Myocardial infarction is a disease with a high risk of death. Due to the influence of many factors, it often attacks suddenly and people are unprepared. Especially when going out for activities, you may encounter two fatal moments that can easily cause myocardial infarction.
1When you hold in your urine,
everyone has experienced it. When you hold in your urine, your heart beats faster and you feel nervous. This is because a full bladder will make the sympathetic nerve overly excited, and the excitement of the sympathetic nerve will cause a rapid increase in blood pressure.
These conditions will lead to increased myocardial oxygen consumption and increased heart burden. For the "old patients" and the elderly who have cardiovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease, hypertension, etc., they are likely to suffer from angina pectoris, coronary spasm, arrhythmia, and other accidents, which may be serious. There will also be sudden death.
So how can the elderly avoid holding back urine and causing myocardial infarction when going out? It is recommended to do the following 4 things:
Remember to go to the toilet before going out;
Get up slowly after each use of the toilet;
If you have urinary diseases, you must treat them as soon as possible;
In addition, prepare emergency toilet equipment when traveling , such as adult diapers, etc., try not to hold in urine.
2When you are overworked
After excessive physical activity, the heart does not get sufficient rest, and blood pressure and heart rate will increase. Elevated blood pressure will increase the load on the heart, and accelerated heart rate will increase the oxygen consumption of the heart. Under double pressure, it is easy to induce angina pectoris and increase the risk of myocardial infarction and sudden death. So what should be done when a heart attack occurs outside? First, let the patient lie down, try not to move, and call the emergency number as soon as possible.
Secondly, patients should take nitroglycerin as soon as possible. Take one tablet first. If the symptoms are not relieved, take another tablet every 2 minutes. If it is relieved, it will be relieved. If it is not relieved, there is no need to take it repeatedly and seek medical treatment in time. Finally, do not drink a lot of water when a myocardial infarction occurs, because the patient may fall into coma at any time, and drinking too much water may cause vomiting and aspiration.
