Cheng Qi, 54, is a construction site worker who is usually busy with work and a fast pace of life.
One morning, he woke up with a sharp pain in his head, but he thought it was just that he hadn't slept well the night before, so he didn't pay much attention to it. On the second day, the headache not only did not relieve, but became more serious, and Cheng Qi still thought it was because of poor rest. He decided to hold on a little longer, hoping that the symptoms would slowly subside.
However, early on the morning of the third day, Cheng Qi suddenly collapsed at home and remained motionless. When the family found out, they immediately called the emergency number.
When the ambulance came, Cheng Qi was already unconscious and was immediately taken to the hospital. After examination, the doctor found that he had a cerebral hemorrhage, which was very serious.
Dr. Cui, the neurosurgeon who received the consultation, looked at Cheng Qi, who was critically ill, and his heart was full of regret. Dr. Cui told Cheng Qi's family: "If he had come to the hospital earlier, it might not have been so serious."
Through a detailed examination, Dr. Cui found that Cheng Qi's cerebral hemorrhage had caused extensive brain damage, and there was little hope for treatment.
Dr. Cui explained that intracerebral hemorrhage is a sudden cerebrovascular disease that is common in patients with high blood pressure and ruptured cerebral aneurysms.
Cheng Qi's condition may be due to the failure of long-term hypertension to be effectively controlled, resulting in the thinning of the blood vessel wall, and at some point the blood vessel ruptures, causing severe cerebral hemorrhage.
To give the family a clearer picture of the severity of the disease, Dr. Choi shared another similar case. A middle-aged man usually has poor blood pressure control and often feels headaches, but he always thinks that it is because of work pressure or not resting well.
One day, he suddenly felt a severe headache and vomiting and was already in a coma when he was taken to the hospital. After emergency surgery, although his life was saved, he was left with serious sequelae and his quality of life was greatly reduced.
Dr. Cui explained that the early symptoms of intracerebral hemorrhage often manifest as sudden severe headache, nausea, vomiting, and even confusion and limb weakness.
The appearance of these symptoms often indicates serious cerebrovascular problems and must not be ignored. If you can seek medical attention early and have a CT or MRI scan, many patients with intracerebral hemorrhage can be saved by surgery and medication.
Dr. Choi says that high blood pressure is like putting a burden on blood vessels, keeping them in a high pressure state all the time, which increases the risk of blood vessel rupture for a long time, especially for people who don't care much about taking medication or controlling blood pressure. Therefore, controlling blood pressure and keeping it within the normal range is a key measure to prevent intracerebral hemorrhage.
Dr Cui added that not only high blood pressure, but also smoking, drinking, eating greasy food, and exercising less are also risk factors for cerebral hemorrhage.
Dr. Cui advises Cheng Qi's family members, especially those with high blood pressure and other risk factors, to have regular check-ups and pay attention to blood pressure and cerebrovascular health.
In a conversation with Cheng Qi's family, Dr. Cui emphasized the importance of prevention. They need to know how to pay attention to the early symptoms of cerebral hemorrhage, not to take it lightly, and to take the body's warning signs seriously. He also suggested that family members help Cheng Qi manage blood pressure in daily life and develop healthy lifestyle habits, such as quitting smoking and limiting alcohol, eating reasonably, and exercising moderately.
The tragedy made Cheng Qi's family deeply realize the preciousness of health, and they began to take active measures to prevent similar situations from happening again.
They not only strengthened the health management of Cheng Qi, but also spread these important health knowledge to relatives and friends, hoping that everyone can benefit from it and reduce the occurrence of similar tragedies.
If you have a severe headache accompanied by symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness or limb weakness, don't hesitate to seek medical attention. Write down when your symptoms appeared, how long they lasted, and other conditions so that your doctor can make a more accurate diagnosis.
Tests such as CT or MRI are then done as soon as possible, which can quickly detect serious problems such as brain hemorrhage. Early detection and treatment are key to preventing serious consequences, so don't ignore any sudden physical discomfort, especially headaches and other symptoms that may be associated with cerebrovascular problems. Through these measures, you can effectively protect the health of yourself and your family and avoid all tragedies.
