Angina is a clinical syndrome caused by insufficient blood supply to the coronary arteries, resulting in a sharp temporary ischemia and hypoxia in the myocardium, and the main symptoms of discomfort are chest pain, chest discomfort and so on.
The frequency of the onset of this disease at night will be higher than that of the day, and many patients will wonder why angina is easy to occur at night. How can angina be prevented?
The ease with which angina pectoris are easily found and that nocturnal onset is related to these factors.
1, dinner is more abundant
Due to the relationship between work and study, many people will eat breakfast and lunch relatively simply, and in the evening there will be time to eat relatively better, not only eat rich but also eat more, sometimes after eating and sitting down to rest there will be a feeling of breathing difficulties.
If you want to digest these foods, you need to have enough blood supply to the digestive system, which will not only increase the burden on the heart, but also lead to less blood supply to the coronary arteries, which can easily cause angina or myocardial infarction.
2. Emotional agitation
After eating in the evening, many people will sit down and watch TV, and see that the plot ups and downs will also become abnormally excited, resulting in the body being in a state of excitement, which can easily cause increased blood pressure, coronary artery spasm, etc., which will cause ischemia of the myocardium and increase the probability of angina.
3. Take antihypertensive drugs
The blood pressure of the human body at night rest will be about 20% lower than that of the daytime, and some patients with high blood pressure are accustomed to taking antihypertensive drugs before going to bed, which will lead to a further decrease in blood pressure, and the speed of blood flow will also slow down, and the heart is prone to insufficient blood supply, which will increase the probability of angina.
So how should we prevent angina from attacking at night?
First, try to keep your emotions stable when you sleep at night, don't be too stimulated, and don't make your emotions fluctuate too much.
Second, don't eat too full for dinner, eat seven or eight points full, and don't go to bed immediately after eating. Because after eating, the blood supply is mainly concentrated in the digestive system, and the blood in other parts of the body will be relatively reduced, and it will be more likely to have angina. Therefore, after eating and dinner, pay attention to at least 1 hour or so before going to bed.
Third, you can drink a cup of hot milk before going to bed, which can not only help replenish the nutrients needed by the body, but also quickly enter a state of sleep. It can also help reduce the viscosity of the blood, which in turn can reduce the chance of developing angina.
In addition, it should be noted that angina is a relatively serious disease, and when the disease occurs, it is necessary to give corresponding treatment in time, otherwise it is likely to cause serious consequences.
For patients with angina pectoris, daily attention should also be paid to quitting smoking and alcohol, smoking and drinking will increase the probability of heart disease; develop healthy eating habits, the daily diet is best to be low salt and low fat, light and easy to digest, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, maintain standard weight; usually pay attention to rest, do not be in a state of fatigue, fatigue is easy to induce angina.
