Blackout Catcher: From Fun to Oblivion

Blackout Catcher: From Fun to Oblivion

A blackout is an alcoholic amnesia, in which part of your day seems to be erased from your memory. Sometimes such “forgetfulness” can become a funny fact of life.

But more often there are more tragic consequences.

“Accident” in the brain

The word “blackout” came to us from the energy sphere — this is what they call a power outage due to a disaster or natural cataclysm.

Approximately the same principle applies to the “switching off” of our memory as a result of alcohol intoxication.

Blackout is not funny

Even a single case of alcoholic amnesia can be accompanied by a number of unpleasant symptoms the next day, such as:

· disorientation in space and time;
· a feeling of complete helplessness;
· increased anxiety and aggression;
· bad mood;
· weakness in the body;
· fear due to the inability to restore the picture of the evening;
· feelings of shame and guilt.

Remember everything!

Any disturbances in the brain cannot be ignored.

Including blackout. Even after a single case of memory loss, it is advisable to consult a doctor.

Течение фибрилляции и трепетания предсердий может сопровождаться развитием таких грозных осложнений как:

-Инсульт
-Сердечная недостаточность
-Деменция
-Хроническая усталость и ухудшение качества жизни

Фибрилляция и трепетание предсердий являются наиболее распространенными аритмиями в клинической практике.

Они оказывают существенное влияние на качество жизни пациентов и характеризуются высоким риском таких осложнений как ишемический инсульт и сердечная недостаточность.
