What? Being angry can poison yourself?

Being angry can actually cause poisoning? Seeing this sentence, I believe many people find it incredible, but it is indeed true. When a person is too angry or sighs excessively, hyperventilation syndrome may occur, leading to respiratory alkalosis. Today, Koko will tell you what is going on.

Under normal circumstances, the body's pH is balanced. Anxiety or emotional excitement will increase the frequency and amplitude of breathing, which will lead to excessive discharge of carbon dioxide from the body, increase the pH value of the blood, and cause alkalosis, which will lead to symptoms such as numbness of the limbs and even convulsions. This is caused by emotional factors affecting the respiratory center, also known as "hysterical convulsions."

Does being angry easily trigger these symptoms?

The answer is: No

There are two main causes of this "respiratory alkalosis". One is underlying lesions . For example, the patient himself suffers from bronchial asthma, emphysema and other related diseases, and the breathing rate is too fast, which easily leads to excessive discharge of carbon dioxide. The other is caused by the mental level . Excessive tension, anxiety and other negative emotions or hysteria lead to faster breathing, resulting in too little carbon dioxide in the body, thus causing symptoms.

How to deal with respiratory alkalosis?

First, do not panic, give the patient adequate breathing space , calm the patient and reduce the breathing rate ; if the symptoms are severe, you can use a mask or face mask to cover the patient's mouth and nose to allow the exhaled carbon dioxide to be reabsorbed into the body to improve the symptoms of alkalosis; if the situation is critical , call 120 immediately to provide professional treatment for the patient. If necessary, the doctor will give oral sedatives or intravenous calcium gluconate.

In daily life

Everyone will inevitably encounter some unpleasant things.

For your own health

I hope everyone can learn to regulate their emotions!
