Neurologist Chen: washing hair at a salon can cause a stroke.
Neurologist Baibin Chen named unexpected causes of stroke that may seem harmless at first glance. The Daily Mirror drew attention to the doctor's words here.
According to the specialist, one of the non-obvious causes of stroke could be a neck massager. The doctor explained that strong pressure on the carotid and vertebral arteries can damage their walls, which sometimes leads to the formation of a thrombus and disruption of blood supply to the brain.
The neurologist also warned that prolonged tilting of the head backward, for example, while washing hair at a beauty salon, can cause a stroke. He stated that such a position can compress the vertebral arteries and worsen blood flow to the brain.
Another risk factor the doctor mentioned is popping pimples on the face. He clarified that it is dangerous to affect the so-called triangle of death. According to him, infections in this area can spread deeper and, in rare cases, lead to thrombosis and stroke.
Previously, doctor Daniel Lopez Rosetti warned that poor oral hygiene could lead to a stroke or heart attack. He explained that dangerous bacteria residing in the mouth can enter vital organs through the bloodstream.
