Singer Selen Görgüzel, who had to undergo emergency surgery due to her daughter's use of an electronic cigarette, shared the terrifying experience they went through. Görgüzel stated that her daughter's health is now fine and warned her followers about the dangers of electronic cigarettes.
The 25-year-old daughter of actress and singer Selen Görgüzel, İlknaz Bektaş, who was born from her marriage to Yılmaz Bektaş, suffered a minor heart attack due to the use of electronic cigarettes. Görgüzel, describing her daughter's condition, warned, "Please do not risk your health."
"MY CHILD WAS URGENTLY TAKEN TO SURGERY"
Posting a photo of her daughter on her Instagram account, Selen Görgüzel used the following words: "My daughter İlknaz Bektaş has experienced a serious health problem due to the use of electronic cigarettes (puff). As a result of the inability of the lungs to filter the smoke, air bubbles formed around the heart, reaching a level that would obstruct the heart's function and pose a life-threatening danger. Due to the severity of the situation, my child was urgently taken to surgery and a successful intervention was performed by Prof. Dr. Çağatay Tezel. She is currently in the process of recovery, and with the permission of Allah, we believe that we will overcome this difficult period."
"DO NOT RISK YOUR HEALTH"
"We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to all our friends and loved ones who have been with us during this process, who have called and inquired about us, and who have not forgotten to pray for us. Your support is very valuable to us. We are unable to answer the phone, but please do not worry, we are fine. Finally, in the light of this challenging experience we have gone through, we would like to once again warn everyone about the dangers of using electronic cigarettes. Please do not risk your health."
İLKNAZ: AIR BUBBLES IN MY LUNGS MADE IT DIFFICULT FOR MY HEART TO BEAT
Responding to comments on her Instagram account while lying in her hospital bed, İlknaz Bektaş added the following note: First of all, I would like to thank everyone who called, asked about me, whether they know me or not. I am grateful that you did not make me feel alone during this process. Normally, I do not like to make such posts, but after the surgery I had on Friday, I was truly happy that my post contributed to people getting rid of this situation. Many people asked which brand caused this; believe me, I do not know either. We were making these plastic materials, the long-term effects of which we do not know, innocent with their color and taste. Like my peers, I had developed an addiction to these products and never expected something like this to happen to me. I eat very healthy and exercise every day. I used to say, 'It won't happen to me' because I am still very young. However, after the air bubbles formed in my lungs made it difficult for my heart to beat, the surgery I underwent changed my opinion and perspective."
"THE PROCESS WAS NOT PLEASANT, I WAS IN A LOT OF PAIN"
"Thank you again to everyone; I am doing very well and I will be even better because I will pay more attention to myself. However, I must say that despite being with the sweetest and most caring doctors and nurses in the world, this process was not pleasant and I was in a lot of pain. If there is someone who can learn from what I have experienced, it would make me very happy. Apart from that, I saw some very funny comments and I laughed a lot at them."
