In China, a 26-year-old programmer, who received an energetic neck massage to relieve pain, barely escaped constant paralysis after a stroke.

This is reported by Oddity Central.

Young IT specialist from the city of Changha, the province of Hunan, often suffered from her neck pain due to the fact that he spent many hours at the desktop. Upon learning that traditional massage can help alleviate the pain in the neck, he decided to try it in a local massage salon.

Everything was fine until, during the more energetic maneuver of the masseur, he did not feel a sharp pain in his neck, which was soon accompanied by a severe headache. He did not attach particular importance to these symptoms, but the very next morning he woke up with numbness and weakness of the left half of his body, as well as inadinated speech. Frightened, the 26-year-old guy hurried to the hospital, where he was diagnosed with “secondary brain heart attack”.

Magnetic resonance tomography of the head and cerebral angiography showed that the man suffered the stratification of the right carbon artery and the secondary heart defense of the brain. Fortunately for a young patient, he arrived at the hospital quickly enough to prevent irreversible damage. Using complex treatment methods, such as anticoagulation therapy, improvement of collateral blood circulation and cleansing from free oxygen radicals, doctors managed to soften damage, and now the patient on the way to complete recovery.

“The sleepy artery is an important blood vessel that supplies blood to the brain.

When the intimacy of the vessel wall is torn, the blood penetrates the vessel wall, forming a “stratification” that can cause stenosis or even vessels occlusion, which leads to insufficient blood supply to the brain and as a result develops into a brain infarction, ”Dr. Liu Yan explained from the department of the hospital.. “In addition, the blood vessels in the neck are superficial and incorrect external power compression (for example, energetic massage, a sharp turn of the head,“ twisting the neck ”, etc.. ) can directly damage the blood vessels "

Recall that five nurses working on the same floor of the maternity hospital diagnosed brain tumors.
