Prolonged smartphone use in China led to paralysis
A 19-year-old student in China became paralyzed due to prolonged use of a smartphone. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

A young man named Xiao Dun constantly kept his head down, staring at his phone, and did not disconnect from the device even during work hours. He worked at a restaurant in Fujian province and did not take his eyes off his phone even during breaks.

Experts consider such cases as negative consequences of a technology-dependent lifestyle. Keeping the head bent down for a long time can harm the circulatory system and cause problems in the nerves and blood vessels.

Examinations revealed that the student had strain in his neck area. This led to the formation of a blood clot in the blood vessels, restricting blood flow to the brain.

As a result, Xiao Dun lost his ability to move and one day woke up completely paralyzed. Doctors assess his condition as serious.

He is currently being treated in a hospital, with his health being restored through special therapy and physiotherapy exercises. Doctors emphasize the importance of learning from such cases.

Warnings are being issued about the need for caution when using smartphones for extended periods.
