Anyone sweats, especially when the weather is hot, strenuous exercise, or when you are frightened or mentally stressed, which is a normal physiological phenomenon.
After the body suffers from certain diseases clinically, it is also possible to cause sweating, which is called pathological sweating.
I would like to remind you that if there is a frequent sweating at the same time as any of the following 5 conditions, you should be vigilant.
1. Inexplicable sweating during the day. The body immunity of the elderly is getting worse and worse, and the disease is very easy to invade the body.
If during the day, without physical exercise or physical work, the body inexplicably sweats, it may be that there is a phenomenon of double loss of qi and blood.
In this case, the elderly should actively strengthen the diet, but also appropriately increase the amount of exercise to enhance immunity, promote metabolism, so that qi and blood have improved.
2. Sweating often when sleeping. If the elderly sweat frequently after a sleep, it is possible that night sweats have occurred.
Most of these patients will have symptoms such as insomnia and dreams, palm fever, and palpitations, most of which are also caused by the body's decreased immunity or neurasthenia.
Some elderly people will not get enough sleep, resulting in poor mental state and physical strength the next day.
If the condition is more serious and has a great impact on the lives of the elderly, it is necessary to go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment in time.
3. A lot of sweating on the head. Under normal circumstances, people generally do not sweat a lot when eating. Unless some people eat very hot or spicy, irritating food, it may cause the blood flow rate to increase, so the body excretes some sweat.
If the elderly have a normal diet, but often sweating on the head, it is likely to be caused by qi deficiency. In this case, the symptoms of qi deficiency should be improved by adjusting the diet or going to the hospital for treatment.
4. A lot of sweating in the chest or heart socket. If the elderly find that their hands and feet are not sweating much, but the frequency of sweating in the chest or heart socket is high, and the sweating is large.
It is necessary to be vigilant against the phenomenon of spleen deficiency, in this case, a series of measures to supplement the spleen should be taken;
For example, eat more yellow foods, eat a light diet, stay away from tobacco and alcohol, regular work and rest time, and improve the function of the spleen before abnormal sweating can be improved.
5. Sweat a lot in the palms of your hands or feet. If the elderly have a yin deficiency phenomenon, it may cause a lot of sweating in the palms of the hands or feet.
If in this case, the elderly also have symptoms such as dry stool, dry eyes and nose, and bad breath, they should be wary of internal heat.
You need to drink more water, eat more light-tasting foods, and various fruits to improve your discomfort.
Elderly people should be vigilant if they have any of the above 5 situations.
It is necessary to adjust the diet structure according to their own situation, strengthen physical exercise, and also regularize the work and rest time, and develop good living habits such as not staying up late, not smoking, and not drinking, so that the physical condition has improved.
If you find that after taking a series of measures, the abnormal sweating situation still cannot be improved, you must go to the hospital in time to receive the corresponding examination, clarify the specific reasons and then treat the symptoms, so that the body can return to normal as soon as possible.
