vice president of Guangdong Sanjiu Brain Hospital: Eating high-protein and high-fat foods regularly, living an irregular life, participating in less sports, drinking less water, and drinking a lot of various synthetic beverages are all basic reasons for us to accelerate atherosclerosis. If these bad habits can be corrected, the rate at which we develop atherosclerosis will be greatly reduced.
