The 5 most likely causes of myocardial infarction during the Spring Festival! Doctors summarize and share, don't make such mistakes

During the Spring Festival every year, patients with acute myocardial infarction are rescued!

Doctors are also human beings during the Spring Festival. They want to spend the New Year in a relaxed manner, but this is just a good wish. There are patients with myocardial infarction who need emergency treatment almost every Spring Festival. Of course, as patients or their families, they do not want to feel uncomfortable at this time, especially for life-threatening diseases.

Today, I reviewed the medical records of 5 cases of myocardial infarction rescued during the Spring Festival last year. Among them, there was 1 death, 1 case of heart failure, and the prognosis of 3 patients was good.

The causes of myocardial infarction in these five patients almost represent the causes of most myocardial infarctions during the Spring Festival. They are shared today so that everyone can take precautions.

Case 1: Bad luck from taking medicine during Chinese New Year

Mr. Li, 73 years old, has a rule since he was a child that during the Chinese New Year, after the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, he cannot take medicine anymore, and he must do so until the 15th day of the first lunar month. Because if he takes medicine during the Chinese New Year, it means that he has to take medicine all year round, which will bring bad luck and means that the disease cannot be driven away.

So, two weeks after Mr. Li stopped taking the medicine, he suffered a sudden heart attack. It happened to be the Spring Festival, and he didn't want to go to the hospital. He was delayed at home for 10 hours, and he was sent to the hospital but the rescue was unsuccessful.

In fact, many chronic diseases, especially cardiovascular diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease, etc., require medication all year round, regardless of whether the Chinese New Year is celebrated or not. Therefore, if you do not take medication from the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month to the 15th day of the first lunar month, your disease cannot be cured.

On the contrary, whether it is medicine for the treatment of three highs or heart disease, once the medicine is stopped, the risk of blood clots increases and myocardial infarction is likely to occur. Therefore, whether it is the New Year or not, you should take medicine according to the doctor's advice, otherwise it will be really unlucky if a myocardial infarction occurs.

Case 2: Forgetting to monitor blood pressure, blood sugar and heart rate

68-year-old Aunt Sun was so busy during the Spring Festival that she forgot to monitor her blood pressure, blood sugar and heart rate. Her blood pressure was 190mmHG, her heart rate was 98 beats/min, and her blood sugar was 17mmol/L. She had chest pain during the Spring Festival and was sent to the hospital for a confirmed myocardial infarction. Because the infarction area was large, she eventually developed heart failure. She had severe breath holding before the Spring Festival and is now in the hospital for treatment, preparing to be discharged before the Spring Festival.

Increased blood pressure, blood sugar, and heart rate will increase the risk of blood clots and induce myocardial infarction. Therefore, if you have the three highs and cardiovascular disease, you must monitor your blood pressure, blood sugar, and heart rate even during the Chinese New Year. Once a problem is found, deal with it in time to avoid inducing myocardial infarction.

Case 3: Staying up late for 5 consecutive days

Master Luo, 44 ​​years old, had a party with many friends during the Spring Festival. I treated everyone today, you treated everyone tomorrow, and he treated everyone the day after tomorrow. They stayed up late at night for five consecutive days, eating and drinking. As a result, he had a heart attack on the fifth day and had a stent placed.

The risk of sudden cardiac death increases 3-5 times after staying up late. So even during the Chinese New Year, try to keep a regular schedule and avoid staying up late. Even if we traditionally stay up late on New Year's Eve, it's fine after 12 o'clock on New Year's Eve. Don't be too particular. Besides, Master Luo is not staying up late on New Year's Eve, this is pure suffering.

Example 4: Overeating

Mr. Zhou, 41 years old, hadn't been home for several years. He finally returned to his hometown and had hometown food. Faced with a table full of delicious food, he couldn't stop eating and ate too much.

Mr. Zhou already had three highs, and as a result, he ate too much, which reduced the amount of blood returning to the heart and increased the burden on the heart, inducing myocardial ischemia and myocardial infarction.

Now we have no shortage of food, even if we haven't eaten hometown food for several years, we should not eat so much. The reason why hometown food is delicious is that it is a habit we had when we were young, and this kind of eating habit flows in our blood. But on the other hand, the reason why hometown food is delicious is that we can't eat it normally, and there is a thought. If you eat it once and hurt yourself, how can you eat it in the future?

Example 5: Playing Mahjong and smoking continuously without moving

Mr. Deng, 55 years old, likes playing mahjong normally. He finally found a reason to play mahjong blatantly during the Chinese New Year. He played mahjong for three consecutive days. He couldn't stop smoking. For three days, except for eating, drinking, going to the toilet, and sleeping for a while, he hardly moved. He was always playing mahjong and smoking.

If you keep smoking and not exercising, your risk of blood clots will increase. As a result, I had a myocardial infarction while playing mahjong on the third day.

In addition, playing mahjong can easily make people excited. Sometimes they will be happy when they win, and sometimes they will be angry when they lose. Such large fluctuations in emotions can also increase the risk of myocardial infarction.

Happy New Year, everyone is doing well, please share these 5 cases with your family. It is a happy day for family reunion, don’t make such mistakes again!
