What are the dangers of “fatigue”?

In April 1987, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) officially named chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) as a syndrome characterized by chronic, persistent or recurrent mental and physical fatigue. The disease is a group of systemic syndromes with chronic extreme fatigue (including physical fatigue and mental fatigue) as the main prominent manifestation under the modern efficient and fast-paced lifestyle. It can be accompanied by dizziness, headache, insomnia, forgetfulness, hypothermia, muscle and joint pain, and various neuropsychiatric symptoms. The basic features are prolonged extreme fatigue, unrelieved after rest, and no organic lesions on physical and chemical examination. The cause of the disease is still unclear. The disease mostly occurs between 20 and 50 years old, and is closely related to the dysfunction of the nervous, endocrine, immune, digestive, circulatory and motor systems caused by long-term overwork (including mental and physical strength), irregular diet and life, mental environmental factors such as work pressure and psychological stress, and stress. With the development of social economy, the incidence of CFS in China is increasing year by year, according to statistics, the number of patients in China, women are about four times more than men. The incidence of CFS has occupational and age-specific features, with white-collar workers, college teachers, and medical and nursing staff being the most prevalent groups. Social stress factors, viral infections, psychological and family genetic factors are the main risk factors for CFS. As a preclinical state of psychosomatic diseases, CFS has seriously affected people’s quality of life. What exactly are the hazards of long-term chronic fatigue to the body? 1, physical fitness hazards: long-term chronic fatigue state, so that the body as a whole muscle strength is insufficient, body coordination decline. As a result, when engaging in or completing certain work that consumes more physical strength and delicate and delicate movements, the patient is deeply overwhelmed. In terms of physical appearance, it can lead to premature aging. It can make the patient’s face look dull, hair loss and hair breakage, wrinkles appear early, facial muscle relaxation; some may also appear facial pigmentation. The signs of aging before aging are obvious. 2, the physiological system harm: long-term chronic fatigue can make the body immune system dysfunction, weakening the body’s ability to resist disease, greatly increasing the chances of developing disease. At the same time, chronic fatigue can affect the normal function of the circulation, nerves, digestion, reproduction and many other systems. Palpitations, unstable blood pressure (high or low), “brain fatigue symptoms” such as: memory loss, lack of concentration, lack of mental clarity, slow reaction, dizziness and headache. It can further affect sleep and lead to insomnia (difficulty falling asleep, or not sleeping deeply, waking up early in the middle, etc.), excessive dreaming, night terrors, etc. In women, menstrual irregularities (early or late, prolonged periods, excessive or excessive bleeding, etc.) and sexual indifference may also occur. For men, most of the symptoms are seminal emission, impotence, premature ejaculation, and decreased libido. If not promptly treated, it is likely to cause infertility or sterility. 3, psychological system hazards: almost every patient with chronic fatigue has different degrees of psychological disorders such as depression, depression and anxiety, excessive tension, irritability and so on. And there have been studies have shown: psychological and social factors leading to mental stress and CFS is particularly close relationship. As emotions are affected, it further leads to impairment of the will as well. This causes most of them to show weak will, indecisiveness, indecisiveness, forethought, lack of confidence, and reduced efficiency. Sometimes, they may lack confidence in themselves and be subject to some bad stimuli, unable to relieve themselves and self-adjustment, resulting in heavy burden, negative inferiority complex, indulgence and loss of control. It can be seen that if chronic fatigue is not intervened and self-regulated in time, it will still be overloaded for a long time and overdraw health, which will become the fuse of many physical and psychological diseases. According to Chinese medicine, the basic pathogenesis is deficiency of qi and blood and the internal growth of evil, involving the dysfunction of the three organs of liver, spleen and kidney. In the treatment of Chinese medicine, emphasis is placed on tonifying qi and blood, regulating qi and balancing yin and yang to achieve the effect of treating both the symptoms and the root cause. Modern pharmacological research also shows that Chinese medicine does have precise pharmacological effects in improving chronic fatigue. For example, Astragalus and Pueraria Mirifica have heart-strengthening and vasodilating effects, and can improve skin blood circulation and nutritional status. Salvia miltiorrhiza activates blood circulation and resolves blood stasis, improves cardiac immunity and anti-tumor effects, and both Xian Ling Spleen and Astragalus have effects on the regulation of the body’s immune function. Acorus calamus has the ability to regulate the central nervous system, endocrine system, improve learning and memory, increase the content of norepinephrine (NA) and dopamine (DA), reduce 5 a hydroxytryptamine and increase the content of protein and nucleic acid in the brain. Emotional disorders caused by social stress factors play an important role in the development of “chronic fatigue”, and according to Chinese medicine, emotional disorders and internal injuries of the seven emotions are also the main causes of the development of the disease. As early as in Suwen? The theory of “Five Sounds – Five Elements – Five Wills” has been put forward in Jin Kui Zhen Shu, and five elements music therapy has been used to prevent and treat emotional and mental diseases at an early stage. “The Five Elements theory of Chinese medicine closely connects the five organs, the five wills and the five sounds, and the five sounds resonate with the five organs. Through the five elements music therapy, it can regulate the function of each organ of the body, make the function of each physiological system of the body tend to be coordinated, and well relieve the patient’s emotional state of tension, anxiety, impatience and irritability. In addition, the five elements of TCM music can be selected according to the different TCM symptoms of chronic fatigue patients, which has the characteristics of personalized and evidence-based treatment, easy to operate and good patient compliance. Based on the comprehensive treatment of traditional Chinese medicine and TCM Five Elements Music, combined with TCM acupuncture and physiotherapy, TCM massage to relieve the symptoms of meridian and muscle fatigue, TCM psychological guidance and TCM dietary and living regimen, most patients can relieve the symptoms of physical and psychological fatigue after one to three courses of treatment.
