Sleeping at night, when the body has 4 kinds of manifestations, it indicates that the thrombus may be approaching, and it should be checked in time
What is a thrombus? A thrombus is a lumpy substance in a blood vessel, which is mainly composed of red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, insoluble fibrin and other substances.
Don't underestimate the thrombus, because it will adhere to the blood vessel wall, and more and more blood vessels that gather locally will become narrower and narrower. After the blood cannot flow smoothly from here, people are prone to ischemia and hypoxia. In some cases, the walking function is affected in mild cases, and life safety is endangered in severe cases.
Blood clots are called "silent killers", and the diseases caused by blood clots in different parts are also different.
For example, a thrombus in the legs is a venous thrombosis, a thrombus in the lungs can cause pulmonary embolism, a thrombus in the heart can cause myocardial infarction, and a thrombus in the blood vessels of the brain can cause cerebral infarction.
No matter what kind of situation is very harmful, you should go to the hospital for examination in time if you find any abnormality, especially if you have the following four symptoms when you are sleeping, you should be alert to the occurrence of blood clots.
- Numbness and chills in the limbs. People with insufficient qi and blood or who do not usually pay attention to keeping warm are prone to symptoms of numbness and chills in the limbs.
Especially after thrombosis occurs in the blood vessels of the human body, the blood cannot flow smoothly, and the limbs located at the distal end of the body cannot circulate blood smoothly. Even if the body's warm measures are very good, the limbs may appear numb and cold. This situation is more obvious especially when sleeping at night, and everyone should be vigilant.
Second, poor breathing. The lungs are responsible for gas exchange in the human body. If there is a thrombus in the lungs, the blood in the lungs cannot flow smoothly. After a pulmonary embolism, the poor blood supply to the lungs will lead to symptoms such as chest tightness, asthma, and labored breathing.
Especially when sleeping at night, the blood circulation of the whole body will become slower, the lungs are more prone to ischemia and hypoxia, and the symptoms of physical discomfort will become more serious.
Third, calf cramps, pain. Some people usually do not pay attention to maintaining sufficient calcium in the body, and may experience calf cramps and pain symptoms. In this case, active calcium supplementation can improve the condition.
If the body's calcium nutrition is sufficient, and the symptoms of calf cramps and pain often appear at ordinary times or at night, it is necessary to be alert to the disease or thrombosis of the blood vessels in the legs.
- Drooling while sleeping. Children may drool when they sleep. If adults also drool on one side when they sleep at night, they should be alert to the abnormality of the blood vessels in the brain.
Because the local blood circulation is not smooth, the cells of the brain are ischemia and hypoxia, the nerve function will also decline, and the glossopharyngeal cannot be better controlled. After the saliva is secreted in the mouth, it will flow out from the corner of the mouth;
If you swallow while sleeping, you may cough until you wake up, and you may even have a cough when you eat or drink at ordinary times.
To sum up, as long as any of the above situations occur while sleeping, you must be alert to the problem of blood vessels.
Everyone should go to a regular hospital to check whether there is a thrombus in the blood vessel in time, and use drug thrombolysis or thrombectomy through surgery in time. Only after the thrombus is removed can the body be prevented from further damage.
It is also necessary to control your blood pressure, blood lipids and blood sugar at ordinary times to avoid excessive viscosity of the blood, so as to reduce the incidence of thrombosis.
