Neck pain, some people like to do massage to relieve discomfort. But if the massage is improper, there may be a risk of stroke!
Taiwanese actor, singer and actor Ariel Lin shared an accident that her mother experienced in high school:
Ariel Lin:
wants to share a concept of avoiding harm with everyone. My mother is in good physical condition and can take care of herself, but in fact, an accident happened during my high school period, which made her originally strong body become fragile and fatigue easily overnight.
At that time, due to days of fatigue, she went to a traditional Chinese medicine clinic near her home (the traditional Chinese medicine clinic for traumatic injuries usually also provides some massage services) for massage. But after returning home, we were extremely dizzy in the middle of the night. My brother and I She was sent to the doctor urgently, and the results of the examination were as follows: the blood vessel wall in the back neck was peeled off, causing a cerebellar stroke.
After that, mother relied on regular visits and prescription drugs to keep her condition very stable (keep one of the two main blood vessels of the back neck roughly unblocked, and the other one has no effect), so she can still live normally. I never want to think too much about what the consequences would be if I was not alert that night and delayed the delivery time.
Up to now, in fact, my mother and I still enjoy the relaxation and pleasure brought by formal massage or massage, but the point is: "pressing, pressing, pushing, rubbing, wiping" with appropriate force is no problem. But it is really necessary to avoid that master's massage technique at that time, "force" pinching the muscles behind the neck and "pulling" upwards, causing damage to the blood vessels that cannot be restored.
shares our real experience with you, and hope that no more people will be hurt like this. A moderate massage or tuina is definitely helpful to relax the body and mind, and we also enjoy it, but we really need to know how to avoid harm!
Don't do it randomly!
On June 14, 2017, 25-year-old Liu collapsed at the entrance of the rented house due to limb weakness. The landlord found out that he was sent to the doctor. Experts diagnosed that Xiao Liu had a left internal carotid artery dissection, which caused an intimal tear and thrombosis and then migrated to embolism. The distal blood vessels eventually cause sudden large-scale cerebral infarction.
In June 2017, 29-year-old Sun had a massage for about half an hour. After returning home, Xiao Sun felt a splitting headache, and then felt his mouth numb, and his right limb was a little stiff. Soon half of his body was unable to move. Sent to the hospital, it was diagnosed that the arterial dissection caused by improper massage caused a stroke.
In October 2016, the 34-year-old Ms. Zhang in Qixia, Nanjing, left her left limbs unable to move after a neck massage. An MRI of the head showed occlusion of the right middle cerebral artery and was diagnosed with carotid artery dissection caused by neck massage. With a stroke, the doctors extracted a large number of blood clots in her internal carotid artery.
In fact, the carotid artery wall is divided into intima, media and adventitia. Under normal circumstances, the three layers are tightly connected and not separated. When subjected to external force or disease, the intima will separate, between the intima and the media Form a cavity.
Due to the slow blood flow in the false cavity, thrombus is formed quickly, the thrombus falls off and blocks the cerebral blood vessels, or causes the internal carotid artery to be occluded, leading to stroke!
health care should be limited! If head and face pain, neck pain, or toothache occurs after neck massage and other activities, please consult a doctor in time.
5 kind of people should be the most anti-stroke!
There are 10 major risk factors for stroke. The top 5 factors all have an incidence of more than 10%, and the latter 5 are also less than 5%. Each risk factor must be vigilant!
z23z People with high blood pressureaccount for more than 34.5% of all risk factors. Modern people work under a lot of pressure, blood pressure fluctuates easily, and do not pay attention to blood pressure monitoring, it is easy to have long-term hypertension without knowing it, and the disease is only discovered after a stroke.
Regardless of whether the elderly or young people, it is best to have a sphygmomanometer at home to get up in the morning to take a blood pressure measurement. If the blood pressure of young people is higher than 140/90mmHg, and the blood pressure of the elderly is higher than 150/90mmHg, please go to the hospital in time.
2 People who don’t like sports
accounted for more than 28.5% of all risk factors. Many people think that “not exercising” is not a disease. In fact, “not exercising is dangerous.” Most Westerners like to exercise and exercise every day, so their stroke is well controlled.
3 People with big belly
account for more than 26.5% of all risk factors. Studies have pointed out that with the same degree of obesity, the risk of stroke in men with abdominal obesity increases by 3 to 5 times, and the risk of stroke in women with abdominal obesity is also greatly increased.
4 people with dyslipidemia,
, account for more than 24.5% of all risk factors. Lu Zhengqi reminded that to prevent stroke, we must pay attention to the values of blood lipid indicators LPa and LPb and the ratio of the two.
5 smokers
accounted for more than 18.9% of all risk factors. It is understood that smoking can cause vascular endothelial dysfunction, increased thrombosis, increased inflammation and oxidation modification, and increased the incidence of coronary heart disease, hypertension, cerebrovascular disease and peripheral vascular disease. In addition to the above five factors, diabetes, alcoholism, excessive stress, insomnia, and depression are also risk factors for stroke .
