As we all know, blood vessels are an important channel for transporting blood and nutrients to various organs and tissues throughout the body, if the blood vessels are blocked for a long time, it will not only lead to problems in the tissues of various organs and tissues throughout the body due to ischemia and hypoxia, but also likely to cause other more serious cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, such as the fatal myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction.
The reason why the blood vessels will be blocked is because of the formation of blood clots, so everyone must be vigilant about blood clots in daily life, if there are the following 4 abnormalities in the body when sleeping, it means that the blood vessels have been blocked by blood clots.
What are the 4 abnormalities when sleeping, indicating that the blood clot has arrived?
1. Frequent unilateral drooling
If you find that you have frequent drooling, and the drooling is still on the same side, you should be vigilant about blood clots.
This is because when the bilateral cortical brainstem ischemia and hypoxia occur due to blood vessel blockage, it leads to sublingual dysfunction, which is why patients often have unilateral drooling. If the blood vessels in the brain are blocked more severely, the patient may also have situations such as the corners of the eyes cannot be completely closed and the corners of the mouth are crooked.
2. Dizziness and headache
If you find that you have symptoms of dizziness and headache, and the symptoms will worsen at night, it means that the blood vessels in the neck or brain have been blocked.
This is because when a blood clot blocks blood vessels in the neck or brain, the brain will be ischemia and hypoxia due to insufficient blood supply, so the patient will have symptoms of dizziness and headache. The reason why symptoms are aggravated at night is because the second peak of blood pressure occurs around 8 pm.
3. Numbness and chills in the limbs
The limbs are not only the end of the whole human body, but also the last station that blood, nutrition and oxygen can reach, so when the blood clot is blocked by the blood vessels, the limbs will also be affected, making the patient's limbs tingling and cold.
Especially in the process of sleep, due to the slowdown of blood flow, the symptoms of numbness and chills in the limbs will be more obvious, and in severe cases, unilateral limb numbness will occur.
4. Suddenly wake up
If you suddenly and inexplicably wake up in the process of sleep, and wake up with symptoms such as panic, palpitations, sweating, and shortness of breath, it means that the coronary arteries are likely to have been blocked.
In addition, once the coronary arteries are blocked, not only will the myocardium be ischemia and hypoxia, but also it is likely to lead to coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction.
The blockage of blood vessels by blood clots can be described as light or heavy, which can lead to various uncomfortable symptoms in patients, and heavy will not only lead to serious cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, but also threaten the lives of patients.
If you want to avoid thrombosis and prevent the occurrence of blood vessel blockage, you must do the following 2 things.
1. Ensure proper exercise
Prolonged lack of exercise can lead to a decrease in the rate of blood circulation and an increase in blood viscosity, which only increases the chance of thrombosis and blood vessel blockage. Therefore, if you want to stay away from blood vessel blockages, you must ensure that there is proper exercise.
2. Strictly control blood pressure levels
If the blood pressure is continuously in a state of too high, it will damage the blood vessel wall, so that lipids are deposited on the blood vessel wall, causing the blood vessels to become narrow, thereby increasing the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Therefore, everyone must strictly control their blood pressure level, and reduce the intake of salt, sugar and oil while taking antihypertensive drugs on time and in quantity.
Through the above reading, I believe that everyone has a certain understanding of what 4 abnormalities patients will have when they sleep when thrombosis is blocked by blood vessels, including frequent unilateral drooling, dizziness and headache, numbness and chills in the limbs, and sudden awakening.
If you find that you have the above abnormalities when you sleep, you must be vigilant about the blockage of blood vessels, and go to the hospital in time for relevant examinations, so as not to cause serious cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases due to aggravation of the disease.
For avoiding and preventing blood vessel blockages, everyone should ensure proper physical activity and strictly control their blood pressure levels.
