According to foreign media such as Hong Kong 01 News, a woman living in Guangdong Province recently received shoulder and neck massages at a massage shop due to a stiff neck.
The next day she felt numb in her left hand and lost strength. I couldn't even lift a cup of water.
Her friends rushed her to the hospital, where tests showed she was diagnosed with a stroke called `acute cerebral infarction.'
Cerebral infarction is a disease in which brain cells are destroyed when blood containing nutrients and oxygen is not supplied to the brain due to clogged blood vessels, and is also called 'ischemic stroke'.
Suddenly, various symptoms such as paralysis of limbs, pronunciation abnormalities, and dizziness are displayed, and if not treated quickly, it can lead to long-term disability or death.
The medical staff warned "If you had been a little late to the hospital, you would have developed paralysis disorder on one side" The carotid artery is close to the skin and can be damaged by strong pressure, so do not apply excessive force to the neck".
In addition, he added that continuous stimulation and damage can cause arterial dissection when doing fast or intense neck rotation, weight lifting, and yoga.
Her doctor advised "If you have neck pain, dizziness, headache, pulsating tinnitus, or crooked corners of your mouth, unable to speak, unilateral hemiplegia and other symptoms after neck massage, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible without delay."
