Sister Liu is 53 years old this year, just retired, her husband works in the field, she usually lives alone, she pays attention to health, eats less oil and less salt, and goes to the park to dance square dance when she is fine, and there is nothing wrong with her body.
During the Double Ninth Festival, her filial daughter gave her a physical examination card and asked her to go to the hospital for a full body examination to learn about her physical condition. Sister Liu was very disgusted when she heard this, she has always been thrifty, she thinks that she is not old yet, and it is not yet time to go for a physical examination.
The daughter used both hard and soft to bring her to the hospital.
The results of the hospital's examination were that Sister Liu had a slight cardiovascular disease.
Sister Liu didn't expect this result, she didn't believe it was true at all, she thought that her living habits were very healthy and she would not have any diseases in this area, and she also thought that the hospital was making a fuss and nitpicking, and she wanted to make more money for her.
Under the doctor's questioning, Sister Liu finally remembered that she had a few times of numbness in her fingers, but it passed quickly, and she didn't do it again after retirement, and she didn't go to her heart.
According to the doctor's analysis, although Sister Liu usually pays attention to a healthy diet, she has a lot of work pressure before retirement, often stays up late, and lacks exercise, which induces this disease as she gets older.
The doctor's words made Sister Liu panic, and Sister Liu decided to start paying more attention.
However, on a cold winter night half a year later, when she came home from square dancing, she suddenly felt flustered and chilled, so he sent his daughter a WeChat message.
"When I came back from dancing, it may be that it was cold and I was sweating too much, and I was a little panicked and chilled at this time, I guess I was going to have a fever, and I might not be able to go to your house tomorrow to see the children. ”
After her daughter saw WeChat, no one answered the phone, and when she arrived home, Sister Liu had already passed away. In just three hours, the mother and daughter were separated forever.
Sister Liu's sudden death shocked the friends around her, she was just 53 years old, she looked so healthy, how could she say that she would leave......
Sister Liu's tragedy also sounded the alarm for everyone, from Sister Liu's numb fingers to her sudden panic and chills, they are all reminding the majority of elderly friends that the occurrence of sudden death is traceable.
The following 8 conditions may be the precursors of sudden death!
1. Palpitation: Most of the palpitations are caused by increased heart rate, and most arrhythmias are not a big problem, and the danger is not high, but if it occurs at a high frequency, it is necessary to pay attention to whether it has developed into ventricular fibrillation.
This condition is dangerous and can sometimes leave the patient dead in just a few minutes.
2. Chest tightness: If the phenomenon of chest tightness often appears after activities, it will be relieved after a little rest, if this phenomenon occurs frequently, it is roughly coronary arteriosclerosis, indicating the precursor of coronary heart disease.
If you often have chest tightness when you are inactive, you should be alert to coronary heart disease, which may be more serious at this time, and it is easy to cause acute myocardial infarction, which is also very dangerous.
3. Fainting: Generally speaking, cardiac arrest or slow heartbeat, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the brain, will lead to fainting, which is also an important precursor to sudden death.
If you or someone in your family has ever fainted, you should be vigilant and be accompanied by someone at night.
4. Chills: chills all over the body before going to bed, hiding in the quilt can not be relieved, which means that there is a problem with the heart and circulatory system, and the blood cannot be transported to the ends of the body, which will lead to cold hands and feet, and even cold all over the body in severe cases.
5. Inexplicable fatigue: Modern people live at a fast pace, and under pressure, physical fatigue has gradually become a norm.
However, when the working and living conditions have not changed much, the body suddenly has inexplicable fatigue, which should attract a certain amount of attention.
Unexplained fatigue accompanied by symptoms such as chest tightness may be a manifestation of acute heart failure, and bed rest should be taken immediately, and there is a risk of sudden death if you work harder.
6. Numbness: If there is numbness in the hands and feet for a long time, and this situation is sudden and has not occurred before, then it is necessary to be vigilant and seek medical attention in time.
Especially for people with high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, and atrial fibrillation, once they have symptoms of numbness in their limbs, slurred speech, and unsteady walking, they should go to the hospital for treatment in time.
7. Pain: Chest pain is a very typical symptom of coronary heart disease, once there is pain in the chest, especially the crushing and severe pain, you should call 120 first, take medicine under the guidance of the doctor, and then seek medical treatment in the hospital.
8. Sweating: Heart disease patients will sweat a lot before the onset of the disease. Most of the sweating parts are on our head, back of the neck, palms of the hands and feet, once this happens, it is best for us to go to the hospital immediately.
It is not difficult to see from the tragedy of Sister Liu that even a slight cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease should attract people's attention, because the onset of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease is very sudden, and once it occurs, it may take people's lives in a short period of time.
As a middle-aged and elderly person, no matter how healthy you feel, you should also pay attention to some small symptoms at ordinary times, such as occasional heart palpitations and numbness in your hands and feet, which are all warnings from your body.
Many people who die suddenly ignore the body's signals, resulting in the accumulation of physical damage to a certain extent, and sudden death will occur.
Generally speaking, the common sudden death of middle-aged and elderly people can be divided into four categories.
1. Sudden cardiac death: such patients usually have underlying heart diseases in the past. Like coronary heart disease, myocarditis, congenital heart disease, and so on. The main cause of sudden death is usually arrhythmias due to myocardial hypoxia and ischemia.
2. Sudden death due to stroke: most of these patients are coronary heart disease, cerebral thrombosis, and myocardial infarction. In an acute attack, multiple cerebral infarctions occur in succession, and the chance of sudden death is also high.
3. Sudden pulmonary death: Most of these patients have underlying diseases of the respiratory system. For example, asthma, emphysema, bronchitis. Most of them are due to bronchospasm contractions, obstructing the airway, and then suffocation and hypoxia.
4. Sudden death by choking: Most of these patients suffer sudden death caused by food blocking the airway and suffocation for a long time.
Although the development of modern medicine is quite mature, the human body is a very complex system, and its living habits, living environment, genetics and so on will have a certain impact on health.
Especially in middle-aged and elderly people, the various organs and functions of the body gradually deteriorate, and the risk of suffering from diseases is also greater. Preventing sudden death is also a necessary course that middle-aged and elderly people should learn.
For middle-aged and elderly people, they should adjust their mentality, face life with a good mood, develop regular work and rest and eating habits, go to bed early and get up early and do not stay up late, avoid overwork, insist on exercising, regular physical examination, and achieve early detection and early treatment.
