The cold snap has been taking hold in recent days, and the chilly weather has made many people unable to bear it. What they look forward to most is to take a comfortable hot bath when they get home after work. However, a doctor revealed that a man in his 30s had taken a hot bath at home. After taking a shower, he walked out of the bathroom and felt a sharp pain in his head, followed by weakness in his hands and feet. After being sent to the hospital for examination, it was found that the man had suffered a hemorrhagic stroke and has not yet escaped from danger.

According to a report by Zhongshi News Network, Chen Deyuan, an attending physician at the Department of Neurosurgery at E-Da Hospital, said that a man in his 30s who did not usually have the habit of measuring his blood pressure walked out of the bathroom in thin clothes after taking a hot bath at home during the recent cold snap. He had an unbearable headache, and later developed weakness in his right hand and right foot. When his family rushed to the side, they found that the man could not even speak clearly. After seeing this, they immediately sent him to the emergency room.

After examination, the hospital found that the man’s blood pressure had soared above 200 mm of mercury, and the burst blood vessel in his brain was a hemorrhagic stroke. He was eventually transferred to the intensive care unit for treatment and is still not out of danger.

For this reason, Chen Deyuan pointed out that low temperature or a large temperature difference environment will cause blood vessels to constrict. If blood pressure is not controlled well or does not drink enough water, the blood will become thicker, causing blood pressure to soar and increase the risk of stroke. He called on the public to try to avoid If you are in an environment with large temperature differences, you should also take measures to keep warm when going out.

If symptoms of stroke occur, you should go to the hospital immediately to seize the golden 3 hours for acute stroke rescue. Be sure to remember the mantra “FAST─Smile, raise your hands and say hello, get to the doctor quickly”.

F: Facial expression asymmetry (Face): Ask the patient to smile with his teeth exposed, and observe whether there is asymmetry in facial expression, or the corners of the mouth are crooked. If so, it may be a symptom of stroke.

A: Unilateral arm weakness and drooping (Arm): Ask the patient to hold both hands flat for about 10 seconds and observe whether there is weakness in the arm or unilateral arm drooping. If so, it may be a symptom of stroke.

S: Speech: Ask the patient to say a simple sentence or answer your question. If there is slurred speech or inability to express, it may be a symptom of stroke.

T: Write down the time and seek medical attention immediately (Time): After suspecting that the patient has stroke symptoms, determine the time of onset as soon as possible and send the patient to the hospital emergency room for treatment quickly.
