The elderly are prone to 4 types of emergency at night

Cerebrovascular disease

During the night, the viscosity of blood will increase and the blood flow will become slow. If the elderly are already narrow blood vessels, it is easy to cause thrombosis. In addition, due to the excitement of the vagus nerve at night, blood pressure may fluctuate and cause cerebral hemorrhage and other problems. If the elderly suffer from symptoms such as limb numbness, skewed mouth, and limb inability during the night, they should be aware of the possibility of cerebrovascular disease.

Heart disease such as angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, and heart failure

Causes of cardiovascular disease easy to attack in the night, similar to cerebrovascular disease, may cause embolism due to excessive blood viscosity, may also cause sympathetic nerve activity due to fatigue, sudden climate change, or watching TV at night. High blood flow changes, increase the heart load, lead to cardiac emergency.

Asthma and other respiratory diseases

At night, changes in body position may worsen coughing and other symptoms. If you breathe while you are sleeping, it may be easier to cause dry mouth and worsen your condition. The excitement of the vagus nerve causes bronchial smooth muscle contractions, which may be the cause of asthma attacks.

Digestive system diseases

Although it is not yet possible to confirm the cause of bleeding in the digestive tract in the evening, clinically, the probability of a similar disorder is not low. Zhou Rongbin believes that it may be that when the vagus nerve is excited at night, the increase of gastric acid secretion, together with the emptying of the stomach, further exacerbates the damage of the digestive tract. If there is an old man with ulcers, he or she may experience rapid heart rate, cold extremities, dizziness, or even hemoptysis or blood in the stool. He should go to the hospital as soon as possible.

Zhou Rongbin said that to avoid the onset of the disease, the most important thing is to achieve four "laws", that is, sleep patterns, diet rules, medication laws, lifestyle rules. For example, if you do not have a cup of water before going to bed, if you do not have a doctor's advice, you do not need to change your habits in order to reduce the blood viscosity. Because everyone's body is different and it is good for others, it may not be suitable for you. "Like heart failure patients, if you drink more water before going to bed, you may worsen the disease."

Once the elderly suddenly emergencies, they can choose emergency medicine according to their own condition. If it is confirmed that it is an angina attack, you can immediately take Suxiao Jiuxin Pill. If you do not confirm the condition, do not take drugs. If you are conscious and choose your comfortable position, such as heart failure patients to maintain the best position; if you have lost consciousness, it is best not to move, keep the lateral position, to prevent vomiting into the trachea, resulting in suffocation, And immediately call 120 emergency calls.
