"Lao Zhang, I have to tell you about the situation of your eyes. Doctor Wang Jikuai looked up at Zhang Jianguo in front of him and reminded.
Things have to start with Zhang Jianguo's eyes. Lately, he has been feeling dry eyes, blurred vision, and the occasional floater. I thought it was just ordinary fatigue, but Dr. Wang Jikuai said that it might be a sign of heart problems.
"Did you know that a lot of people ignore the relationship between the eyes and the heart? Dr. Wang Jikuai said. "If there is a problem with the retina, it is likely that there is a problem with blood circulation throughout the body. ”
Zhang Jianguo muttered in his heart: What does this have to do with sudden death?" "You have a microhemangioma in the fundus, which is a common problem in diabetes, but it is also a warning for the heart. Dr. Wang Jikuai said.
"Your eye pressure is on the high side. High intraocular pressure is not just a problem with glaucoma, it can also be caused by poor circulation of fluids in the body. Long-term high intraocular pressure may lead to damage to the optic nerve, affecting blood flow to the brain, which indirectly increases the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. ”
"Your retinal arteriosclerosis, which is part of hardening of the arteries, which can cause insufficient blood supply to the heart, which can cause angina pectoris or even myocardial infarction. ”
Dr. Wang Jikuai looked at Zhang Jianguo, "So, these three eye abnormalities are not trivial, they may be the precursors of your heart problems." ”
When Zhang Jianguo heard this, he felt a tingling on his scalp. Originally, he just felt uncomfortable in his eyes, and when he checked it, it seemed as if he might die suddenly at any time.
"Then what should I do?" asked Zhang Jianguo. Dr. Wang Jikuai said: "Don't worry, if you know the problem, it will be easy to deal with." We will give you detailed instructions on life and diet, and at the same time, I will prescribe some medications to lower blood pressure and control blood sugar. You'll also need to have regular fundus and heart check-ups. ”
Zhang Jianguo asked, "Doctor Wang Jikuai, what is the retinal arteriosclerosis going on? Does it have anything to do with what I usually eat?"
Dr. Wang Jikuai said, "Retinal vascular sclerosis is closely related to your eating habits. Too much fat and sugary foods can accelerate arteriosclerosis, especially those with animal fats. ”
"To put it simply, your blood vessels are slowly losing their elasticity and blood flow is blocked, putting a strain on your heart. That's why it's so important to eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly to help keep your blood vessels healthy. ”
Zhang Jianguo completely understood now that there were so many big problems hidden behind the small problems in his eyes. He decided to adjust his habits after he went back, after all, no one wanted to "leave" like this all of a sudden.
Zhang Jianguo sat in Dr. Wang Jikuai's office for a while, his mind still swirling with all the information he had just discussed. He originally thought that the eye problem was just a small problem such as presbyopia, but he didn't know that it involved so many major cardiovascular and cerebrovascular problems.
"Dr. Wang Jikuai, I heard that there is a saying that blue light is not good for the eyes, especially those of us who often need to drive at night. I usually spend a lot of time using my mobile phone and navigator, so will the blue light emitted by these devices also have an effect on my heart?" Zhang Jianguo asked.
"Blue light mainly interferes with our retinal health and sleep cycles. Prolonged exposure to high-intensity blue light can increase eye fatigue and, in severe cases, accelerate macular degeneration. ”
He continued: "As for the effects of blue light on the heart, although it is not directly related, there are many indirect effects. As a taxi driver at night, if you are exposed to blue light for a long time and affect your sleep, you are indirectly increasing the burden on your heart. ”
He looked at Zhang Jianguo seriously, "So, my advice is to reduce the use of electronic devices when driving at night as much as possible, or choose some eye protection measures that can reduce the impact of blue light, such as using blue light filters or eye protection mode." ”
"At the same time, ensuring adequate rest and quality sleep is very necessary to protect the heart. Zhang Jianguo nodded like pounding garlic, feeling that he had learned a lot today. It turns out that even my mobile phone and navigation device can be related to heart health, I really didn't expect it.
He decided to adjust the settings of his mobile phone and in-car equipment when he returned home today to minimize those invisible hazards.
What do you think about why more and more people are dying suddenly?
