If all four symptoms are present during sleep, or it is a precursor to thrombosis, check it as soon as possible, don’t be careless
As we all know, the cardiovascular system is the largest system in our body. They are located in all corners of our body and are responsible for delivering nutrients to cells and taking away metabolic waste.
Thrombosis is a small clot in the vascular system. Like a collapse in a road, they can block the normal circulation of blood, cause various embolisms, cause ischemia and hypoxia in the blood supply area, and lead to corresponding tissue necrosis. The necrosis of the heart affects the normal function, and even leads to the death of hemiplegia.
It is very important to identify whether there is a blood clot in the body as soon as possible. Generally speaking, if our body has the following four symptoms at night, most of them indicate that there is already a blood clot, and we need to be vigilant.
- Sudden chest tightness and shortness of breath
If you suddenly feel chest tightness and shortness of breath during sleep, it can be relieved by sitting up, which indicates that there is a blood clot in our body in most cases.
These emboli are placed in the heart and lungs with the blood circulatory system, resulting in hypoxia of the corresponding tissues and organs, and the body is forced to compensate by accelerating breathing. Therefore, if this symptom occurs at night, you must be vigilant, so as not to miss the best time for treatment .
- Cold hands and feet
Under normal circumstances, the temperature of our hands and feet is not too different from the temperature of other parts of the body, and the maximum is not more than 2 degrees Celsius. However, if there is a blood clot in our body, which leads to poor peripheral circulation, it is easy to cause cold hands and feet due to insufficient blood supply. symptoms.
After you have these symptoms, you must find the cause in time to confirm whether you have not given enough warmth. If this cause is ruled out, you must consider the possibility of thrombosis, and it is necessary to go to the hospital in time.
- The corners of the mouth are crooked or drooling while sleeping
It means that when you wake up, you suddenly find that the corners of your mouth are slightly asymmetrical, or even drooling on one side. If this happens to the elderly, we must be vigilant. It may be that a blood clot is blocking the brain. blood vessels, resulting in facial hemiplegia.
In addition to drooling, you should be vigilant if you feel numbness in your hands, difficulty in closing one eye, and disappearance of wrinkles on one side.
- Blurred vision
Generally, our blood circulation will slow down during sleep, so the supply to the eyes is not very sufficient, so most people will feel that the blurred vision has blurred when they wake up, but it will disappear soon. Recovery, or the occurrence of amaurosis transient in the course of daily labor, it is necessary to consider the possibility of thrombosis.
For people who suspect that they have a blood clot, in addition to seeking medical attention and taking medicine as prescribed, they should also avoid doing the following things.
- Do not force a bowel movement
As we all know, due to the blockage of thrombus, the blood in the blood vessel itself is not very smooth, and sometimes it will have a certain impact on the blood vessel in order to pass smoothly, and the whole is already in a state of high load.
It is said that if we defecate hard, it will increase the pressure in the abdominal cavity, further increase the pressure on the blood vessels, and prone to cerebral hemorrhage or heart problems, so we must not force defecation in life.
- Do not perform high-intensity activities under the scorching sun
For people with thrombosis, their blood viscosity is relatively high, and it is easy to cause excessive sweating and insufficient blood circulation due to long-term strenuous activity in the hot sun, which further increases blood viscosity and is prone to cerebral infarction.
- Don't smoke
Smoking will further constrict blood vessels, resulting in more insufficient blood circulation, aggravating the ischemic symptoms caused by thrombosis, which is very detrimental to health maintenance.
