Recently, there have been too many news related to sudden death, and many friends have asked me: What should I do to avoid sudden death?
Studies have found that more than 80% of the symptoms of sudden death such as sudden falling to the ground, loss of consciousness, cessation of breathing and heartbeat are due to cardiac causes, such as acute myocardial infarction.
Our hearts, on the other hand, are more vulnerable at certain times of our daily lives and are more prone to sudden death.
Today, I summarized the 10 main high incidence of sudden cardiac death in life, and we must be careful and careful.
1. Overeating
If you eat too much, in order to digest food, the blood will be transferred to the gastrointestinal tract, and the blood supplying the heart will be relatively reduced, thus aggravating myocardial ischemia; if you eat too much greasy and consume too much fat, it will promote thrombosis and cause myocardial infarction; excessive drinking will cause brain excitement, increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, and can induce arrhythmias.

Recommendation: Seven points full per meal, light diet, coronary heart disease patients and middle-aged and elderly people do not drink alcohol.
2. Forceful defecation
It is necessary to hold your breath when defecating forcefully, and the abdominal pressure rises rapidly, which will increase the burden on the heart and induce angina, myocardial infarction and malignant arrhythmias.
Moreover, the vascular pressure increases, the blood flow rate is accelerated, and it is easy to wash down the plaques on the blood vessel wall, which will block the blood vessels, trigger acute myocardial infarction, and even sudden death.
Recommendation: Try to defecate at the same time every day, do not use too much force when defecating, when the stool is not smooth, you can use Kaiser dew and other auxiliary defecation, and usually eat more fresh fruits and vegetables and coarse grains rich in dietary fiber.
3. Take a long bath
When bathing, the blood vessels of the whole body are dilated, and it is easy to cause cerebral and cardiac ischemia in a closed and hypoxic environment for a long time.
Recommendation: Do not take a bath in the case of full meals or hunger, the bath water temperature should be equivalent to the body temperature, the time should not be too long, 10 to 20 minutes can be, older or people with limited mobility are best carried out with the help of others.
4. Strenuous exercise
Strenuous exercise forces the heart to double its work, strong contractions and relaxation, resulting in a sudden increase in blood pressure, a rapid heart rate, hypoxia of the myocardium, and even induce myocardial infarction.
Recommendation: Do a good job of warm-up exercise, it is best to carry out gentler aerobic exercise such as brisk walking and jogging, and the elderly and people with bad hearts should avoid participating in competitive sports. If chest tightness, shortness of breath and other discomfort occur during exercise, you should stop and rest immediately.
5. Excessive sadness
When sad emotions cannot be resolved, the sympathetic nervous system secretes a large number of hormones, which accelerate the heartbeat, contract the arteries, reduce the heart's blood pumping function, and then cause symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath and shock.
Advice: Keep a peaceful mind and don't be overly pessimistic and anxious.
6, the pressure is too large
Continuous overtime, long-term stress, the sympathetic nervous system will be in a state of excitement for a long time, resulting in excessive burden on the heart, which may cause heart disease.
Suggestion: timely rest, combine work and leisure, avoid staying up late and working overtime, learn to release stress and relax.
7. Emotional excitement
Watching TV, playing cards, playing chess is often sedentary, if the mood is suddenly excited, blood pressure will soar all the way, the heart rate will increase, easy to induce myocardial ischemia.
Suggestion: Everyone should not watch TV, play cards, and play chess for too long, get up and move appropriately, and avoid sitting still and emotionally excited.
8, get up too fast in the morning
Get up in the morning, wake up from the "semi-dormant" state, breathe and beat faster, blood flow accelerates, at this time, the test of cardiovascular is relatively large, prone to cardiac events.
Recommendation: When you wake up in the morning, move your limbs in bed, then sit up slowly, and then get up and get out of bed after a while.
9. Sleep and snore
"Snoring" may be a manifestation of sleep apnea, a condition that recurs apnea during sleep, which can lead to acute myocardial ischemia at night and, in severe cases, acute myocardial infarction.
Recommendation: People who sleep and snore severely should be examined and treated to rule out the risks.
10. Sudden change in temperature
When the temperature changes suddenly and the temperature is low, it is easy to aggravate the incidence of angina, myocardial infarction and sudden death. Generally speaking, the peak period of sudden death is from November to March, but in summer, when the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is large, it is also easy to cause heart disease.
Recommendation: Go out in winter to keep warm, summer air conditioning should not be adjusted too low, try to minimize the fluctuation of blood pressure.
summary:
We should pay attention to the ten situations with high incidence of myocardial infarction in daily life, and prevent cardiovascular events, not only related to patients with coronary heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, but also related to everyone, only by implementing healthy living habits into daily life can we stay away from sudden death.
