At the age of 22, Tieu Ly (Wuhan, China) is 183cm tall and weighs 102kg.He claimed to be a typical "Otaku" because he had a strong passion for comics and role -playing games on computers.But he did not expect this to be one of the factors leading to pulmonary embolism that made him almost lost his life.

According to Tieu Ly's mother, this summer he just graduated from university.The family was also well -off, so he did not want him to work hard immediately, returning to the countryside to rest for a few months.He did not smoke, did not drink alcohol, rarely went out.Most of the time is in a private room to read stories, play games and play with the phone.

On the morning of August 10, preparing food in the kitchen when Tieu Ly's mother heard a loud noise and ran to her son's room to check.At this time, he lay on the ground, near the computer table, the situation was fainting.She panicked to call an ambulance to take her son to Puren Wuhan Hospital (Wuhan, China).

Here, Dr. Li Liangxue made a diagnosis of small lungs with both lungs, the critical situation needed emergency surgery immediately.Fortunately, his age was young, went to the hospital in time so his life was preserved.After starting to talk again, Tieu Ly was very shocked to know the cause of her disease: sitting/lying for too long in a position.

“The patient's condition is inseparable from living habits.Although not smoking or drinking alcohol, the patient can be obese level 1. Especially the patient is young but very lazy to exercise, like to lie or sit for a long time for hours in a row every day.

In fact, there are many people like patients, especially young people.They may be because of work, entertainment (watching movies, playing games ...) but in a position for too long.This has been harmful to blood vessels for a long time, increasing the risk of many diseases, including cardiovascular disease - forming blood clots, heart/pulmonary embolism or brain blood vessels.

Besides, congenital patients have small left pelvic veins.This resonates with poor lifestyle, keeping the body in a posture for too long, causing the thrombosis to form faster, the blood circulation rate is slower.The cause of pulmonary embolism in the patient is that these thrombosis breaks, accidentally enters the lungs by blood circulation ”- Dr. Li explained.

Currently, after 11 days of hospitalization, Tieu Ly's health is gradually recovering.Expected to be discharged at the end of the month.He said that he had had some abnormal signs before, such as the lower limb numbness, feeling tired, sometimes chest pain but subjective did not go to the doctor.He felt regret and wanted to change his lifestyle, and shared his story to wake up others.
