Almost everyone has had the experience of having nightmares, and if a person is stressed or too excited before going to bed, watching horror movies before going to bed, etc., it is easy to cause nightmares. A swedish scientific study showed that sometimes having nightmares is actually a sign that the body can get certain diseases. So, what diseases cause the human body to have nightmares?
1. You may have heart disease.
Heart disease can have intermittent chest pain and symptoms of arrhythmia, and if a person has frequent nightmares, it may be related to intermittent chest pain and arrhythmia. Studies have found that women aged 40-64 who often have nightmares have a large percentage of chest pain and arrhythmia symptoms.
2. May suffer from diabetic hypoglycemia.
Hypoglycemia in diabetic patients is generally in the early hours of the morning, and the symptoms are palpitation, sweating, and frequent nightmares. Winter is a high incidence of hypoglycemia in diabetic patients, especially at night, because the winter night is relatively long, if diabetics do not get enough, timely energy supplementation, it is very easy to have hypoglycemic symptoms.
If diabetics wake up in the morning feeling weak, headache, or even as if they have not slept, they should be alert to whether there is no nighttime hypoglycemia.
3. There may be sleep apnea syndrome.
If you have frequent nightmares, and the content of the nightmare is a dream that cannot breathe, such as drowning or suffocation, you may have sleep apnea syndrome. It is recommended that such people go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible, sleep apnea syndrome will lead to lack of oxygen in the body, causing harm to the body.
4. May have anxiety or depression.
The data show that if a person can have three nightmares or more in a week, then within five years he is 5.7 times more likely to develop mental illness than the normal population. If you are in a period of depression or anxiety, nightmares are one of the symptoms.
5. May have Parkinson's disease.
Studies published in the British journal Lancet Neurology have shown that if they often scream, cry, and kick around because of nightmares when sleeping, the risk of Parkinson's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases in these groups will be greatly increased.
Of course, if you eat too much dinner or the quilt is too heavy, the pillow is too high, it is easy to cause nightmares, so you must not be too full before going to bed, and try to make the sleeping environment comfortable.
