Wheat (pseudonym) is a sophomore in college, with a lively and outgoing personality, good at conversation, willing to chat with anyone, and usually studies hard, and his grades are at the top of his class, which is very popular with his classmates.
But in the past 2 months, the classmates found that Wheat seemed to have changed as a person, becoming untalkative, listless, sleeping in the dormitory all day, and becoming fatter.
Usually I go out to do part-time jobs and engage in club activities on weekends, but during this time, Wheat feels that he has lost interest in everything, and he is lazy, and he loves to lie in the dormitory when he has nothing to do, and he doesn't like to go to class, his attention is not as concentrated as before, and he will always be distracted and in a daze in class.
When she came home from the holidays, her parents noticed that Mai's behavior was wrong, and they were out of step with her before, and they were worried that there was something wrong with her health, so they took her to the hospital for a physical examination.
After systematic examination, the results of the examination showed that the thyroid-stimulating hormone was 8.5uIU/L, and the wheat was diagnosed with hypothyroidism, that is, hypothyroidism.
Doctors remind that hypothyroidism, also known as "lazy disease", is a systemic disease caused by insufficient synthesis and secretion of thyroid hormones or physiological effects, mostly in women, and can occur at any age, and the prevalence increases with age.
If you find that you or someone around you has symptoms of "lazy, fat, and weak" for unknown reasons, do not self-diagnose sub-health, and go to the hospital in time to check thyroid function, which is likely to be caused by hypothyroidism, so as not to delay treatment.
A person lying lazily in front of you and not saying a word for a long time, you may feel that he is too lazy or too tired, but if it is like this for a long time, you should pay attention, it may not be lazy, but sick.
"Lazy" is sometimes not that people are really lazy, but a "first aid" signal, so be vigilant!
These 6 diseases can make people lazier and lazier
01
Hypothyroidism
Hypothyroidism is a relatively common type of thyroid disease in clinical practice, which will lead to a decrease in the level of thyroid hormone in the human body, which will cause metabolism to slow down, which is further manifested as unexplained fatigue and fatigue, resulting in the whole person becoming very tired and listless, and many patients will be drowsy, lazy or lazy.
Hypothyroidism will have a certain impact on the nervous system, and the early clinical manifestations of patients are memory loss, mental decline, sluggish expression, slow response, etc., and in severe cases, dementia may sometimes occur, and even myxedema coma may occur, so it is easy to be misdiagnosed as a mental disease.
In addition, patients with hypothyroidism will have a low basal metabolic rate and reduced energy expenditure due to hypothyroidism, so the body is more likely to gain weight than the average person, and it is more difficult to lose weight.
In addition, the skin of hypothyroidism patients will become cold and dry, yellow or very pale in color, some patients will not sweat even on hot days, and some patients with hypothyroidism will experience hair loss, dry and dull hair, and in severe cases, it will affect the eyebrows.
Patients with hypothyroidism can be treated with oral drugs such as levothyroxine sodium tablets, thyroid tablets, or levotriiodothyronine sodium under the guidance of doctors to regulate thyroid function and improve symptoms.
02
Hypocythemia
Potassium is a very important ion in the human body, which can maintain the body's acid-base balance, participate in energy metabolism and maintain the normal function of nerves and muscles.
正常血清钾浓度一般为3.5~5.5mmol/L，低钾血症指血清钾＜3.5mmol/L。
If the potassium in the body is reduced, when the serum potassium < 3.0mmol/L, it will affect the patient's neuromuscular function, and the general fatigue, laziness, and unwillingness to move may also be accompanied by paleness, clammy limbs, numbness of limbs, blood pressure drop and other symptoms.
When serum potassium < 2.5 mmol/L, generalized muscle weakness, limb paralysis, and decreased or absent tendon reflexes may occur, also known as hypokalemic periodic paralysis.
For patients with hypokalemia, potassium can be supplemented through diet, such as eating more meat, vegetables, fruits, beans and other foods, and in severe cases, potassium chloride injection, potassium chloride sustained-release tablets and other drugs should be supplemented according to the doctor's instructions.
03
Iron deficiency anemia
Anemia can cause people to feel sleepy, drowsy, and tired, and can also be accompanied by loss of appetite, paleness, coarseness of breath after activity, and poor breathing.
People with anemia are prone to fatigue and lethargy, mainly due to insufficient hemoglobin in red blood cells.
Red blood cells are responsible for transporting oxygen in the human body, and hemoglobin can combine oxygen to form oxyhemoglobin, which ensures that the brain has enough oxygen.
Patients with anemia should pay attention to eating more nutritious and iron-rich foods in daily life, such as animal liver, spinach and lean meat, etc., do not do strenuous exercise to avoid symptoms of dizziness and fatigue, and ensure adequate sleep.
If there is a serious adverse reaction, it is necessary to go to the hospital in time to avoid delaying the condition.
04
Depression
Depression is a mental illness of depressive disorder, and the causes of its formation are related to genetic factors, psychosocial factors, etc.
Patients may experience symptoms such as persistent depressed mood, decreased interest, and anhedonia.
Depression can cause abnormalities in the patient's nervous system, disrupt brain function, and cause physical undesirable phenomena, such as sleep disorders, decreased appetite, weight loss, and even loss of energy, resulting in general fatigue, reluctance to move, reluctance to speak, etc., especially if you don't do anything, you will still feel very tired, and this tiredness cannot be relieved by rest.
05
diabetes
When patients have poor glycemic control, high blood glucose can lead to high plasma osmolality, which affects the metabolism of many tissue cells, including muscle metabolism and neurological metabolism.
If there is a disorder in muscle metabolism, fatigue will occur, and if there is a disorder in the metabolism of the central nervous system, it will cause drowsiness and become lazy.
06
Adrenal insufficiency
Adrenal insufficiency is adrenal insufficiency due to insufficient secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone by the pituitary gland, and patients may experience symptoms such as fatigue, fatigue, fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, weight loss, dizziness, and drowsiness.
In addition, adrenal insufficiency can cause skin and mucosal pigmentation, which is tan, shiny and not high above the skin surface, and is distributed throughout the body, but is more obvious in exposed areas and easily rubbed areas, and there are often white spots on pigmented skin.
How can I prevent hypothyroidism?
1. Dietary care: Maintain a balanced diet, adequate iodine intake is essential for thyroid function, marine fish, kelp and other iodine-rich foods can be added to the daily diet, and you can also consume more foods rich in vitamin D, iron, zinc and selenium and other trace elements, which also help promote thyroid health.
However, patients with hypothyroidism should pay attention to avoid excessive iodine intake, avoid long-term consumption of large amounts of foods that cause goiter, such as cabbage, turnips, cabbage, radish, lettuce, etc., and patients with hypothyroidism should also eat less salty foods to avoid aggravating edema.
2. Exercise: Regular exercise is one of the important measures to prevent hypothyroidism, and proper physical exercise can increase the metabolic rate, enhance the body's immunity, and promote the normal secretion of thyroid hormones.
It is recommended to do moderate-intensity aerobic exercise 3~5 times a week, such as brisk walking, swimming or cycling, etc., which are all good choices.
In addition, it is also necessary to pay attention to the combination of work and rest, avoid fatigue, avoid large mood swings, and maintain a regular life.
3. Regular check-ups: Monitoring thyroid function can detect potential problems early and take appropriate treatment measures.
In particular, special populations need to be screened, such as pregnant women can have thyroid function tests when trying to conceive or during pregnancy to avoid the occurrence of hypothyroidism.
