The Spring Festival is a day for family reunion. It is also a time for visiting relatives and friends and eating meat. Many people’s food, work and rest are automatically switched to the "festival mode", staying up late to party, eating and drinking, and the cold weather makes the Spring Festival Become a high incidence of cardiovascular disease.
Sun Hui, deputy chief physician of the Department of Cardiology, Jinan Central Hospital, reminded that in addition to drinking and talking, middle-aged and elderly people, especially those with cardiovascular disease, should pay attention to preventing the onset of myocardial infarction and be alert to the distress signal sent by the heart.
The Spring Festival is often a small peak of heart disease, especially myocardial infarction. During the Chinese New Year, the weather is still cold. Low temperature can cause vasoconstriction, blood pressure, coronary vascular resistance, poor blood flow, and myocardial ischemia and hypoxia. Causes angina or myocardial infarction.
Secondly, it will inevitably be more tired during the Spring Festival, which will increase the heart burden and induce acute myocardial infarction.
In addition, eating a lot of big fish and meat and fatty glycerin can easily lead to thick blood and increase the probability of cardiovascular disease.
In addition, excessive mood swings are also one of the factors leading to a high incidence of myocardial infarction.
Sun Hui reminded that it is best to spend the Spring Festival leisurely, pay attention to keep warm, pay attention to rest while exercising properly, while maintaining peace of mind, and beware of myocardial infarction.
"Avoid overeating and drinking a lot of alcohol, because the intake of a large amount of high-fat, high-calorie food in a short period of time can cause a sudden increase in blood lipid concentration and blood viscosity, forming a thrombus on the basis of coronary artery stenosis, causing acute myocardial infarction At the same time, drinking a lot of alcohol will cause the blood vessels on the body surface to dilate, and blood will be transferred from the internal organs to the body surface, the heart and other important organs, so ischemia occurs, and cigarettes must be controlled.
Sun Hui reminded that even during the holidays, we must ensure adequate rest time, not to be too tired, and not to be emotional.
But you can't sit still and exercise moderately.
For example, the elderly can walk, Tai Chi and other soothing exercises, and exercise properly. Don't blindly pursue speed or exercise volume.
“It’s not lucky to take medicine during the Spring Festival.” Many elderly people do not want to go to the hospital during the New Year, and they also avoid taking medicine. Sun Hui reminded that this is very undesirable, and we must abandon this confused idea.
If you have a clear heart disease, you must take the medication according to the rules, and you should not stop taking the medication if you feel good about yourself.
Alcohol should be abstained during medication to avoid adverse drug reactions.
"For people with chronic diseases, such as diabetes, high blood pressure and other long-term medication patients, if the medication is stopped without authorization, it will often cause serious consequences." Sun Hui said that during festivals, they often eat more and exercise less, which leads to increased blood viscosity and decreased blood viscosity. Many drugs that must be taken daily, such as anti-hypertensive drugs and hypoglycemic drugs, will worsen the original diseases once they are stopped, such as cerebrovascular diseases and complications caused by diabetes.
According to reports, acute myocardial infarction is a very dangerous cardiovascular emergency. When a myocardial infarction occurs, the most typical symptom is squeezing pain, accompanied by breathing difficulties, a sense of dying, and often accompanied by profuse sweating for more than half an hour. .
However, in life, in many cases of myocardial infarction, there are often "unobvious" features, such as toothache and abdominal pain, which are easy to overlook.
Patients with high blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases and other diseases should pay special attention to them, be alert to the distress signal sent by the body, and call 120 for medical treatment in time.
