How many of you got permanent sequelae from partial attempts?

[rs929]

For example tinnitus or vertigo, as it has been reported by other members

Also specify if you managed to pass out or not.

I already had tinnitus before trying partial so I dunno about that one. But I have had chronic shoulder pain from my practices with partial. It was earlier in the year 2020 and I was practicing with the knot at the front of my neck. I didn't have the rope anchored, I was just pulling the rope with my hands, lying on my back on the floor. After that my right shoulder became very tender. I would wake up often from sleep because I happened to roll over onto that shoulder and it would cause a lot of pain. It has since gotten better but I can sometimes still feel a little pain here and there. I'm not sure if it was from me pulling the rope or that possibly I damaged my vertebrae since that is where the most pressure would have been applied. Anyway, after that I stopped putting the knot in the front of my neck.

I didn't pass out btw.

Initial Findings in Strangulation Injury Aren't Indicative of Outcome - JEMS: EMS, Emergency Medical Services - Training, Paramedic, EMT News

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY

The structures of the neck are poorly protected and extremely vulnerable to severe injury. Vascular injuries due to strangulation aren't uncommon. Venous obstruction leads to cerebral stagnation and petechial hemorrhages develop due to lack of drainage of the deoxygenated blood. Continued obstruction of venous blood flow may cause ruptured blood vessels and hemorrhagic stroke. Carotid pressure causes low cerebral blood flow and cerebral hypoxia. A single blocked carotid artery can cause neurologic findings on the opposite side of the body due to cerebral hypoxia. Thrombosis can form in blocked vessels. Embolization of the clot to the brain can result in an ischemic cerebral vascular accident. Bradycardia and cardiovascular collapse occur from pressure on the carotid sinuses, overstimulating the vagal nerve and increasing parasympathetic tone.1 (See Table 1.)

I think a lot of My short-term memory issues are related to a ctb attempt. Tried to OD on benzos ( I know, stupid... )

Now, I have a hard time remembering some things that happened on the same day.
