A 32-year-old Internet singer died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage
On October 14, according to Jimu News, recently, 32-year-old online singer "Yunnan Akui" suddenly suffered a cerebral hemorrhage after the live broadcast and was in a coma and was admitted to the ICU (intensive care unit) for rescue.
According to the description of netizens who watched his live broadcast, on October 6, Akui was broadcasting live normally, and there were more than 2,000 people watching the live broadcast at that time.
On October 9, the account "Yunnan Akui" stated that Akui was in a coma. On the 12th, the relevant staff of the "Yunnan Akui" team said that Akui was in the ICU of the hospital for rescue treatment, and the situation was not optimistic. On the 14th, Aqua died. ①
On October 15, Miao Zhongrong, chief physician of the Neurology Center of Beijing Tiantan Hospital, said in an interview with the People's Daily health client, "There are two main aspects of cerebral hemorrhage, on the one hand, the patient's middle cerebral vascular aneurysm ruptures, resulting in subarachnoid hemorrhage, which will be life-threatening if the amount of bleeding is large." On the other hand, for young patients with intracerebral hemorrhage, there are more cases of intracerebral hemorrhage caused by high blood pressure. ”②
Why do young people also get strokes?
Intracerebral hemorrhage is a type of stroke. Cerebral stroke, also known as stroke in medical terms, generally includes cerebral infarction and cerebral hemorrhage.
He Xin, deputy chief physician of the Department of Neurosurgery of Beijing Friendship Hospital, mentioned in a video released on the People's Daily Health Account on October 10 that cerebral hemorrhage and stroke are no longer a geriatric disease, and their onset is getting younger and younger, and the related factors that cause the disease are also getting younger and younger. Because young people are nervous at work, stay up late, and at the same time think that they are young and neglect to monitor and control blood pressure, which leads to the occurrence of cerebral hemorrhage. ②

Liu Jianfeng, chief physician of the Department of Neurology of the Eighth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, said in an interview with "First Scene" in 2021 that they had investigated the situation of stroke among young people, and most of the patients had a high-fat diet, drank a lot of drinks, stayed up late, and worked at high intensity. This group of people feels that they are young and have little chance of getting sick, but in fact, young people have a stroke very close and the incidence is not low. ③
These are stroke "accelerators"
1. High or low blood pressure
"Young people must pay attention to whether they have high blood pressure, and they should not ignore it because they are young." Dr. Miao Zhongrong reminded that blood pressure should be measured in time in daily life, and if you have high blood pressure, you should take medicine on time to control your blood pressure. ②
Guo Shuhong, director of the cardiology department of Zhuzhou Central Hospital in Hunan Province, once said in an article in the Health Times that low blood pressure may also lead to stroke (cerebral infarction). In general, hypotension is considered when blood pressure is below 90/60 mm Hg. Hypotension is a risk factor for asymptomatic cerebral infarction and progressive stroke, and acute or chronic hypotension may lead to cerebral infarction. ④
2. Unstable blood sugar
Wang Aiping, director of the endocrinology department of the Air Force Hospital of the Eastern Theater Theater, once said in an article in the Health Times that diabetic patients are a high-risk group for stroke, because diabetic patients have long-term high blood sugar levels, hyperinsulinemia, dyslipidemia, protein non-enzyme glycation, and high blood viscosity, which lead to arteriosclerosis and thrombosis, or blood vessel rupture, thus causing cerebrovascular lesions. To prevent stroke, sugar friends should first control blood sugar, blood pressure, and blood lipids. ⑤

3. Tobacco and alcohol
According to the Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Stroke in China (2021), smoking can increase the relative risk of ischemic stroke by 90% and the risk of subarachnoid hemorrhage by nearly 2 times. Heavy drinkers had a 22% increased risk of stroke compared with those who drank less or quit drinking. ⑥
Wang Ye, an attending physician in the Department of Neurology of Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital, said in an article in the health newspaper in 2024 that smoking and passive smoking can cause hypercoagulability of blood, damage the vascular endothelium, and reduce cerebral blood flow. After drinking, the body produces a large amount of catecholamines and adrenaline, which stimulates the sympathetic nervous system, makes the heart beat faster and blood pressure higher. ⑦
4. Eat foods with three highs
Dr. Wang Ye said that poor eating habits can increase the risk factors for stroke, such as high blood pressure, high blood lipids, high blood sugar, etc. You should reduce your intake of high-calorie, high-salt, and high-sugar foods, eat breakfast on time, and avoid overeating. ⑦
5. Drinking too little water
People who don't like to drink water will lack water in their bodies, and their blood will tend to be thicker, increasing the risk of blood vessel blockage. Don't wait until you're thirsty to drink water, you can put a glass of water at the bedside when you go to bed at night, and take a few sips half an hour before bed and when you wake up in the morning.
6. Not exercising regularly
Dr. Wang Ye said that many people often sit in front of the computer for a long time when they work, and like to "lie flat" when they go home, and their bodies are seriously lacking in exercise. In the long run, obesity, hyperlipidemia and other diseases will "come to the door". Young people should not only keep their mouths shut, but also open their legs to prevent strokes. ⑦
7. Staying up late a lot
When staying up late, the biological clock of the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular vessels will also be disrupted, resulting in excessive secretion of adrenaline and norepinephrine in the body, which makes blood vessels constrict, blood flow slow, and viscosity increases. ⑧
8. Have a big belly
Fat accumulation in the abdomen is very harmful to health. Obesity not only increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, but also increases the risk of cancer. The recommended waist circumference is not more than 90 cm for men and 85 cm for women.
9. Stressful both physically and mentally
Physical fatigue and excessive mental pressure will also induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, especially in modern society, some people bear the double pressure of work and life, and always have negative energy every day, resulting in mental tension, and it is easy to get sick when it accumulates to a certain extent.
10. Getting angry too easily
Song Enfeng, director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of the People's Hospital of Wuhan University, once said in an article in the Health Times that anger will cause sympathetic nerve excitement, increased blood pressure, and increased heart rate, which will indeed increase the burden on the heart and brain, and it is often easy to have cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents. ⑨
