00:00 You know Susan, it's a fashion statement to pierce your ears.
00:05 Yes, that's true. But any body modification, you should be an expert.
00:12 That's right. Susan, since you're not expecting a simple piercing,
00:16 it could be the reason for the loss of consciousness.
00:19 That's a good story you told, Oscar.
00:26 In a complete aura, the 22-year-old Chanel is wearing a suit.
00:32 It's a big and fancy design. She's wearing it with a lot of care.
00:37 But it seems like Chanel is the one who brought the piercing to her ears
00:43 because she suddenly felt weak and died.
00:47 Chanel, can you hear us?
00:49 What happened?
00:52 [music]
00:57 It's September this year when Chanel will have her ears pierced.
01:02 I waited for my birthday to have a milestone.
01:08 On my birthday, I will have my ears pierced so I can have something new.
01:12 Together with her cousin, Chanel went to an accessory shop in a mall.
01:17 We chose that because it's cheap and we used a piercing gun.
01:22 Using the piercing gun, the piercings were quickly inserted in the second and third lobes of Chanel's ears.
01:29 But after a few minutes, she suddenly felt happy.
01:32 She suddenly felt nervous and dizzy.
01:36 We were choosing earrings for my cousin.
01:39 While we were choosing, I was able to talk to my cousin that I was feeling dizzy.
01:45 Chanel lost her consciousness.
01:48 Chanel, can you hear us? Don't fall asleep.
01:52 After that, I felt like I was being put by a security guard in a wheelchair.
01:57 When I woke up, I was already in the clinic.
02:00 According to the emergency medicine physician, Dr. Antonio Tabang,
02:05 the body's reaction to dizziness and loss of consciousness is normal to those who have sudden events.
02:12 This is called vasovagal syncope.
02:16 It can be serious or not because usually it's harmless.
02:20 It takes a few seconds and a few minutes and she will recover.
02:26 One of the possible triggers or causes is a sudden decrease in heart rate and blood pressure.
02:35 This effect is due to a lack of blood flowing to the brain and can result in dizziness and death.
02:44 In Chanel's case, she felt dizzy when she was injured or injected.
02:52 It's harmless usually at that age.
02:55 She might have a bradycardia and her heart rate will drop.
02:58 So that is a bit alarming.
03:02 There is no long-term effect on the health of the patient.
03:06 But the patient should be examined if this happens frequently.
03:11 For Christian, who has a body piercer, it's better to use sanitized needles than a piercing gun.
03:19 There are chances that if there is a spring, it will lock.
03:24 You can't just pull it out.
03:26 The needle is very sharp. If you shoot it straight, the hole is clean.
03:32 If you pierce it with a gun, it will have a strong impact.
03:35 Because it's not sharp, the impact of the gun will traumatize the ear.
03:40 Before piercing, they do double sanitation.
03:45 The customer wears a hairnet so that the hair on the ear part won't be in the way.
03:53 It's also important to wear a new earring.
03:57 I felt it a bit.
04:04 But it didn't hurt until I pierced it.
04:08 Piercing on different parts of the body is usually a self-expression or a bucket list of some.
04:17 But remember that the patient should be careful and not to be careless.
04:22 If you try new methods.
04:25 I am Oscar Oida and that is the story you need to know.
04:30 Thank you.
