Mr. Chen, who is 62 years old, has been helping his children take care of them since he retired early at home. As the child is still young, he often makes it difficult for Mr. Chen to go to bed late, which leads to him staying up late and overworking. L

One day, he felt dizzy and thought of taking a nap. However, after taking a nap, he suddenly had a heart attack and was sent to the hospital. The rescue was ineffective, and he bid farewell to this world for a long time.

According to statistics, the number of new cardiovascular disease patients in China reaches 30 million every year, and 60%~70% of them will die within one week after the onset.

Among them, the incidence rate of acute myocardial infarction is the highest, because once myocardial infarction occurs, it means that the heart has been ischemic and hypoxic, thus inducing myocardial necrosis.

Many people feel that a heart attack is far away from them because there are no sudden heart attacks in life.But in fact, if you have bad lifestyle habits or excessive emotional fluctuations, physical fatigue, etc., it will increase the risk of acute myocardial infarction.

Data shows that about 80% of myocardial infarction patients develop symptoms before bedtime. If a heart attack occurs before bedtime, the risk of death is higher.

So it is important to remind everyone that middle-aged and elderly people should develop good living and eating habits, especially by doing fewer of these things before going to bed.

Angry, staying up late, or drinking excessively:

Long term anger or sulking can be very harmful to the heart.Because when angry, the human body will experience a series of stress reactions.

For example, the secretion of hormones such as adrenaline will increase, leading to vasoconstriction and spasms, and increasing vascular resistance. In this way, the burden on the heart will also increase. And when angry, the blood circulation speed in the body will also increase, which can trigger a heart attack.

Staying up late and drinking excessively are also very harmful to our bodies, so we should at least ensure sufficient sleep time every day.

And excessive drinking is extremely harmful to our liver, so whether middle-aged or young people have such bad habits, it is necessary to correct them in a timely manner.

Load exercise:

Many people believe that exercise can exercise their bodies, so they engage in vigorous exercise before going to bed at night. But for middle-aged and elderly people,Intense exercise poses great harm to the body, not only increasing the burden on the heart, but also increasing blood viscosity.

It is easy to induce cardio cerebral Vascular disease if you do strenuous exercise before going to bed at night.

Especially after doing some strenuous exercise before going to bed, it is easy to experience an increase in heart rate. At this time, the blood circulation speed becomes faster, which can lead to myocardial ischemia and hypoxia.

And at night, all organs of the body are in a resting state. If you engage in vigorous exercise, the burden on the heart will become heavier, and the blood flow rate in the blood vessels will also increase.

Moreover, vigorous exercise before going to bed at night can also cause plaques in the blood vessels to fall off.Once detached, it can block blood vessels, leading to diseases such as myocardial infarction.

Effort to defecate:

Defecation before sleep has a great impact on health, especially for people with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes and other diseases.

If you defecate vigorously before going to bed, it is easy to cause an increase in blood pressure, which can lead to the occurrence of myocardial infarction.

Therefore, middle-aged and elderly people should develop good bowel habits in their daily lives, and eat more foods rich in dietary fiber, such as green leafy vegetables, fruits, and coarse grains.

These foods can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and also promote the excretion of feces from the body, avoiding the phenomenon of forced defecation. Additionally, it is important to avoid issues such as prolonged or excessive bowel movements.

Sudden cold:

Before going to bed, middle-aged and elderly people must keep their bodies warm, especially their heads and feet.Because once the body gets cold, it will make Vasoconstriction shrink, thus increasing the burden on the heart.

Moreover, exposure to cold stimulation before bedtime can easily cause the heart to be in a relaxed state, leading to a rapid increase in blood pressure and triggering vasospasm. Once blood pressure rises, it will increase the burden on the heart, leading to myocardial infarction.

Sleep immediately with a full stomach:

Eating too much is very disadvantageous for middle-aged and elderly people. If you eat too much, it will lead to increased blood lipids, which is easy to cause thrombosis and plaque in the blood vessels, thus causing various Vascular disease.

Therefore, middle-aged and elderly people must control their intake when eating dinner, and it is best not to overeat.It is recommended that everyone can eat some coarse grains, vegetables, fruits, fish and other foods appropriately, which can supplement nutrition without consuming too many calories.

The above factors all increase the risk of myocardial infarction before bedtime. So middle-aged and elderly people must change some of their bad habits and take measures to prevent myocardial infarction.

If you have a heart attack, you should also go to the hospital for treatment in a timely manner, and do not miss the best rescue time. Your life is only once.
