The news of sudden death has really never stopped.
Recently, on August 16, a man in Ningxiang, Hunan, fell off while running in Yutan Park. At that time, 120 medical staff quickly went to the hospital for treatment, but his life was not saved after half an hour of rescue.
Sudden exercise-related death is actually not uncommon.
In fact, whether it is a healthy young person, a sports enthusiast, or a professional athlete, everyone who exercises with high intensity may die suddenly.
However, what is more frightening is that sudden death presents a trend of gradual youthfulness. Compared with other diseases, sudden death is fast and unpredictable.
Who is most likely to die suddenly?
The probability of sudden death is really uncertain, but if these two points are met, I advise you to be careful when exercising.
· For people with family history, if their relatives who are related by blood have died suddenly, then the chance of sudden death will be higher than that of others.
· People suffering from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, such as coronary heart disease, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, congenital coronary artery abnormalities, cerebrovascular accidents, myocarditis, etc., are far more likely to have accidents during exercise than ordinary people.
Of course, no matter who you are, you need to maintain a good intensity when exercising, but don't dare to exercise because you are afraid of sudden death. After all, the benefits of exercise are too much.
A large number of studies have shown that before the phenomenon of sudden death, many patients will have a variety of abnormal symptoms.
Such as chest tightness, angina pectoris, and general weakness. Although these manifestations are not obvious, they are likely to be critical signals sent by the body to remind patients to pay attention to their bodies.
Therefore, patients should strengthen their own care in normal times, pay attention to the following 4 points, so as to reduce the probability of sudden death.
First,Develop good living habits
In normal times, try to develop good living habits as much as possible, quit smoking and drinking in time, maintain a healthy schedule, go to bed early and wake up early, and don't stay up late.
At the same time, in terms of diet, patients should try to focus on low-salt, low-fat, and low-sugar foods to control blood pressure and blood lipid content in the body to avoid the three-high problem.
Second, keep moving
Due to the relatively fast pace of modern society, many patients lack exercise in their daily lives, and their overall physical fitness is relatively poor, so that the functions of various parts of the body will be damaged to varying degrees.
Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen exercise in normal times, insist on outdoor sports, and try to keep the exercise time at more than 30 minutes each time, so as to improve the speed of blood circulation.
However, it should be noted that it is best for patients to choose specific exercises according to their own physical conditions, and it is best not to exercise too vigorously, so as not to increase the burden on the heart.
Three, standardize medication
If you suffer from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, the chance of sudden death will be much higher than that of other people. Long-term medication should be taken strictly in accordance with the doctor's instructions to prevent the blood plaques in the body from getting worse and even rupturing.
In addition, in the process of taking the medicine, the patient should keep in touch with the doctor at all times, and report the situation of the medicine to the doctor in time, and then the doctor will decide whether to change the medicine.
Four, regular physical examination
In addition, you have to go to the hospital for physical examinations on a regular basis, through some detailed examination items to understand whether the blood pressure and blood sugar levels in the body are normal.
At the same time, the heart rate, cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein and other indicators must be checked to detect diseases in time.
In addition, during the period of taking the medicine, you should also go to the hospital for reexamination on a regular basis to monitor the use of the medicine.
In general, in order to avoid sudden death, the above four methods can reduce the risk of illness.
However, due to the rapid onset of sudden death, you must observe your own health in your life. Once you have chest pain, limb weakness, and hemiplegia, you must go to the hospital for treatment immediately.
Although sudden death from exercise may seem silent on the surface, there are actually traces to be found.
Reasonable arrangements for exercise, regular physical examinations, and timely identification of dangers can protect yourself to the greatest extent.
