'You were this close to a coma,' a doctor recently told Josh Hader, 28.
Josh Hader, 28. By Allyson Chiu Allyson Chiu Reporter with the Morning Mix team Email Bio Follow May 3 at 6:54 AM Josh Hader’s neck was bothering him — again. He’d been feeling the discomfort for a couple weeks and recently thought some light stretching could provide relief.
McCollom said Hader had torn his vertebral artery, one of the major arteries in the neck that goes up into the brain. A vertebral artery tear, or dissection, is known to cause strokes that can affect younger people in their 20s or 30s, and has nothing to do with a person’s health, Kazuma Nakagawa, a stroke neurologist, told The Post.
In the couple of minutes it took his father-in-law to arrive to take him to the hospital, Hader said his condition drastically worsened. By the time they reached the emergency room about a half-hour away, Hader couldn’t walk at all and needed a wheelchair. His wife, Rebecca, told The Post she was also couldn’t believe her husband had a stroke. She said she always told him not to pop his neck.
I just wanted to give a more “formal” update. I'm still in the icu but I'm recovering. It ended up being a torn artery... The vertebral arteries in the neck join in the brain to become the basilar artery, which serves the critical role of supplying blood to the brain stem, Nakagawa said.
