Why sudden death is easy to sleep at night In life, some cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, epilepsy, apnea syndrome, etc., are easy to occur in the night sleep. Diseases susceptible to sudden death during sleep Myocardial infarction and thrombotic stroke are easy to form before dawn. Japan Kanagawa Cancer Center cardiovascular experts believe that: the pre-dawn blood pressure is easy to rise, heart rate increases and plasma catecholamines increase. American medical scientists believe that: at this time the plasma cortisol concentration rises, and coronary blood flow velocity decreases, blood viscosity and platelet coagulation increases, tissue fibrinolytic plasminogen activator decreases. Epilepsy is prone to nocturnal seizures due to the fact that epileptic patients have a part of the cerebral cortex “stagnant pathological excitatory foci”. During the day, the cerebral cortex is in a state of intense activity, in which the “stagnant pathological excitatory foci” are inhibited, not easy to be excited; and at night, the environment is quiet, the vast majority of the cerebral cortex is in a state of inhibition and rest, this part of the “stagnant pathological excitatory foci” can not be disturbed to be excited. This part of the “stagnant pathological excitation foci” can not be interfered with, and spread to the surrounding, when the limb convulsions, spitting foam into the trachea often induced “asphyxiation sudden death”. Some infants and young children, due to the lack of some enzymes in their bodies, often suffer from cerebral hypoxia – dyspnea – cyanosis – sudden death during night sleep. In night sleep, 3-4 times of apnea in 1 hour under normal condition is normal phenomenon, which does not cause danger. There are snoring sleep habits, 1 hour can be more than a dozen times apnea, known as “obstructive apnea”, often due to pulmonary exhalation and gas exchange insufficiency or saliva into the trachea and asphyxiation and sudden death. Some usually do not have the appearance of the disease of young people, strong people, sometimes also suddenly in the night sleep sudden death. In Thailand, more than 200 people have died suddenly in their sleep during 7 years of labor. What is the reason for this? Asian Medical News disclosed the deceased autopsy pathology report that: 64% of the deceased have moderate – severe intra-alveolar hemorrhage, cardiac enlargement, pulmonary edema, visceral hemorrhage, ventricular fibrillation, gastric dilatation; microscopic examination proved that: 40% for hemorrhagic necrotizing pancreatitis. This is related to overeating, smoking and alcoholism, and poor diet. Common causes of sudden death in sleep scientists have pointed out that: the night is prone to sudden death is due to the human adrenocorticotropic hormone secretion at night and cyclic adenosine phosphate secretion more, the body’s defense function is low, so the night more tired; daytime, the human adrenocorticotropic hormone and cyclic adenosine phosphate secretion, so people appear energetic in the daytime, resistance to disease is also strong. Scholars from Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, the Philippines, Malaysia and other Southeast Asian countries with rice as the main food habits of sudden death at night found that: long-term single consumption of rice can be caused by human glucose metabolism disorders, rice in the vitamin B1 content is very small, and vitamin B1 is directly involved in the digestive and nervous system function. Sugar metabolism disorder caused by cardiac insufficiency, cardiac muscle weakness, nerve conduction is affected and caused by slow gastrointestinal peristalsis, digestive secretion of digestive juices to reduce the digestion and absorption disorders caused by malnutrition, coupled with labor intensity of laborers, the body is too fatigued, resulting in sudden death. Sudden death of night sleep protection of the elderly, infants and young children do not live alone, sleep alone. Suffer from epilepsy and sleep snorers, should be living with the same person, vigilant night sleep morbidity into sudden death, snorers pillow should not be too high, side sleep. A single rice-based diet, should be combined with cornmeal, adzuki beans and other grains to supplement the lack of vitamin B1.
