Summer is a period of high incidence of cardiovascular diseases, and there are four kinds of abnormalities when sleeping, so don't ignore them.
It is easy to understand that cold winter is the season of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and it can also attract enough attention. The blood vessels in our body are stimulated by cold air, which is easy to contract and spasm and easily lead to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. However, it is likely to be overlooked that heart disease is prone to occur in summer.
Why do cardiovascular diseases occur frequently in summer?
In fact, this is caused by many factors. First of all, the high temperature in summer will lead to accelerated blood circulation, aggravated vasodilation, increased blood flow back to the heart, and accelerated metabolism of the whole body, which will undoubtedly increase the burden on the heart and induce the risk of heart disease.
Secondly, because of the high temperature in summer, people's heart rate will accelerate when the temperature is high. After the heart rate increases, the diastolic period of the heartbeat becomes shorter, which leads to coronary artery ischemia and the workload of the heart will increase.
At the same time, the summer weather is sultry, and people's psychological emotions are easily agitated, nervous and anxious. Coupled with bad living habits, it is easy to cause cardiovascular diseases, and even sudden death or myocardial infarction is easy for patients with serious heart diseases.
In addition, when the weather is hot, people sweat a lot. At this time, if you don't pay attention to timely hydration, it will lead to an increase in blood viscosity and thrombosis, which may easily lead to myocardial infarction or stroke.
Poor rest in summer is also the cause of high incidence of cardiovascular diseases. "The weather is hot and dry, with high humidity, low oxygen content, long days and short nights. At this time, it is easy to cause poor rest and may induce heart disease. "
There are four kinds of abnormalities when sleeping, don't ignore them.
Clinical data show that most heart diseases occur at night.
At night, people's vagus nerve will be more excited, which will make the coronary artery contract and reduce the blood supply to the heart, thus inducing various heart diseases.
Once the body has the following abnormalities, it is necessary to be alert to heart health problems.
0 1. Sleep difficulty and sleep interruption
People with bad hearts will be flustered, night sweats and so on. , making it difficult to fall asleep smoothly.
Studies have shown that people with a bad heart will wake people up directly during sleep, leading to sleep interruption.
About 50% patients with heart failure will have central sleep apnea, which will seriously lead to suffocation during sleep.
02. Severe chest tightness, awakened.
A bad heart can also lead to chest tightness and shortness of breath, especially when sleeping.
If you suddenly feel chest tightness or shortness of breath when you sleep at night and are forced to sit up, you should seek medical advice promptly.
In addition, frequent coughing during sleep, or increased coughing, also indicates that there is a problem with cardiopulmonary function.
03. Suddenly my hands and feet are cold.
When sleeping at night, the whole body blood circulation will slow down and the blood supply to the heart will be further limited.
At this time, people with bad hearts will feel cold hands and feet, cold limbs and insufficient blood supply.
In addition, cold hands and feet and chills are also common manifestations of heart failure, which cannot be ignored.
04. inexplicable cough
Heart and lung are interlinked and closely related. If the cardiopulmonary function is not good, people are prone to cough.
Especially when sleeping, coughing often, or coughing worse, all indicate that there is a problem with cardiopulmonary function.
Cough caused by bad heart, often dry cough, will be more obvious after lying flat.
Be kind in summer and do two less things.
The heart can be said to be the busiest organ in the human body. It needs our careful care. Once there is a problem with heart health, health will be seriously threatened and even life-threatening!
Su Wen's Six Sections on Zangxiang said: "The heart is the foundation of life, and the change of God is also in the face, which is full of blood, yang and summer." It can be seen that Chinese medicine believes that "the spirit of heart and summer should be harmonious", and nourishing the heart in summer can get twice the result with half the effort. In daily life, in addition to paying attention to a light and balanced diet, ensuring adequate sleep and proper exercise, we also need to pay attention to two small details.
First thing: drink less water, or drink more water when you are thirsty.
In summer, people tend to sweat, leading to an increase in body fluid loss. If they drink less water, their blood will easily become sticky, which may lead to blood vessel blockage and thrombosis, thus inducing cardiovascular accidents such as myocardial infarction.
In addition, when thirsty in summer, some people are used to drinking a bottle of water at a time. Drinking too much water at a time will lead to rapid dilution of blood in the body, increase blood volume and increase the burden on the heart.
Therefore, when drinking water, no matter how thirsty you are, you must not drink water fiercely, drink it in small sips, don't wait until you are thirsty, and consciously replenish water.
The second thing: excessive air conditioning.
In hot summer, it is very comfortable to blow air conditioning, but remember not to blow air conditioning too much!
If you have just sweated outdoors, it is recommended not to enter the air-conditioned room immediately to avoid vascular reaction and blood supply disorder.
It should also be noted that in summer, you can't be greedy and cool and blow directly at the air conditioner, which will lead to the continuous contraction and relaxation of blood vessels, causing cerebrovascular circulation disorders and inducing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Therefore, blowing air conditioners should be moderate, not greedy!
