Xi A man suffered a blow to the head and died of a ruptured carotid artery. What reminders did the doctor make?

Carotid artery is two large blood vessels, and the pulse can be felt in the carotid artery just below the jaw angle on both sides of the neck. Carotid artery supplies oxygenated blood. If the carotid artery is blocked, it is easy to increase the risk of stroke. Doctors suggest avoiding excessive shaking of the head or hard kissing between lovers in life, which can easily lead to carotid artery rupture.

Carotid artery disease does not cause any symptoms. If the carotid artery has plaque formation, it is easy to accumulate in the carotid artery. The main causes of carotid plaque may be related to the following risk factors: age, smoking, hypertension, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia or hypercholesterolemia, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, diabetes, atherosclerosis or coronary artery disease and family history of carotid artery disease. The risk of illness in men will be relatively higher than that in women.

Symptoms of transient ischemic attack caused by carotid artery disease include: sudden difficulty in walking, poor coordination, loss of balance, sudden blindness, blurred vision, weakness or numbness of one side of the face, blurred consciousness and sudden dizziness, aphasia, blurred consciousness, memory problems, dysphagia and sudden severe headache.

We should have a healthy lifestyle at ordinary times and need regular physical examination every year, especially in the carotid artery area. Carotid artery examination generally adopts carotid ultrasonic magnetic resonance imaging, angiography, cerebral angiography and computed tomography angiography, which can correctly find out whether there is carotid stenosis or carotid plaque, and can find carotid diseases early, so as to achieve early detection, early treatment and early prevention. Avoid shaking your head or pressing hard at the beginning of your life. We should have a healthy lifestyle and habits at ordinary times, pay attention to rest, avoid overwork and unhealthy exercise, so as not to induce carotid artery rupture.
