"Oh, why am I so dizzy tonight?"
57-year-old Aunt Li rubbed her temples, lying on the sofa and the TV series was still playing, but she was in no mood to watch it anymore.
Aunt Li is an ordinary middle school Chinese teacher, usually the work pressure is not great, life is also regular, occasionally dizziness she usually does not care, thinking that it may be fatigue or blood pressure problems, after all, old age, these small problems are always inevitable.
Four hours later, foaming at the mouth and confused, the family rushed to 120 and was taken to the nearest hospital. Unfortunately, upon arrival at the hospital, the doctor confirmed that Aunt Li had passed away from a cerebral hemorrhage.
Every year, many people underestimate some seemingly inconspicuous symptoms, resulting in worsening of the disease and even death. Here are three "minor diseases" that are often overlooked but need to be vigilant: hypertension, diabetes and cervical spondylosis.
Let's start with high blood pressure. Everyone knows that hypertension is a "silent killer", and many times, people are already in the advanced stage of hypertension without obvious discomfort. The way to prevent high blood pressure is actually very simple, check your blood pressure regularly, eat a reasonable diet, exercise moderately, and avoid excessive salt intake.
About a small percentage of people who have been chronically experiencing persistent dizziness are directly related to reduced blood flow to the brain. Therefore, improving living habits, performing regular cervical spine exercises, and maintaining a correct sitting posture are effective ways to prevent and alleviate cervical spondylosis.
Speaking of which, you may ask, why can't these seemingly minor illnesses be delayed? In fact, the hidden dangers behind these "minor diseases" are manifold.
For example, high blood pressure, once a vicious circle is formed, not only increases the burden on the heart, but may lead to myocardial infarction and even heart failure in the long run.
So, how can we prevent and detect these diseases early in our daily life? Regular medical check-ups are essential. Don't feel that everything is okay if you are physically strong, some diseases will attack you silently. For example, high blood pressure and diabetes may have no symptoms at all in the early stage, and only through regular testing of blood pressure and blood sugar can the problem be detected in time.
In addition to this, maintaining good lifestyle habits is also key. Maintaining a moderate amount of exercise, at least half an hour of brisk walking or other aerobic exercise a day, can not only help with weight control, but also improve cardiovascular function.
As for cervical spondylosis, especially for office workers who often need to sit for a long time, getting up every hour to move and do cervical spine stretching exercises can not only relieve neck pressure, but also promote blood circulation and avoid cervical spine problems caused by staying in the same position for a long time.
Finally, of course, when there is something wrong with the body, don't be careless and seek medical attention in time. For example, if you have a sudden dizziness like Aunt Li, especially if you have no previous history of such symptoms, it is best to seek medical attention immediately to rule out some possible serious problems.
In fact, if she can be alert when she is dizzy and go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination in time, she may be able to detect potential hypertension or other problems early, and then get timely treatment to avoid tragedy.
You see, those seemingly inconspicuous minor illnesses really can't be careless. We must always have a heart of 'preventing small things from losing big things' and be responsible for our own health. By the way, speaking of which, do you have
Let's talk about the effects of diabetes. Diabetes not only has a huge impact on the quality of life of patients, such as retinopathy, kidney failure, etc. The key to preventing diabetes is weight control, eating right, staying physically active, and getting your blood sugar checked regularly.
Cervical spondylosis, which is also a common disease in modern people. Cervical spondylosis may seem to have little to do with brain health, but long-term cervical spine problems can not only cause headaches, arm numbness, and even affect blood circulation in the brain.
