65-year-old Grandma Chen got up to drink water at night because of thirst on an ordinary night, but accidentally suffered a sudden myocardial infarction and died after rescue efforts failed.
Grandma Chen is a retired primary school teacher who has always been physically strong. That night, she suddenly felt thirsty in her sleep, so she got up and wanted to go to the kitchen for a drink. But as soon as she stepped out of the bedroom, she suddenly felt a sharp chest pain, like a ton of heavy stones pressed against her chest, and her breathing became very difficult. She woke up her son Xiao Ming in horror.
Xiao Ming saw that his mother's situation was wrong, so he quickly dialed 120. The ambulance arrived soon after, and the paramedics gave first aid to Grandma Chen and rushed her to the nearest hospital. After a series of examinations, the doctor diagnosed Grandma Chen's symptoms as due to myocardial infarction caused by coronary heart disease. Although the doctors tried their best to save the people, due to the late onset of the disease, Grandma Chen eventually died. Xiao Ming and his family were extremely sad.
Resident doctors say it's not uncommon for Grandma Chen to have a sudden illness at night, especially for the elderly. The physical function of the elderly declines, and some complications are more likely to occur at night, so special attention must be paid to the following three "night taboos":
1. Don't stay up late
Staying up late can impair bodily functions, increase fatigue, and increase the risk of disease. Older people should get a good night's sleep and get at least 7 hours a day.
2. Avoid eating and drinking too much at night
After eating, the body needs a lot of energy to digest and absorb, which will increase the burden on the heart, brain and lungs and other organs, and easily induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, the elderly should never eat and drink too much in the middle of the night.
3. Avoid strenuous exercise late at night
In the dead of night, the body is at its most relaxed, and sudden strenuous exercise can easily lead to joint sprains, muscle strains and other traumas, and even serious cardiovascular accidents.
The doctor emphasized that once the elderly have symptoms such as chest pain, headache, and difficulty breathing, they should call the emergency number for medical treatment as soon as possible, and should not be taken lightly. Therefore, the elderly should develop good work and rest habits, avoid the "three taboos at night", and pay attention to keeping warm and cold, so as to truly avoid the invasion of night complications.
Grandma Chen's misfortune has drawn a high profile about the health of the elderly at night. In fact, in addition to the above "three taboos", there are many other potential dangers to be vigilant against, such as falling and falling at night, poor mental state at night, etc. As we age, we must become more and more aware of safety precautions in our nighttime lives.
However, we should not be overly panicked or nervous about the illness in the old age and Chinese New Year's Eve. Everyone's life cycle will inevitably encounter various problems and challenges, as long as you maintain an optimistic and positive attitude, work and rest regularly, pay attention to protection, and establish good family and community care, most nighttime symptoms can be avoided or reduced.
Medical malpractice is painful, but life is short and fleeting, so it's better to invest your limited life in something more positive. Don't grieve too much, but learn from it, face up to every aspect of life, and respond positively with wisdom and courage. In the face of the relatives around us, give meticulous care, so that everyone can enjoy a beautiful sunset. This may be the best memorial to the deceased.
