Acute myocardial infarction - the caprice of escaping death (1)
Acute myocardial infarction - the caprice of escaping death (1)
There is an idiom called a proverb, and I have experienced the meaning of this idiom and fully practiced what this idiom represents......
I decided to take a day off that day because I felt like a fish thrown on the shore when I came home from a trip. As a result, at night, I really became a fish thrown on the shore......
At about 10 o'clock that night, I was sitting in front of the computer holding half a watermelon, experiencing the happiness of the Japanese people, digging watermelons with a spoon and eating them. Then I suddenly felt as if a string had been broken in my chest, my chest was tight, like a heavy weight, I couldn't breathe well, the air was like there was no oxygen, no matter how much I breathed, it was like a fish out of water, and no matter how big my mouth was, it was just lingering......
Could it be that the watermelon is too icy and I have a bad stomach again? This was my first thought at the time, a few years ago there was a severe pain in my chest, that time it was late at night, I thought I was going to finish, I only felt that every bone in the five internal organs was painful, and I finally stayed up until dawn and went to the hospital for a check-up, stomach ulcer, and took a few packs of stomach medicine.
So I calmly went to take the Xiangsha Stomach Nourishing Pill and took twelve pills, and after that stomach ulcer, this medicine became my family standing medicine. However, after taking Xiangsha stomach pills for about ten minutes, I felt wrong, the general experience is that after taking this medicine for about ten minutes, it can be effective, but I still feel the same uncomfortable, chest tightness, breathlessness, hands began to be weak, and sweating on my forehead did not stop......
Maybe it wasn't stomach problems, but when I saw that there were quick-acting heart pills in the medicine box, I took six pills and pressed them under my tongue and went to lie down on the sofa for a while. But after about ten minutes, the body still felt very bad, the sweat on the forehead had turned into a sweat all over the body, and the weakness of the hands began to spread to the weakness of the limbs, which was still obvious.
My wife entered the study and was shocked when she saw me: "Why is your face so pale......"
I felt more and more labored to speak: "Chest...... Stuffy...... I can't breathe, I'm going to the hospital......"
My wife chattered on the spot: "Tell you to stay in the room and smoke with the air conditioner on, your study is like a gas room, you smell it yourself, such a big smell of smoke, now you can't breathe, why don't you open the window to ventilate it quickly......"
I didn't have the strength to take care of her, and struggled to get up from the couch and get dressed and pants......
My wife realized that something was really wrong with me, and she hurriedly went to change her coat and prepared to accompany me to the hospital.
Our home is on the seventh floor, an old-fashioned apartment with no elevator. When I went down two flights of stairs, I felt weak on my feet, so I said to my wife, "Why don't you call me an ambulance, I'm afraid I won't have the strength to walk......"
The wife replied decisively: "Insist, go downstairs and take a taxi faster, I called an ambulance and I don't know which hospital it will come from, we are going to the second hospital." ”
Whether the wife is treating the child or herself or her family, she only goes to the second doctor. She doesn't believe in other hospitals, and the second doctor is indeed very famous in Wenzhou, just like my wife said, the emergency department of the second doctor is the best in Wenzhou, and her decision really saved my life.
When I got into the taxi, I was still conscious, but when I got off at the hospital, I was already confused, and the last impression was that my little wife helped me, a big fat man of more than 200 pounds, to the emergency desk......
I passed out in a coma......
When I woke up again, I always felt that something was wrong, phew, what was in my mouth, when did I throw up, and my nose was stuffed......
Someone is shouting, take scissors and cut off the clothes...... Someone shouted again, turned to the side, and told him to spit out what was in his mouth...... Someone else said, don't cry, he's alive......
I fiddled with them in a daze, and finally was loaded into an ambulance with the exclamation that this guy was too fat and heavy, and my wife said to me with tears in her eyes, I was going to the cardiovascular hospital in Nanpu now, and I had to go for guided surgery immediately.
I didn't know what guided surgery was at the time, and the fragments of my memory stayed on the blue-white ceiling above the operating room, and I didn't see any of the legendary spotlights, only a few fluorescent tubes in the distance were shining white. If it weren't for the tall computer equipment around my head and body, I might have thought it was some kind of warehouse and not some operating room.
Not only did my chest feel tight, but I started to feel a slight ache, and I had to make a loud noise every time I breathed to get the oxygen I needed. The doctor who was doing the surgery asked me in confusion, is it really that painful, so much so that I have been screaming until now......
I ignored him and continued to breathe like a scream, and this guy had already said more than once when he operated on me that I was too fat and fat, like a mountain of meat. If it weren't for the fact that he was operating on me, I wouldn't mind letting him try the consequences of discriminating against obese people, just with his weak chicken-like body, he would understand why the flowers were so red with a slight bump...... But I can't get up yet...... Maybe as a fat man with a big heart, I can forgive him once......
Cardiac guided surgery, in fact, should be considered minimally invasive. It is to make an opening in the artery, and then let a special steel wire enter the artery to reach the heart to complete the surgical tasks such as bypass, guidance, stent, connection, and communication.
This time I had an acute myocardial infarction, and the doctor said that there was a blockage of blood vessels in the heart and blood clotting, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the heart and ventricular fibrillation, which probably means that the engine of the car has malfunctioned and caused the crash. However, I was lucky enough to be rescued by electric shocks a few times, which is why I woke up and found that my mouth was full of vomit, because it is common sense to prevent vomit from clogging the trachea due to incontinence under electric shocks.
The doctor said that I had to open up the blocked blood vessel first, and then put in a stent to support the blood vessel to prevent the blood vessel from clogging and coagulation in the future. However, because I am fat and have high blood lipids, it has added a lot of trouble to his surgery...... He thinks that I was lucky to save my life this time, and the next most important thing is to think about how to lose weight......
With the removal of the steel wire from the body and the bandaging of the artery wound in the wrist, the operation was completed. But the doctors found an embarrassing fact, they found that the cart that was going to transport me to the ward was about ten centimeters higher than the operating table, and several of them couldn't gently move me to the cart......
The nurse of the last cart said that the bed in the ward was about ten centimeters lower than the cart, which was convenient for patients to move from the cart to the bed, so the bed should be flush with the operating table......
I was transported in a hospital bed, pushed straight into the ward, and then a lot of figures were shaking in front of my eyes, and I was wired up to various instruments, and there was a computer screen that started to show my blood pressure, heart rate, breathing, blood oxygen level, etc. I also had a thin tube inserted into my nose, and cold air came out of it, and the next day I realized that it was an oxygen tube......
My brother and my wife appeared in front of me, and my brother said that my wife had cried twice, once at the second doctor, when I was in emergency respiratory arrest. The second time was outside the operating room, I was screaming inside, she was crying outside, and my brother found that handing out the tissue was useless, so he simply bought her a new towel......
My wife said she was frightened and couldn't imagine how I would live without her two children...... I was relieved to touch her hair with my left hand, which was hanging salt water, and she finally grew up and became sensible......
