Man with no previous illnesses suffers brain hemorrhage after listening to loud DJ music

Doctors suspect that a DJ’s loud music was the cause of a brain hemorrhage that occurred in a 40-year-old man from Balrampur area of ​​Surguja district.

The medical experts were surprised by this strange case because the patient, Sanjay Jaiswal, had no previous history of hypertension or any other disease or trauma.

Two days earlier, Jaiswal had suddenly felt dizzy while packing his equipment into a DJ car. Initially, he tried to ignore the feeling and went home. But later that evening, while preparing dinner, he started vomiting and also suffered a horrific headache, according to TOI.

According to Dr Shailendra Gupta, associate professor in the ENT department of Government Medical College Ambikapur, who spoke to TOI, the patient arrived at the hospital the next morning in a wheelchair.

A CT scan revealed a blood clot in the back of his brain; it was most likely the result of a burst blood vessel. Such incidents are usually associated with high blood pressure, car accidents or injuries unrelated to Jaiswal.

“At first, the patient was hesitant to tell the truth, possibly because of his connection with the DJ. He broke down when we insisted that he tell us what happened and finally admitted that he had been working near the DJ when he became dizzy from the loud music. His condition worsened later that night,” said Dr Gupta.

He also said loud noises could occasionally cause brain haemorrhages, especially in people with weaker occipital regions at the back of the head. Jaiswal’s blood pressure was normal, he said, and no evidence of previous medical problems was found.

The state government was criticised by the Chhattisgarh High Court last year for its lack of efforts to regulate noise pollution. The court asked the government to file an affidavit detailing the measures taken to address the problem, with a focus on DJs and amplifiers.

The chief secretary then called a meeting with the police and the district collectors and demanded that anyone who violates noise protection regulations should face severe consequences.
