Recently, a 43-year-old male patient had to be treated at the Department of Brain Surgery, Hoai An Hospital of Traditional Medicine (China) for a ruptured cerebral blood vessel due to excessive force while going to the toilet.
According to Jiangsu News, this man has had high blood pressure for many years and has not been systematically treated. He also loves to eat fried meat and fish and has a 7-year history of constipation. This man thinks that constipation is a normal symptom, just eating more vegetables will improve.
However, a few days ago, while going to the toilet, he had an “accident”. That day, his family saw him go to the toilet for a long time but did not come out, expecting something bad, so they checked and found him lying in it, his body could not be controlled. His family immediately called an ambulance to take him to the hospital.
When taken to the emergency room of Hoai An Traditional Medicine Hospital, the doctor discovered that the patient’s pupils had dilated, diagnosing a cerebrovascular accident. Then, the medical staff conducted a CT scan of the head, found that there was a bleeding of about 100ml, the formation of a brain herniation, which is very dangerous, so urgent brain surgery is required to remove the internal hematoma, reduce the pressure on the brain. intracranial force. After the operation, the man was taken to the Emergency Department. The current condition is considered stable, but the patient is not completely out of the danger period.
The doctor explained, cerebral hemorrhage is one of the serious complications of hypertension, with a high rate of death and disability. Because blood pressure is not controlled for a long time, cerebral blood vessels will continue to dilate. and become hard, brittle. If blood pressure rises suddenly, the pressure on the walls of the blood vessels is especially high. When we go to the toilet, the abdominal pressure will increase, and at the same time, the blood pressure will also increase, the patient’s condition is more obvious constipation, easy to cause brain hemorrhage.
Habits that make people with high blood pressure more likely to die suddenly
Getting out of bed suddenly: Normally, the body’s blood pressure drops to its lowest at about 3 am, then increases gradually and increases rapidly when waking up. Therefore, getting out of bed too quickly, too quickly in the morning is extremely dangerous, due to increased blood pressure, increased heart rate and sudden increase in blood pressure.
Especially for patients with a history of arteriosclerosis. The reason is that the sudden change in position makes the blood supply to the brain not timely, easily causing fainting, even a stroke.
Exercising too soon: Many people with high blood pressure still maintain the habit of exercising early in the morning, around 5am-5:30am. However, medical experts said that this is the time when there is a big difference in the outside temperature compared to the temperature in the bedroom, especially in the cold season.
The body is suddenly infected with cold, there will be reactions: blood vessels are constricted, blood circulation is poor … making the already high morning blood pressure rise even faster, thereby increasing the risk of stroke.
Take medicine only when you see high blood pressure: A lot of people still ignore the disease High Blood Pressure. They only take medicine when their blood pressure is high without the habit of taking medicine and measuring their blood pressure daily. To control blood pressure, it is best to measure twice a day at certain times for best blood pressure management. In addition, this is a chronic disease, so it needs regular monitoring, proper and complete treatment every day, for a long time.
Eating “relaxing”: Many people have high blood pressure but still like to eat fast foods, foods with too much oil, sugar, and salt. These foods are contributing to cerebrovascular accident. When having external hypertension, treated with drugs, the patient needs to take active measures to change lifestyle. It is a reasonable diet, ensuring enough potassium and trace elements: Reduce salt (less than 6g salt or 1 teaspoon of salt per day), increase green vegetables, fresh fruits, limit foods with a lot of salt. cholesterol and saturated fatty acids.
Drink a lot of alcohol: Studies have shown that, when drinking alcohol too much and regularly, people with a history of high blood pressure are prone to face the risk of brain hemorrhage.
