Teenage Boy in China Suffers Stroke After Hours on Phone with Bent Neck


A teenage boy in China suffered a stroke after spending long periods on his mobile phone with his neck bent forward. Doctors explained that the prolonged poor posture restricted blood flow to his brain, leading to the medical emergency. The boy experienced sudden dizziness, weakness, and difficulty speaking, which are classic warning signs of stroke. , Health, Times Now

Doctors say Xiao Dong, a university student from Fujian Province, was addicted to playing games on his mobile phone and used to forward-tilt for a long time, which led to obstructed blood flow in the arteries of the neck. This obstruction caused the formation of a blood clot in the upper spinal arteries, ultimately leading to a life-threatening stroke.
