It sounds unbelievable, but an An surname An (Hainan, China) was hospitalized after being kissed by his girlfriend.An and his girlfriend are from 20 years old.According to Ms. Tu's story, she sat on her boyfriend's thigh so that he could dry her hair.Meanwhile, her boyfriend occasionally kissed a few points on her face.Under the romantic atmosphere, she kissed her boyfriend's neck for a long time and left many red marks (often called hickey).

What she did not expect after about 20 minutes like that, her boyfriend showed trouble breathing, cramping and fainting fell to the ground.Everyday, Mr. An was joking, so she only thought it was a naughty game.When she kept waking up her boyfriend for a few minutes but there was no reaction to her in panic.

When he arrived at the hospital, Mr. An regained consciousness but still had to use a breathing machine for many hours due to respiratory failure.He was diagnosed with the sinusic sinus syndrome due to the impact of vasoconstrictor and thrombosis in the neck artery area on the neck.This leads to sudden reduction in blood pressure, heart failure and fainting.Knowing the reason why her boyfriend was in danger just because the kiss was not in the right place, she was both regretful and extremely embarrassing.

Deep or bite (hickey) on the neck can be life -threatening

Doctor Ngo Bang belongs to the emergency department of Hai Khau People's Hospital (Hainan, China), saying deep or strong kisses, even "bite bite" often called hickey.It usually appears in areas such as neck, thighs or chest and pink red to dark purple, looks like bruises.

Usually, these are considered cuddly gestures, showing the affection of couples.But in some cases, it may adversely affect health, even endanger life.Especially the hickey traces are too deep, creating open wounds, kissing/sucking/biting in places that are too sensitive, easily dangerous on the body.

In the case of Mr. An, his girlfriend has continuously impacted strong force for quite a long time, creating deep blood bruises in the left artery area on the neck.It is located along the edge of the earlobe in the face of the face towards the neck and chest, which is responsible for bringing oxygen -rich blood from the heart to the brain as well as the face.This bruise produces blood clots that cause blood to be stagnant, anemia on the brain and arrhythmia.Often referred to as the sinusic sinus syndrome.

Doctor Ngo also pointed out 3 common dangers when Hickey, especially Hickey on his neck.

- Causing mouth herpes:This is a viral disease that is highly infected, they will cause parts such as the mouth and lips to be itchy, burning pain and even herpes.Therefore, if the person kisses deeply or "biting love" you are a person with herpes, the risk of you being transmitted is very high.

- Causing thrombosis:Using too strong force when hickey can seriously damage endothelial cells, causing adhesion and platelet capacitors, which can cause vascular narrowing.After that, the local accumulation of thrombin will convert fibrinogen into fibrin, forming thrombosis and affect blood supply to the brain.In case of danger (though rare) can cause stroke and many other dangerous brain vessels related to brain vessels.

- Carotid sinus syndrome:If hickey on sinuses and too strong impact force can cause sinus syndrome (also known as "ancient syndrome") causing heart rate, blood pressure decrease, even fainting and heart failure, stroke.Clinically, the probability of sinus sinus syndrome caused by kissing is low but not to be missed and Mr. An mentioned above is one of them.
