Early morning is a dangerous time...

Early morning and when you wake up in the morning are also dangerous times for cardiovascular disease.

According to "Analysis and Prevention of Sudden Events in Heart Disease Patients at Night", clinical practice has found that sudden death is most common between 00:00 and 07:00. Many heart diseases, such as acute myocardial infarction, various types of arrhythmias, and heart failure, can cause sudden cardiac death.

Due to hypercoagulation of blood or contraction of coronary arteries during this period in the early morning, coupled with changes in autonomic nervous activity and endothelial dysfunction, coronary artery spasm is aggravated. At the same time, vagus nerve tension increases at night, leading to worsened myocardial ischemia and hypoxia and inducing sudden death.

Poor heart

Pay attention to these 4 signs

Zhang Shiwen, attending physician of the Department of Cardiology at the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University in Jiangsu Province, reminds you that if you have a bad heart, please be alert to these four signs at night.

1. Severe chest pain

If you have a bad heart and suddenly have severe chest pain at night, or severe chest tightness and sweating that lasts for a long time, and is not significantly relieved by medication such as nitroglycerin or quick-acting heart-saving pills, you must be alert, as this may be a manifestation of severe myocardial ischemia or even myocardial infarction.

2. Sudden awakening

If you suddenly wake up from sleep and have to sit up to feel a little better, especially if you are coughing and coughing up pink sputum, this may be a sign of heart failure and you must see a doctor as soon as possible.

3. Heart palpitations

Night is also a high-incidence time for atrial fibrillation. Its main symptoms are panic, irregular heartbeats, and a very irregular pulse.

4. Insomnia

If you have a bad heart and suddenly suffer from insomnia, you should also be alert. It is best to measure your blood pressure and heart rate. High blood pressure, fast heart rate and insomnia are all manifestations of sympathetic nerve excitement, and may also be a precursor to other heart problems.

Protect your heart

8 Things to Remember

1. Be gentle when you wake up in the morning

When people wake up from a "semi-sleeping" state, their breathing and heartbeat speed up, and blood flow speeds up, which can easily cause aging cardiovascular and cerebrovascular ruptures. It is recommended to move your limbs in bed in the morning and then sit up slowly.

2. Drink a few sips of water after waking up

Drinking a glass of warm water after waking up in the morning can appropriately dilute blood viscosity and reduce the risk of myocardial infarction.

Don't drink too much water at one time. It is recommended to drink it in small sips and multiple times. For people with poor heart, a large amount of water will quickly dilute the blood, increase the blood volume, and increase the burden on the heart.

3. Exercise in the sun

Exercise after the sun comes out and the temperature rises to avoid sudden stimulation of blood vessels by low temperature and reduce the occurrence of myocardial infarction.

4. Don’t exceed the heart rate limit during exercise

Only by persisting in exercise can you ensure good cardiopulmonary function. When exercising, it is recommended that the average person's heart rate should be 60% to 80% of the maximum heart rate (maximum heart rate: 220-age).

5. Eat “three mores and three lesses”

It is recommended to eat more whole grains, fruits and vegetables, and fungi; eat less high-salt foods, sugary drinks, and red meat. Whole grains and cereals should account for one-third of the staple food in an adult's daily diet; eat one pound of fruit and half a pound of vegetables every day; eat more mushrooms, fungus, and other fungi.

6. Eat until you are 80% full

Too much food, especially high-protein, high-fat food, is difficult to digest, causing abdominal distension and discomfort, raising the position of the diaphragm, restricting the normal contraction and relaxation of the heart, and increasing the burden on the heart.

7. Go to bed early

Lack of sleep increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. It is best to go to bed before 23:00 at night. If you have a lot of things to do the next day, you can get up earlier, but don't stay up late.

8. Take a half-hour nap at noon

If you can rest for 20 to 30 minutes at noon, your heart muscle can be "nourished" and your heart rate can be more stable.
