During the long holiday, big stalls and seafood cities also became hot. Many people are willing to invite friends to dinner, and super son is no exception. After drinking and eating, he felt that he had drunk too much, so he picked his throat to induce vomiting. Unexpectedly, just after vomiting a few mouthfuls, Superman suddenly felt severe pain in his chest and couldn’t breathe. His family immediately sent him to the hospital. After examination, it was found that he threw up forcefully, causing esophageal rupture.
Esophageal rupture sounds exaggerated, but it is not uncommon in cardiothoracic surgery. One end of the esophagus is in the thoracic cavity and the other end is in the abdominal cavity. When a person vomits, the pressure in the abdominal cavity suddenly increases, and the pressure in the gastric cavity also increases, which is far higher than the pressure in the thoracic cavity. A pressure difference is formed between the thoracic cavity and the abdominal cavity, resulting in esophageal rupture. In summer, when hot and spicy food and seafood beer are popular, people tend to eat more and drink more. Vomiting, nausea or artificial vomiting for the purpose of sobering up and losing weight occur from time to time because of gastrointestinal discomfort. The probability of inflammation, injury and even rupture of the esophagus will also increase.
The digestive tract is not so “forbidden”. If you feel uncomfortable after eating and drinking, you’d better go to the hospital for gastric lavage, spasticity relief, anti-inflammatory treatment, rather than blindly inducing vomiting. In case of obvious chest pain before and after eating, stop eating immediately and go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time. In life, we should take prevention first, eat light and reasonable food, pay attention to food hygiene, and do not eat too cold and spicy.
