On March 10, Mr. Wu (pseudonym) of Songgang, Bao'an, almost lost his life after drinking 3 or 2 ant wines, allergic shock, and myocardial infarction.
At about 17:00 on the same day, Mr. Wu was invited to a friend's house for dinner. The friend took out homemade ant wine to share with it, and Mr. Wu drank about 3 or two ant wines.
Just after drinking, Mr. Wu began to experience itching and flushing all over his body. Subsequently, Mr. Wu felt dizzy, chest tightness, a feeling of dizziness, panic after the sternum, and a slight chest pain, and even his left hand became numb. Subsequently, Mr. Wu spit out all the food he had just eaten.
However, mr. Wu's wife and three friends did not have any abnormalities after drinking, and the family immediately sent Mr. Wu to the emergency department of Songgang People's Hospital in Bao'an District, Shenzhen.
The doctor's preliminary judgment: the patient has developed severe anaphylactic shock. After asking about the medical history, it was learned that Mr. Wu had suffered from hypertension for 3 years and usually took medication regularly, but did not monitor blood pressure. Mr. Wu had drunk ant wine before, and had experienced mild skin itching and flushing, and because it slowly eased on its own, he thought that it was only ant wine that had a medicinal effect.
Because the patient developed chest pain and chest tightness symptoms, doctors speculated that in addition to anaphylactic shock, the patient was very likely to have myocardial infarction. The chest pain center team immediately activated the green channel for chest pain patients and transferred Mr. Wu to the Cardiovascular Department for further examination and treatment.
After the medical team treated Mr. Wu, the patient's symptoms did not improve significantly, and he still complained of chest tightness and chest pain, and the numbness in his left hand was more serious than before. Ongoing ECG monitoring and dynamic re-examination of the ECG also captured abnormalities: patients developed acute extensive anterior myocardial infarction.
With the consent of the family, the medical team gave the patient intravenous thrombolysis treatment. At this moment, the patient suddenly vomited violently, lost consciousness, and urinated and urinated incontinence. ECG monitoring showed that the patient developed a fatal arrhythmia, ventricular fibrillation.
Doctors perform continuous chest compressions on the patient and give an electric shock to defibrillation. After defibrillation, Mr. Wu's ventricular rate was slow, and the medical team continued to administer continuous chest cardiac compressions, and the patient's ventricular rate gradually rose to normal. After 10 minutes, ECG monitoring shows that the respiratory blood pressure is normal, and the patient slowly wakes up and regains consciousness.
At present, Mr. Wu is in stable condition and is recovering further.
Jin Shuqi, deputy director of the Department of Cardiology of the hospital, reminded that ant wine has the effect of meridian activation, dispelling wind and relieving pain, and strengthening muscles and bones. But there are many kinds of ants, there are different components of toxicity, poor control of the dose is easy to poison, it is best not to brew by yourself. In particular, black ants are a special protein that may cause allergic reactions after entering the human body, and severe ones can cause anaphylactic shock or laryngeal edema and suffocation. If you want to self-medicate wine, you must carry out it under the guidance of a doctor or professional pharmacist, pay attention to the collocation, usage, and dosage of the drug, and do not blindly believe in folk remedies.
At the same time, Jin Shuqi reminded that drinking alcohol is closely related to increased blood pressure, alcohol has an impact on blood vessel function, and will also damage the myocardium and affect blood lipid metabolism, and it is best not to drink alcohol in patients with hypertension.
