60-year-old Mr. Xu (pseudonym) lost 20 pounds after surgery, and was accompanied by fatigue, sleeplessness, low mood, poor concentration, poor appetite and other conditions, which seriously affected his daily life and work, but there was no problem with the examination.
This made him feel very uncomfortable and confused, what was the disease?
01
I always feel tired and tired
Beware of "chronic fatigue syndrome"
In order to improve his quality of life, Mr. Xu approached He Yingchun, a famous Chinese medicine doctor and chief TCM physician of the geriatrics department of Hangzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
After careful syndrome differentiation, He Yingchun believed that Mr. Xu belonged to chronic fatigue syndrome, and according to traditional Chinese medicine, he was diagnosed with liver depression and spleen deficiency, qi and blood deficiency, and liver and kidney deficiency.
After more than two months of gradual conditioning, Mr. Xu's weight gradually returned to normal, his energy was much more energetic than before, and his physical discomfort was significantly improved.
According to He Yingchun, chronic fatigue syndrome is a syndrome characterized by chronic or recurrent extreme fatigue that persists.
Currently, there are no valid laboratory tests or imaging tests to confirm the diagnosis of chronic fatigue syndrome, which may be accompanied by low-grade fever, swollen lymph nodes, muscle aches, joint pain, decreased concentration, sleep abnormalities, immunologic abnormalities, and other psychiatric symptoms and nonspecific manifestations.
A diagnosis of chronic fatigue syndrome may be considered when other causes do not explain the patient's physical fatigue and other symptoms.
02
All of these causes can cause
Chronic fatigue syndrome
Abnormalities of the immune system
People with chronic fatigue syndrome may have abnormalities in their immune system that cause their bodies to overreact to normal substances.
Viral infections
Certain viruses, such as Epstein-Barr virus, cytomegalovirus, enterovirus, and human herpesvirus, may be associated with the onset of chronic fatigue syndrome.
Mental stress factors
Emotional issues such as psychological stress, anxiety and depression can also cause or worsen chronic fatigue syndrome symptoms due to the fast-paced pace of modern life and the high pressure of competition.
Genetic factors
Some studies believe that the onset of chronic fatigue syndrome is related to genetics, and genetics can affect the patient's own ability to tolerate stress.
Endocrine disruption
5-HTergic system dysfunction and decreased activity of the HPA system are strongly associated with the development of chronic fatigue syndrome. At the same time, patients with chronic fatigue syndrome also have abnormal secretions of adrenaline, thyroid hormones, antidiuretic hormone, and growth hormone.
Other factors
Nutrient deficiencies are also a factor, such as vitamin B, vitamin C, zinc, magnesium, and coenzyme Q10 deficiency, which can produce symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome.
03
Do these things well
Stay away from chronic fatigue
How to manage chronic fatigue syndrome? Dr. Ho has the following suggestions:
01
Have a regular schedule and rest, don't stay up late, and ensure adequate sleep.
02
Work and rest moderately, arrange time reasonably, adjust the pace of life, and avoid long-term continuous work and study.
03
Eat a balanced diet with more fresh vegetables and fruits rich in dietary fiber and less high-sugar fried foods.
04
Moderate exercise, you can reduce fatigue and increase physical fitness through light aerobic exercises such as jogging, swimming, tai chi, and Baduanjin, and each exercise is 15-20 minutes, 3 times a week.
05
Temper your emotions and keep your mood up.
Chronic fatigue syndrome is generally mixed and has a long course of disease. If you have symptoms like Mr. Xu, and the cause is not clear after various examinations, it is necessary to go to the general practice of traditional Chinese medicine.
