The symptom of “heatstroke and cholera” is actually a heart disease

  Shopping, grocery shopping and cooking, watching TV …… these very ordinary things for normal people, for the 30-year-old Ms. Chen, almost became a luxury. The reason is that she got a strange disease in the last two years, as long as the ambient temperature is a little high, especially the sultry summer, she will feel dizzy, chest tightness, panic, appear “heatstroke and cholera” symptoms.  The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on a lot of things. The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on a lot of things. The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on a lot of things.  Originally virtuous and capable she now can not even cook in the kitchen, all day at home, Ms. Chen can only watch TV, the Internet to pass the time. To her surprise, even this little pastime has finally become a luxury. If she stays in the room for a long time and hears the heat dissipation sound from the computer, she gets bored and immediately becomes unwell. Although each attack lasts only 10 minutes to half an hour, she is always on edge, worried that these symptoms will come back from time to time.  What made Ms. Chen feel more “deadly” was that once she had trouble breathing because of the stuffy room, and then she often feared that she would “fall asleep and never wake up” and dared not stay at home alone, fearing that she would have chest tightness and difficulty breathing and no one would come to her rescue, thus She couldn’t sleep at night, couldn’t eat and couldn’t eat, and her whole body started to become dead. Her family felt that she was going crazy and was no longer the cheerful and optimistic person she used to be. Ms. Chen was also tormented by such extreme fear that she wanted to “get rid of” herself as soon as possible.  The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who have been in the business for the past two years and have never stopped taking medication and physical therapy, but there is still no sign of improvement.   The deputy director of the Department of Mental Health of Taizhou Hospital, Bao Zuxiao, introduced that they often see patients similar to Ms. Chen in the sweltering summer, and these patients are mostly female, with low education and living in rural areas; their clinical complaints are mainly symptoms of recurrent dizziness, difficulty in breathing, chest tightness, panic, abdominal distension, nausea, general weakness, numbness of limbs, etc.; physical examination often shows no evidence of obvious biological abnormalities; The symptoms can also be improved in a short period of time by taking ten drops of water or patchouli, scraping, or even rubbing some anthropomorphic oil or cool oil on the forehead. This condition is often referred to as “heat stroke and gua sha”. If you exclude fever as the main manifestation of heatstroke hyperthermia, heatstroke exhaustion, heatstroke cramps, sunstroke and other real “heatstroke”, with reference to the diagnostic criteria of psychiatry, a significant number of so-called “heatstroke gua sha” people can be diagnosed as anxiety in neurological disorders The most common of these disorders are acute anxiety disorder (also known as panic disorder or panic disorder). Ms. Chen in this article is an example of this.  These patients often visit the emergency department, neurology, cardiology, respiratory medicine, and Chinese medicine department due to recurrent dizziness, dyspnea, chest tightness, panic attacks, and other physical symptoms, and the recognition rate of internal medicine doctors for this disease is limited, so this kind of disease has become a “strange disease” and “difficult disease The disease has become “strange” and “difficult”.  Bao Zuxiao introduced, panic disorder is an acute anxiety disorder characterized by recurrent significant palpitations, sweating, tremors and other autonomic symptoms, accompanied by a strong sense of imminent death or loss of control, fear of unfortunate consequences of panic attacks. Each attack is sudden and extremely distressing, usually lasting 5-20 minutes and rarely more than an hour, but can soon recur suddenly. Some panic disorders are associated with specific situations or times, such as in an open street, after physical exertion or emotional trauma; others have no obvious trigger.  For the treatment of panic disorder, there are medication and psychotherapy. Medication is a more direct form of treatment to control panic attacks, but the really important treatment is to combine medication with psychotherapy so that anticipatory anxiety and terror avoidance can be eliminated.
