Ryan Thought He Ate Something Bad, It Was Actually a Stroke
谁在乎男人的健康 听众瑞恩是盐湖城的一名教育工作者. 他四十多岁，身体很好. 他不是典型的中风患者, 无论如何, but he was surprised to find himself in the hospital undergoing surgery to save his life. The fascinating thing about Ryan’s experience, his stroke symptoms manifested in a very strange way.
A week or so prior to the event, Ryan had been experiencing an earache that just wouldn’t go away. He had gone to his primary care doctor to try and figure out what was causing the earache. No matter what they tried the pain in his ear wouldn’t go away. Ryan had just seen his doctor for a followup visit just two days before he had his stroke.
The symptoms became worse after his anniversary dinner with his wife. 莱恩离开餐厅时感到恶心和头晕. He rationalized that the symptoms were nothing more than indigestion or a bout of food poisoning.
第二天，瑞安的症状变得更糟了. 他醒来时觉得很不舒服. 他恶心得厉害，吃不下饭，喝不下水. He was extremely dizzy and couldn’t stay standing for long bouts of time.
But he was also starting to experience symptoms that are not common of a stomach bug. He started experiencing severe vertigo and double vision that wouldn’t seem to go away. When he tried to walk it was as if he “had a flat tire on his left side.“他会不断地向左倾斜. 他的身体极不平衡.
After a full day of extreme symptoms - and the urging of his wife - Ryan could no longer rationalize that his symptoms were nothing more than severe stomach flu or related to his earache. After a call to his primary care doctor, he went to the emergency room.
一旦进了急诊室, the physicians did an MRI and found not only a serious aneurysm on the lower back portion of Ryan’s brain but a pretty serious dissection as well.
瑞安手术后在医院住了14天. It was a relatively long road to recovery and he still struggles with occasional vertigo. But according to Ryan, the stroke could have been a lot worse. He came away without any particularly debilitating cognitive issues.
Getting to the hospital on time saved his life and his brain.
中风的迹象不仅仅是快速
中风时，时间是至关重要的. The sooner you can receive treatment, the more likely you are to minimize damage to the brain. 像这样, it’s important to know the signs of a stroke so you can respond quickly.
Scope Radio一直在讨论缩写F.A.S.T. 多年来. It’s a helpful way to remind people of the major signs of a stroke:
- F -面部下垂
- A -手臂无力
- S - Speech difficulties (including slurring, trouble finding words, confusion)
- 时间是获得大发娱乐的关键
但瑞安的症状不符合FAST的缩写. He was experiencing dizziness, nausea, and having vision issues. There are several different ways a stroke can form and impact a person. 并不是所有的中风都是由深静脉血栓引起的. 有些可能是由头部直接受伤引起的. According to Troy, he will often see these injury-related strokes in young people. 他们会经历鞭伤带来的创伤, 运动损伤, 滑雪或单板滑雪时摔倒, 等.
While we don’t often think of this type of stroke, they can be quite serious. 像这样, there are additional symptoms you should be on the lookout for beside face drooping, 手臂的弱点, 说话含糊不清. 这些包括?
- 腿的弱点
- 平衡问题
- 眩晕
- 复视
- 其他视力问题
- 麻烦走
- 严重的头痛
If you have a suspicion that you or someone you know may be suffering from a stroke, 不要等着看症状是否会消失. 马上去急诊室. 如果需要，打911叫救护车. 时间对中风治疗至关重要，所以不要拖延.
You Should Probably Read that Genetics Test Terms of Service
We’ve all been guilty of quickly scrolling through one of those long irritating user agreements you are forced to scroll through when you install a piece of software on your computer. But when it comes to the Terms of Service Agreement you sign when you take an at-home genetics test, 也许花点时间好好读一下是值得的.
Scot is still considering whether or not he wants to take a genetics test, so he and the Who Cares guys read through the Terms of Service from one of these testing companies. 他发现了一些奇怪的东西, 有关, and occasionally downright terrifying implications that are inside the fine print.
They include concerns about what you may learn about yourself, 你的身份, 你可能面临的健康问题, as well as the legal ramifications you should consider before taking a test.
男人们讨论他们对这个问题的想法和感受. And if you’re still interested in 输入ing to win the genetics test, be sure to 输入.
