The Chinese New Year is coming, and it’s time for family reunion. 7 days long holiday, friends can temporarily put aside work, rest, shopping, travel, and share the joy of family. However, doctors remind you that you need to have a peaceful state of mind for the holidays, to prevent holiday “sadness”. Whenever there is a long holiday, the hospital always encounters many patients who are “happy to be sad”. Most of them are patients with coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction. Coronary heart disease is short for coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, coronary arteries if serious atherosclerosis or spasm, so that the coronary artery narrowing or occlusion, it will lead to myocardial ischemia and hypoxia or infarction. The main clinical manifestations of coronary heart disease are angina pectoris and arrhythmia caused by myocardial ischemia and hypoxia, and in severe cases, myocardial infarction can occur, causing massive myocardial necrosis and life-threatening. In recent years coronary heart disease has clearly shown a younger trend, frequently patronizing young people. Clinical studies tell us that full meals, alcoholism, emotional excitement and early morning, overwork are all triggers of coronary heart disease that we need to pay close attention to. And during long holidays, these factors are seen everywhere, which can multiply the risk factor for cardiovascular patients and potential patients to develop the disease. During long holidays people suddenly relax from the usual state of high psychological and physiological tension, the body’s anti-disease defenses are suddenly relaxed, coupled with the increase in extra socializing on holidays, life becomes irregular, resulting in disruption of work and rest time, disturbing the biological clock in the body, for the middle-aged and elderly with chronic cardiovascular disease, it is very easy to cause the onset of the original disease. During the holiday season, large fish and meat, greasy food, high protein, high fat, high cholesterol food to eat more, will make the blood lipids rise, blood becomes sticky, blood flow is slow, coupled with a full meal, the blood in the body are concentrated in the digestive tract, so that the coronary artery blood supply is relatively reduced and lead to myocardial ischemia and hypoxia, thus triggering angina or myocardial infarction. And eating too much will increase the burden on the heart; eating too much greasy food will aggravate constipation, be extra careful. Excessive excitement and agitation will stimulate the secretion of sympathetic nerve endings and adrenal medulla, resulting in higher blood pressure, faster heart rate and increased myocardial oxygen consumption, which can easily induce heart rhythm disorders, angina pectoris and myocardial infarction, and even cause sudden death. The holiday party, it is inevitable to exchange glasses, goblets, a drunkenness. The heart and other important organs can be burdened by excessive drinking, causing damage to the heart. During the holiday season some people indulge in mahjong for a long time, the Internet, and even overnight, disrupting the normal routine, rest, sleep time significantly reduced. And participate in playing cards, chess and other competitive recreational activities are very likely to cause psychological tension, mood swings, overwork. Continuous combat on the mahjong table, a long period of tension, will make the brain congestion, loss of coordination of blood circulation around the body, resulting in dizziness, blurred vision, memory loss, slow reaction, numbness and other symptoms of the limbs. Patients who usually have hypertension, coronary heart disease, atherosclerosis and other diseases can be induced by the tension in the process of playing stroke, angina pectoris, myocardial infarction. As we enter winter, the temperature drops significantly in the morning and evening. Coronary arteries in the cold stimulation, easy spasm contraction, if the coronary arteries are severely narrowed, the possibility of complications of myocardial infarction increased, so patients with coronary heart disease must pay attention to keep warm, remember to add more clothes in the morning and evening to avoid cold. How to avoid long holidays hurt “heart”, the following give you some advice: 1, the diet should be light, less spicy and other stimulating food, avoid overeating. Do not eat too much. Eat less greasy and high-fat food. Smoking is strictly prohibited, and try to stay away from “second-hand” smoke. Drink alcohol in moderation, so as not to cause excessive load on the organs and the onset of disease. 2, the mind to maintain a calm, avoid great sadness and happiness. Life should be regular, do not watch TV, play computer, play mahjong for a long time. Pay attention to the combination of work and rest. Avoid overexertion, never stay up late. For playing cards, chess and other competitive recreational activities, be sure to control the time can not be long, intensity can not be large, to maintain a good mood state. Patients with coronary heart disease remember to take their medication regularly, do not forget to take their medication routinely because of changes in lifestyle, which can lead to angina or myocardial infarction and other life-threatening consequences, which are very serious. 3, long vacation is a good time to travel, but some patients should not go out. For acute myocardial infarction, unstable angina patients, or patients within three to six months after a stroke; for hypertension unstable blood pressure, especially greater than 180/120mmHg patients are not suitable for travel. Patients with coronary heart disease should be prepared with common medicines and first-aid drugs if they travel to avoid accidents. 4, most elderly people have the habit of getting up early to exercise, in winter, the weather is cold, the elderly should go out in the morning to wear enough clothes, pay attention to keep warm, and before exercise better eat some snacks, drink warm water. Carry with you some first aid drugs, if necessary, you can take nitrate drugs in advance to prevent coronary spasm. 5, keep the bowels open. Constipation, when the bowels to hold their breath to make, so that blood pressure will appear sharp fluctuations, easy to cause cerebral hemorrhage and myocardial infarction during the bowel movement. 6, shopping to the mall during the holidays should not stay long, unventilated environment, dense crowds and noisy surrounding are very likely to induce coronary heart disease, patients who usually have a history of the disease should always carry drugs. Emergency treatment of special accidents: Patients with coronary artery disease such as angina pectoris, absolute bed rest, the environment to maintain quiet, to reduce the oxygen consumption of the myocardium, while sublingual can contain anti-cardiac pain, nitroglycerin and other drugs to dilate coronary vessels. If the symptoms cannot be relieved, call the emergency number and ask the medical personnel to help send to the hospital for treatment. For patients with sudden loss of consciousness and ventricular fibrillation, family members should not easily move the patient, but should immediately call an emergency vehicle, while scrambling to perform external cardiac massage in situ.
