At three o'clock in the morning, a man was suddenly awakened from his sleep, his consciousness blurred, and he was covered in cold sweat,The wife immediately woke up to check upon hearing the sound. But when she arrived at her husband's side, she found him pale, with purple lips and difficulty breathing. She quickly dialed the 120 emergency number.

After the ambulance arrived at the scene, the doctor conducted emergency rescue, but unfortunately, the patient ultimately passed away due to a sudden acute myocardial infarction.The doctor analyzed that the sudden death of the man with a heart attack was closely related to his tendency to drink alcohol before bedtime.

The heart is the most important organ in the human body, and it is also the source of energy for the human body. IfIf there is a problem with the heart, it will directly affect various organs in the body,If not treated well for a long time, it can even lead to death.

Myocardial infarction is a common heart disease, also known as Coronary artery disease. UsuallyDue to coronary artery blockage, it can lead to myocardial ischemia, necrosis, and in severe cases, even sudden cardiac arrest, endangering life. Next, let's have a detailed understanding of the symptoms, hazards, and prevention of myocardial infarction.

1. Chest pain:The most common symptom of myocardial infarction is severe chest pain, which usually radiates to the left arm, neck, and chin.Sometimes Heartburn, nausea and vomiting may occur. The pain can last for several minutes to hours, even for a whole day, and is not affected by any posture or breathing.

2. Difficulty breathing:The heart is the power source of blood circulation, and myocardial infarction can lead to insufficient blood supply to the heart, reduced pumping function, insufficient blood supply to the whole body, ischemia and hypoxia of tissues and organs, compensatoryStimulate respiratory function, resulting in Tachypnea, chest tightness and shortness of breath.

3. Dizziness and fainting:Due to insufficient blood supply to the heart, blood pressure decreases, and human blood flow decreases, especially in brain tissue, which is very sensitive to ischemia and hypoxia,Causing symptoms such as dizziness and fainting.Ischemia and hypoxia of brain tissue for more than five minutes can cause irreversible damage.

According to statistics, over 2 million people in China experience acute myocardial infarction every year, with one person experiencing it every 6 seconds.

When a myocardial infarction occurs, the heart may experience cardiac arrest, premature beats, and atrioventricular block due to abnormal coronary blood supply,Abnormal beats such as tachycardia not only cause great pain to patients,In severe cases, it is likely to endanger life due to untimely treatment.

In addition, myocardial infarction can also lead to heart failurePulmonary edema, arrhythmiaThe occurrence of complications can bring greater pain and harm to patients.

1. Improving lifestyle habits:Strengthen exercise, eat a healthy diet, etc. Everyone is the first person responsible for their own health. Appropriate physical exercise can enhance cardiovascular function and improve heart condition. In addition,Low salt and little oil can reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease.

2. Daily diet should remember "three more and few":Eat more vegetables, fruits, grains, and high fiber foods.Vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamins and minerals, and dietary fiber can help intestinal peristalsis and reduce cholesterol levels in the blood.

Fiber food can help prevent chronic diseases such as hyperlipidemia, hypertension and diabetes. The crude fiber in vegetables can effectively promote the excretion of cholesterol,Eating vegetables regularly can reduce the incidence rate of coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction.

Eat less high cholesterol, high sugar, and high fat foods. Foods with high cholesterol content can make the blood viscous, forming blood clots, blocking blood vessels, and causing heart attacks.High glucose intake will increase blood sugar and induce diabetes. diabetes can cause vascular diseases, metabolic abnormalities and myocardial infarction.

3. Regular physical examination:Regular physical examinations can detect various physical problems, early detection of signs of myocardial infarction, and timely treatment.

4. Timely seek medical attention:There is a certain window period before the occurrence of myocardial infarction,If a patient experiences symptoms of chest emptying, chest tightness, and shortness of breath, it is important to seek medical attention in a timely manner,Avoid missing the golden rescue period and causing irreparable consequences.

In addition, patients with cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension and high cholesterol mustFollow medical advice for standardized treatment,Take medication according to medical advice to ensure its efficacy and maintain a stable physical condition.

1. Smoking, drinking and Binge eating before going to bed

At night, the functions of various organs in the body gradually weaken and enter restMany people like to smoke a cigarette and have a late night snack before going to bed, which in fact greatly interferes with the normal metabolic cycle of the body.

Because cigarettes contain a large amount of harmful substances, such as nicotine and carbon monoxide, when they enter the human bodyAccelerate the contraction of blood vessels, leading to slower blood flow velocity and stimulating the formation of lipid plaques on the inner walls of blood vessels.Once these lipid plaques fall off, they will flow with blood to organs such as the heart and brain, accelerating the degree of vascular disease and leading to acute myocardial infarction.

In addition, carbon monoxide in cigarettes can also reduce the oxygen content in the blood, which is an important reason for sudden death. Therefore, smoking before bedtime poses a significant risk to vascular health, not onlyInduce the occurrence of cardio cerebral Vascular disease,It may also lead to sudden death.

After a full meal, the heart is directly stimulated, causing the myocardium to work at a high load. In the long run, this can lead to heart problems.Night snack not only affects gastrointestinal digestion, but also increases the burden on the stomach, leading to insufficient blood supply to the heart.

Drinking and eating too much before falling asleep can cause abdominal distension, discomfort, affect sleep, and can also lead to aspiration of vomit. In the long run, this can lead to metabolic dysfunction in the body and lead to diseases.

2. Staying up late and overworked, emotionally excited

Lack of sufficient sleep for a long time can bring many adverse effects to the body, and staying up late can mainly harm the heart:

(1) Long term staying up late can disrupt the body's biological rhythm,Causes the heartbeat to become unstable, which can easily lead to arrhythmia. Light may appearRapid heartbeat, palpitationsSymptoms of discomfort can lead to sudden death in severe cases.

(2) Long term lack of sleep will make the body secrete a lot of adrenaline Norepinephrine,Raise blood pressure, weaken vascular elasticity, and thicken vascular walls. This will increase the burden on the heart,Easy to cause heart disease.

(3) Emotional instability caused by overwork,Emotional excitement can also harm heart health. When people are emotionally excited, their bodies secrete a large amount of hormones,It causes Vasoconstriction, rapid heartbeat and elevated blood pressure,At this point, the heart rate accelerates, which can easily cause myocardial ischemia, arrhythmia, and induce myocardial infarction.

Everyone should maintain a regular routine and ensure sufficient sleep time every night, especially deep sleep time, which can help restore body function and reduce heart risk.

If it is necessary to stay up late and work overtime, some measures should also be taken to reduce the harm to the body, such asTake breaks in sections, regulate emotions in moderation, and maintain indoor air circulation.

1. Sudden chest pain while sleeping

If you suddenly wake up or feel chest discomfort while sleeping, you may experience chest pain. This is due to insufficient blood supply to the heart, leading to myocardial ischemia.When myocardial ischemia exceeds 30 minutes, acute myocardial infarction occurs.So people who wake up in the middle of the night or feel chest pain while sleeping should seek medical attention in a timely manner.

2. Sudden heartbeat during sleep

When you sleep soundly, your heart needs more blood supply to sustain life. IfSudden contraction and relaxation of the heart can lead to insufficient blood supply to the heart, leading to a faster heartbeat.

Therefore, when sleeping, the heart beats faster. Do not ignore this phenomenon. If symptoms such as chest pain and dizziness occur later, be sure to seek medical attention in a timely manner to avoid accidents.Patients with underlying diseases,YesPrepare emergency medicine such as Nitroglycerin at home.

In short, myocardial infarction is an extremely dangerous heart disease, and patients should be vigilant enough. Maintain good lifestyle habits, promptly detect illness and receive treatment. If you feel unwell, seek medical attention in a timely manner and use various effective methods to prevent the occurrence of myocardial infarction.
