A millionaire internet celebrity died after being in a coma for 8 days! Beware of the life alarm bell of cerebral hemorrhage →

In today's era of rapid information dissemination, Internet celebrities attract the public's attention in various ways. However, when we heard the news that "a million-fan Internet celebrity died of a cerebral hemorrhage and was in a coma for 8 days", we couldn't help but feel grief and shock. This incident is not only an individual tragedy, but also a wake-up call about cerebral hemorrhage for all of us.

Cerebral hemorrhage, also known as cerebral hemorrhage, is a serious cerebrovascular disease. It is usually caused by rupture of cerebral blood vessels, which causes blood to flow into the brain tissue. Cerebral hemorrhage often occurs suddenly, catching people off guard.

1. Causes of cerebral hemorrhage

1. Hypertension

Hypertension is the main risk factor for cerebral hemorrhage. According to statistics, about 70% to 80% of cerebral hemorrhage patients suffer from hypertension. Long-term hypertension can weaken the walls of cerebral blood vessels and easily rupture and bleed. When blood pressure rises suddenly, such as when you are emotionally excited, doing strenuous exercise, or overworked, it may cause cerebral hemorrhage.

(II) Cerebrovascular malformations

Congenital cerebral vascular malformation is also an important cause of cerebral hemorrhage. About 2% to 4% of cerebral hemorrhage is caused by cerebral vascular malformation. The walls of such malformed blood vessels are usually weak and prone to rupture and bleeding.

3. Aneurysm

A cerebral aneurysm is an abnormal bulge in the wall of a cerebral artery. About 5% to 10% of cerebral hemorrhages are caused by a ruptured aneurysm. When an aneurysm ruptures, it causes a large amount of blood to rush into the brain tissue, causing a cerebral hemorrhage.

(IV) Other factors

Smoking, alcoholism, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, etc. can also increase the risk of cerebral hemorrhage. Studies have shown that smokers have a 2 to 3 times higher risk of cerebral hemorrhage than non-smokers. Long-term alcoholics also have a significantly increased risk of cerebral hemorrhage. In addition, factors such as aging and family heredity are also related to the occurrence of cerebral hemorrhage.

2. Symptoms of cerebral hemorrhage

Symptoms of a cerebral hemorrhage vary and depend on the location and amount of bleeding. In general, common symptoms include:

1. Headache and dizziness

A sudden and severe headache is one of the common symptoms of cerebral hemorrhage. This headache is usually unbearable and may be accompanied by symptoms such as nausea and vomiting. About 80% of patients with cerebral hemorrhage will experience headache symptoms. At the same time, patients may also feel dizzy, feel that the objects around them are spinning, or feel unstable when standing.

2. Vomiting

Because of the increased pressure inside the skull, the patient may vomit. The vomitus is usually stomach contents, but may also contain coffee-like substances. About 60% of patients with a stroke experience vomiting.

3. Disorders of consciousness

The patient may experience symptoms such as confusion and coma. The degree of impaired consciousness is related to the amount of bleeding and the location of bleeding. About 50% of patients with cerebral hemorrhage will experience symptoms of impaired consciousness. From drowsiness and lethargy to coma, severe cases may even be in a coma for a long time.

4. Limb paralysis

A cerebral hemorrhage may cause limb paralysis, which is manifested as weakness, numbness, or inability to move one side of the limbs. About 40% of patients with cerebral hemorrhage will experience limb paralysis. The patient may be unable to raise his arm, have difficulty walking, or even completely lose control of his limbs.

5. Speech disorders

Patients may experience slurred speech and aphasia. About 30% of patients with cerebral hemorrhage will experience speech disorders. They may speak unclearly, making it difficult for others to understand, or they may be unable to speak at all.

6. Eye symptoms

Some patients may experience eye symptoms such as unequal pupil size and eye movement disorders. About 20% of patients with cerebral hemorrhage will experience eye symptoms. For example, one pupil may be enlarged, the light reflex may disappear, or the eyeball may not be able to move in a certain direction.

7. Other symptoms

Some patients may also experience symptoms such as irritability, convulsions, and incontinence.

If the above symptoms occur, you should seek medical attention immediately to avoid delaying the condition.

3. Diagnosis of cerebral hemorrhage

1. Clinical manifestations

Doctors make a preliminary diagnosis based on the person's symptoms, signs, and medical history.

2. Imaging examination

Head CT is the preferred method for diagnosing cerebral hemorrhage. It can quickly and accurately show the bleeding site, amount of bleeding and the condition of the surrounding brain tissue. According to statistics, the diagnostic accuracy of head CT for cerebral hemorrhage can reach more than 95%. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can also be used to diagnose cerebral hemorrhage, but the examination time is longer and it is generally not the first choice.

3. Lumbar puncture

For patients with milder illness and unclear head CT results, doctors may perform a lumbar puncture to rule out other diseases.

4. Treatment of cerebral hemorrhage

1. General treatment

Patients should stay quiet, rest in bed, avoid emotional excitement and exertion. At the same time, they should keep their airways open, inhale oxygen, and control blood pressure and blood sugar.

2. Drug treatment

Depending on the patient's specific condition, the doctor may use dehydrating agents, hemostatic drugs, neurotrophic drugs and other drugs for treatment.

3. Surgical treatment

For patients with large amounts of bleeding and severe conditions, surgical treatment may be required. The purpose of surgery is to remove the hematoma, reduce intracranial pressure, and save the patient's life. According to statistics, surgical treatment can reduce the mortality rate of patients with cerebral hemorrhage by about 30% to 40%.

5. Prevention of cerebral hemorrhage

1. Control blood pressure

Hypertensive patients should measure their blood pressure regularly and take antihypertensive drugs as prescribed by doctors to keep their blood pressure within a reasonable range. According to statistics, keeping blood pressure within a normal range can reduce the risk of cerebral hemorrhage by about 40% to 50%. In daily life, we should pay attention to a low-salt diet, reduce sodium intake, and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits.

2. Maintain a healthy lifestyle

Quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption: Smoking can damage vascular endothelial cells and increase the risk of cerebral hemorrhage. Excessive drinking can cause blood pressure fluctuations and easily lead to cerebral hemorrhage. Studies have shown that quitting smoking and limiting alcohol consumption can reduce the risk of cerebral hemorrhage by about 30% to 40%.

Reasonable diet: control the intake of fat and cholesterol, avoid high-sugar, high-salt, and high-fat foods. Increase the intake of dietary fiber, eat more whole grains, vegetables, and fruits. Eat a moderate amount of foods rich in high-quality protein, such as fish, shrimp, beans, etc.

Moderate exercise: Insisting on moderate physical exercise, such as walking, jogging, swimming, etc., can enhance physical fitness, improve cardiopulmonary function, and promote blood circulation. However, be careful to avoid excessive fatigue and strenuous exercise.

Keep a good mood: Avoid being in a state of tension, anxiety, anger and other negative emotions for a long time, learn to regulate your emotions and keep a calm mind. Negative emotions can lead to high blood pressure and increase the risk of cerebral hemorrhage.

3. Regular physical examination

Regular physical examinations can help timely detect and treat diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia. According to statistics, regular physical examinations can reduce the risk of cerebral hemorrhage by about 20% to 30%. Especially for the middle-aged and elderly people and those with a family history of the disease, the frequency and items of physical examinations should be strengthened.

4. Avoid risk factors

Avoid risk factors such as overwork, emotional excitement, and strenuous exercise to prevent a sudden increase in blood pressure. Keep warm in cold weather to avoid blood vessel constriction that causes blood pressure fluctuations. At the same time, avoid straining to defecate, bending over and lowering your head too hard, etc., to avoid increasing intracranial pressure.

We are deeply saddened by the death of the internet celebrity with millions of fans, and at the same time, we are more deeply aware of the seriousness of cerebral hemorrhage. In this fast-paced society, each of us should pay attention to our own health and improve our awareness of cerebral hemorrhage and its prevention. Only in this way can we better protect the lives and health of ourselves and our families. Let us start from now on to develop a healthy lifestyle and actively prevent the occurrence of cerebral hemorrhage. Let us cherish life, stay away from diseases, and create a better future together.
