When roads are blocked, traffic will be paralyzed; blood vessels, as the transportation channel for human blood, will also be paralyzed once blocked. Organ ischemia may occur, causing various discomforts and even life-threatening. In life, incidents of sudden death due to blockage of blood vessels occur frequently. In daily life, we should develop the following good habits to avoid clogging blood vessels.
The blood vessels are blocked, the body will "alarm"
1. Chest pain
Many middle-aged and elderly patients suffer from shoulder pain (the most common pain in the left shoulder and left arm), thinking that the onset of frozen shoulder is actually coronary heart disease. If a similar situation occurs, you should go to the hospital for further examination and diagnosis. The common important cardiovascular diseases in acute chest pain mainly include angina pectoris, acute myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism, and aortic dissection.
2. Difficulty breathing
Difficulty in breathing caused by lung diseases is the most common, such as upper respiratory tract disease, tracheal obstruction, alveolar swelling disorder, etc., and cardiogenic is also more common, which occurs in patients with heart failure. Different from the dyspnea caused by other diseases, cardiogenic patients get worse when lying supine, and relieved when sitting or standing. It is more common in elderly people with a history and signs of heart disease. ECG or echocardiography is often abnormal. Change, X-ray examination can find that the patient’s heart shadow is enlarged, the hilar and its vicinity are congested or both have pulmonary edema.
3. Syncope
Syncope is caused by reduced stroke volume or temporary occlusion of cerebrovascular. The onset is sudden, the loss of consciousness is short, and it can recover quickly. Cardiogenic syncope is different from general dizziness and headache. Although the patient may have syncope in any position, if syncope occurs during activities, it is highly suspected. The main accompanying symptoms are paleness, difficulty breathing, and possibly short-term palpitations. Exertion is a common inducement. For example, some elderly people try to relieve their stools and have similar situations, which all indicate that our patients may have an arrhythmia or severe myocardial ischemia.
4. Edema
A bad heart or a bad kidney can easily cause edema. Cardiogenic edema is characterized by first appearing in the sagging parts of the body, such as the lower extremities, especially the ankles. The edema first appears in the sacrum in patients who are bedridden for a long time.
5. Snoring
Obese friends snore easily, and patients suffering from high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, and other diseases often snore. Studies have found that long-term snorers suffer from heart attacks and strokes several times higher than non-snoring and occasional snoring people, so be careful. Now we also regard snoring as a basis for diagnosing heart disease.
Keep blood vessels open should develop the following good habits
Drink enough water. When the body lacks water, blood viscosity will increase, blood flow resistance will increase, the flow rate will slow down, and the risk of thrombosis will increase, which will indirectly induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. 6-9 in the morning is the peak period of sudden cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and high-risk groups should be hydrated in time after waking up in the morning. It is recommended to drink about 100ml of water; at night, they should also be hydrated 1 hour before going to bed. It is best to keep a glass of water by the bed for the elderly to get thirsty at night or midnight. You can drink a small sip during the day; if you sweat during the day due to high temperature or exercise, you should also hydrate in time.
Eat well. High-oil, high-salt, high-sugar, and other heavy-tasting diets can make blood thicker and increase the burden on blood flow. It is recommended to pay attention to a balanced diet, eat more fruits and vegetables, and eat less greasy, stimulating, and spicy foods. Everyone can usually eat some natural "removing plug food", such as black fungus, ginger, garlic, onion, green tea, and so on. You can also eat more vitamin-rich foods such as winter melon, cabbage, kelp, tomato, etc., which can help clean up the garbage in the blood vessels, reduce the blood viscosity, avoid narrowing the vascular cavity, and prevent thrombosis.
Stable blood pressure. A sudden increase or decrease in blood pressure will directly lead to thrombosis and shedding. Patients with hypertension should stabilize their blood pressure, and do not stop the medication suddenly or increase or decrease the dosage without authorization.
Don't stay up late. Staying up late will easily disrupt the biological clock and cause the body to secrete too much adrenaline and norepinephrine, which will slow down the blood flow and increase the viscosity. It is recommended to work regularly and go to bed before 11 o'clock every night.
Less alcohol and tobacco. Tobacco and alcohol are the nemeses of blood vessels. Studies have found that smoking and drinking can increase the viscosity of blood by more than 8 times than normal. Staying away from tobacco and alcohol is the key to ensuring blood vessel health.
A good mood. Laughter releases pressure protects the vascular endothelium and makes blood circulation smoother. When you are relaxed, your blood pressure will be relatively stable.
Walk more. Exercise can enhance heart function and promote blood circulation throughout the body. Walking more is a good choice. Walking can maintain aerobic metabolism, enhance heart and lung function, prevent the accumulation of blood lipids in the blood vessel wall, and avoid thrombosis. It is recommended to walk briskly for 30 minutes a day, taking the body warm or sweating slightly.
Three actions. Working at the desk for a long time, the blood circulation of the lower limbs will become worse. Daily office workers can do three more movements.
Action 1: Stand on tiptoe. Stand up in flat shoes, lift your heels, support your body with your toes, drop your heels about 2 seconds later, continue to lift your heels after standing still, repeat. Do it 3 times a day for 5 minutes each time.
Action 2: Stretch your toes. Lie on your back or sit on the bed, lay your legs flat, stretch your knees naturally, slowly hook your toes, try your best to make your toes face you, hold for 5-10 seconds when you reach the maximum position, then slowly lay down and rest for a while. Slowly stretch your toes, try your best to make your toes face down, hold for 5-10 seconds when you reach the maximum position, then slowly lower and rest for a while. The two actions are repeated, and the number of times is unlimited without causing pain.
Action 3: Turn the wrist. Sit or stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, or sit or stand with your upper body upright. Raise your hands horizontally, then slowly raise your wrists. It can be palm-shaped or fist-shaped. Turn both wrists from the inside to the outside 100 times, and then Turn 100 times from the outside to the inside, moving slowly.
