Young man in Ho Chi Minh City had a stroke while playing soccer

(Dan Tri) - While playing soccer with his friends, a young man in Ho Chi Minh City suddenly lost his balance and collapsed on the field. When he was taken to the hospital, doctors discovered that the patient had suffered a stroke.

That is the case of a young man named L.D.B. (30 years old, living in Ho Chi Minh City). According to initial information, in the evening, while playing soccer with his friends for about 45 minutes, Mr. B. suddenly felt dizzy, lost his balance and collapsed on the field, much to the astonishment of his teammates.

The young man was taken to a nearby hospital within 20 minutes of the onset of symptoms. At the Emergency Department, after examination, doctors noted that the patient had dizziness, hemiplegia (loss of coordination), and blood pressure was recorded at 200/100mmHg.

MRI results confirmed that the patient had a right cerebellar infarction, a stroke diagnosis. The patient's blood pressure was controlled, and thrombolytic drugs were injected intravenously to reopen the blocked blood vessels, helping to provide timely blood and oxygen to brain cells at risk of serious damage.

After the injection, the patient's dizziness and ataxia were quickly reduced, he gradually walked and moved normally, no large vessel stenosis was recorded and he was transferred to the Department of Neurology for further treatment and monitoring.

After 7 days of intensive care, the patient was discharged from the hospital, with the request to strictly follow the doctor's prescription and long-term control of hypertension.

In particular, patients need to completely quit drinking alcohol and limit strenuous sports , as they can affect blood vessels.

Dr. Le Minh Man, Department of Neurology, shared that although exercising is good for health, stroke can still occur during or immediately after exercise, if the exercise is too strenuous and at high intensity.

Many cases of stroke during sports occur in people who already have risk factors or underlying cardiovascular and vascular diseases, such as high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, cerebral vascular malformations...

Additionally, in contact sports or high-impact sports, trauma can lead to carotid artery dissection, a common cause of stroke in young people and athletes.

Doctors recommend that when detecting signs of stroke in people around them (such as crooked mouth, paralyzed arms, difficulty speaking, loss of balance, loss of vision...), they should be taken immediately to the nearest medical facility with a stroke treatment specialist for timely treatment.

Absolutely do not treat with folk methods, because it will waste the "golden time", causing the patient to fall into a coma, even endangering life.
