All You Need to Know About Salman Khan’s Medical Issues
Salman Khan’s recent revelation about his health left his fans and well-wishers concerned for the actor. He appeared on The Great Indian Kapil Show’s new season and spoke about an array of topics, including love, marriage, family, films and health. He revealed that he is dealing with multiple serious medical conditions such as AV malformation, trigeminal neuralgia and aneurysm. The actor said, “I am out here breaking my bones every day. Ribs are fractured, I am working despite having trigeminal neuralgia, there is an aneurysm in the brain, yet I am still working. There is also AV malformation, and still I am carrying on.”
Salman revealed this when he was asked about getting married. He continued, “All of this is going on in my life. And the moment their mood soured, they will take away half of what I had. Had this happened when I was younger, it would have been fine. I could have earned it all back. But now, starting over again…”
This is not the first time the actor has opened up about his health issue. In 2017, while promoting his film Tubelight, Khan said that he suffers from trigeminal neuralgia.
What is Trigeminal Neuralgia?
As per the Mayo Clinic, trigeminal neuralgia causes pain similar to an electric shock on one side of the face. It affects the trigeminal nerve, which is responsible for carrying signals from the face to the brain. The pain can be triggered by simple actions such as brushing teeth or applying makeup.
What is AV Malformation?
Also known as AVM, it is a tangle of blood vessels that creates irregular connections between arteries and veins, as per the Mayo Clinic. This condition disrupts the blood flow and prevents tissues from receiving oxygen. Symptoms can include headaches, seizures, vision problems, or muscle weakness.
Brain Aneurysm
A Brain Aneurysm is a bulge in a blood vessel in the brain. If it leaks, then it will cause bleeding in the brain, also known as a hemorrhagic stroke. Risk factors include high blood pressure, smoking, family history, and certain genetic conditions.
