    Doctor Tweets About "Beauty Parlor Stroke," claiming a woman suffers after a Salon Hair Wash
    "The woman initially experienced dizziness, nausea, and vomiting while having her "hair washed with shampoo in a beauty parlour,"

    Digital Desk: The visit to a salon for relaxing treatments by a 50-year-old Hyderabad woman turned out to be a nightmare. The woman had a stroke while having her hair washed before getting her hair trimmed. According to the medical professionals, her stroke was caused when she bent her neck back to wash. This puts strain on a vital blood vessel that supplies the brain.

    This information is being shared on Twitter. "The woman initially experienced dizziness, nausea, and vomiting while having her "hair washed with shampoo in a beauty parlour," wrote Hyderabad Neurologist Dr. Sudhir Kumar.

    The doctor went on to say, "She was initially taken to a gastroenterologist, who treated her symptomatically. Her symptoms did not improve, and she developed a mild imbalance while walking the next day. She was referred to me for advice. Her symptoms did not improve, and she developed a mild imbalance while walking the next day. She displayed mild right-cerebellar symptoms. An infarct in the right posterior inferior cerebellar territory was revealed by MRI brain, and an angiogram revealed left vertebral hypoplasia."

    Dr. Michael Weintraub coined the term "beauty parlour syndrome" in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 1993 after seeing five women who developed serious neurological symptoms after shampooing at hair salons. Severe dizziness, loss of balance, and facial numbness were among the complaints. According to a 2016 Guardian article, four out of every five people had a stroke.
