After drinking three bottles of cold beer, take a hot shower
A man's stomach explodes and loses 80% of his blood
People's Daily once reported that 55 year old Wuhan native Lao Zhao drank three bottles of cold beer and went to take a hot shower after finishing his meal. When he flushed the shower head towards his waist and abdomen, he suddenly felt pain all over his body. His family noticed and quickly took him to a nearby hospital.
It turned out that after being stimulated by cold and heat, the splenic aneurysm "exploded", with a bleeding volume of 4000 milliliters in just a few hours, equivalent to draining 80% of the human body's blood, causing a sudden stop in breathing and heartbeat. After an overnight emergency surgery, he was finally pulled back from the brink of death.
It is reported that the intracranial arteries in the human body are very sensitive to pain. During the hot season, the head is prone to sweating after exercise and labor. At this time, blood vessels dilate. If suddenly exposed to cold, such as eating ice cream or rinsing with cold water, it may cause abnormal intracranial vascular function.
Experts remind that the quality of blood vessels of people suffering from atherosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, smoking and drinking has become poor. It is suggested that such people regularly go to the hospital for vascular inspection to see if there is an aneurysm. Once found, it should be solved as soon as possible. Local hemangioma, causing the blood vessel wall to become thinner and thinner. Once subjected to cold and hot stimulation, vascular dilation accelerates the rupture of the aneurysm.

02 Nausea and vomiting
Cold stimulation leads to cerebral vasospasm, affecting blood supply to the brain, resulting in corresponding symptoms such as nausea and vomiting.
