GĐXH - Both stroke patients at the age of 45 were closely related to daily living habits and had a history of high blood pressure.
Two 45-year-old men had strokes in a row
In just one week, doctors at the No. 1 People's Hospital in Hangzhou, China, said they had received two patients with cerebral infarction . Notably, the causes of the strokes of these two patients were exactly the same and were closely related to their daily living habits.
The first patient was Mr. Lo (45 years old). Before being admitted to the emergency room, Mr. Lo had gathered to eat and drink with friends. After the party was about to end, Mr. Lo suddenly fell to the ground and was paralyzed on the right side of his body, slurred speech, so his friends took him to the emergency room.

At the hospital, the results showed that the left part of Mr. Lo's brain was blurred, and he was diagnosed with a stroke due to a blockage in the left carotid artery.
After more than an hour of surgery, doctors removed a long blood clot from the patient's artery. However, the patient still suffered from brain herniation (a condition in which the brain swells or bleeds due to a head injury, stroke, or brain tumor) and had to undergo surgery to reduce intracranial pressure. The patient is still in a coma.
That same week, Dr. Hoang Hoan continued to treat another 45-year-old male patient who suffered a stroke due to a blockage in the left carotid artery. Mr. Tham underwent emergency surgery, but after the surgery, he was paralyzed in one leg and could not recover.
Taking their medical histories, doctors discovered that they had some common lifestyles. Both patients had high blood pressure and had a habit of staying up late, smoking, and drinking alcohol for a long time.
Why are people with high blood pressure at increased risk of stroke?
According to medical experts, high blood pressure damages arteries throughout the body, including those leading to the brain. High blood pressure, especially sudden high blood pressure, can make arteries more susceptible to rupture or blockage. Weakened or blocked arteries in the brain increase the risk of stroke.
Blood pressure of 140/90 or higher is thought to damage the blood vessels that supply blood to the brain and lead to a stroke. The higher the blood pressure, the greater the risk of stroke.
