Health news
Hi, I would like to apologize for the lack of content update this week, my health has been a little down this month and I haven't had a chance to spend time working. I haven't made posts like this before, but it seems many authors do this sometimes, so I'll clarify my situation.
First, I had an unexplained increase in blood pressure over the weekend. The high value persisted for a couple of days and was not relieved by symptomatic medications, which I sometimes very rarely use. And when I continued to have headaches for the third day in a row, I still called an ambulance. They gave me an ECG and lowered my blood pressure with an intravenous infusion of Magnesium sulfate, I instantly felt better, and I was finally able to get some sleep. The next morning I underwent an additional examination and passed the necessary tests. The doctor prescribed me several medications to treat arterial hypertension, and for a couple of weeks I tried to remain calm and not stress myself.
But when I tried to return, I was only able to work for one week, and I had another problem. My right hand began to hurt very much, I could no longer hold the stylus, as there was numbness and severe weakness in my hand. Having gone back to the hospital, I was diagnosed with “carpal tunnel syndrome”, I think in English it is called “RSI syndrom” - it occurs due to prolonged monotonous work with the hands in one position (in my case due to the stylus)
There was no specialized doctor in my city, so the therapist simply prescribed me an anti-inflammatory drug. For about a week I could not do anything with my hand due to pain and limited movement, Diclofenac ointment helped for a short time, but after that the pain returned. And then I remembered that I have an ancient vibrating massager. After using it on my wrist, I gradually began to feel relief from the strong vibration. I continued to do this aggressive massage for about 3 days, and lo and behold, every day it became easier for me, until one day I woke up with a completely healthy arm, which was even somewhat unexpected.
And 2 days later I got sick again, but with rhinitis. I think I caught it at a hospital I visited earlier. For about 2 more weeks I was out of action again.
