Gym enthusiasts who were proud to push their limits for the perfect elevator should take a moment to listen to the predigence note of a gym instructor who suffered after having torn his neck artery during the squats.
The 33 -year -old fitness coach, Bridgette Salatin, of Ohio, is still faced with memory problems two years after the catastrophic stroke. Now falling back into her gym routine with lighter weights, she warns others: “Don’t grow too hard.”
Salatin remembers when it happened; She was halfway through a 70 kg dumbbell when she suddenly felt dizzy, followed by a “really bad”. She had not eaten or sufficiently slept the day before and had pushed her limits, holding her breath before lifting the weight.
“When I woke up that day, I had a pain in my neck but I probably thought I had slept on it. said.
Acute pain drew from his shoulders to his right temple before collapsing on the ground. Later, she learned that the intense tension had torn an artery in her neck, triggering three mini-cuts.
Doctors have also diagnosed Salatine with an occipital neuralgia, a painful neurological condition caused by an injury or inflammation of the occipital nerves, which cross the scalp. The state can result from pinched nerves, muscle tightening in the neck or from a head or neck injury.
“They did a few scans on me and they said” you had a stroke “but how does the devil happen at the age of 31? I felt an instant sorrow. I thought” that I failed myself “and” am I going to do again?
Although months of bed rest and anticoagulants helped her recover, Salatin said that his life had never been the same, even two years later.
“My short-term memory has disappeared and doing daily things is difficult for me. I was teaching a yoga lesson that was strictly on learning the heads but I can’t do that anymore,” she said.
She now urges the others to start with lighter weights and find a balance between the thrust of limits and the avoidance of injuries.
