Blood is a very important part of the human body, which contains platelets, red blood cells, white blood cells, etc. needed by the human body, and when its flow is smooth, it can maintain the physiological operation of various organs.
However, some people in life often have bad living habits, resulting in blood becoming viscous, so that the blood flow rate will slow down, light will cause numbness in hands and feet, dizziness and headache and other serious ischemia and hypoxia, and may also induce serious cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction.
So I hope that everyone pays more attention to the performance of the body, if there are the following 4 abnormalities in the recent inexplicable, most of them are symptoms of blood viscosity.
1. Dizziness and pain in the head
If the blood is too viscous, patients will often have dizziness and headaches, especially after a night's sleep, but still have symptoms of abnormal head when they wake up early, so they need to pay attention to it.
Because the blood viscosity increases, it cannot circulate to the brain site in a short period of time, so the brain cells will be in a state of ischemia and hypoxia, and eventually they will show abnormalities.
2. Blurred vision
For people without eye diseases, if there is no external factor, but suddenly there are symptoms of not seeing clearly, it is also necessary to consider whether the blood viscosity has increased.
Because the blood is too viscous, the blood flow circulation is hindered, the optic nerve and the retina will be in a state of ischemia and hypoxia, and eventually cause the consequences of not being able to see clearly, this manifestation is clinically called paroxysmal blurred vision, if not paid attention to, over time, even complete blindness.
3. Purple lips color
In the cold winter, if there is no warm measures, the color of people's lips does have purple performance, but to go to the environment with a suitable temperature, this situation can also be improved, but if it is not stimulated by cold air, the lips still have symptoms of purple, it may be a sign of increased blood concentration.
4. Difficulty breathing
Under normal circumstances, the blood will start from the left ventricle, and then exchange oxygen and metabolites such as nutrients and carbon dioxide, and finally return to the left atrium, but if the blood viscosity is too high, the blood flowing back to the heart during the current squat process will be reduced, at this time oxygen and carbon dioxide can not be exchanged normally, the lungs will be over-ischemic, and eventually show symptoms of breathing difficulties.
Once the above abnormalities are found, it is recommended that you seek medical treatment as soon as possible and do the following things to improve.
1. Drink plenty of water
If you want to alleviate the problem of blood viscosity, you should first drink more water, which will help to dilute the blood, of course, in addition to drinking boiled water directly, you can also drink it with hawthorn soaked water. Because hawthorn contains bioflavonoids and triterpenoids, it has the effect of dilating blood vessels and lowering cholesterol and triglycerides.
2. Light diet
Because the main factor causing blood viscosity is an unhealthy diet, if you want to improve, you should maintain a light diet and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, such as apples, onions, tomatoes and so on.
All in all, nutrients can only be delivered when the blood is flowing normally, but if you don't pay attention to some things, it will lead to blood viscosity, which will cause multiple abnormal manifestations, such as the above-mentioned purple lips, dizziness, headache, blurred vision and difficulty breathing. Even if you only encounter one, you must pay attention to it and go to the hospital as soon as possible.
