Due to the increase in social pressure, high intensity and high workload, and the development of information dissemination, various reports of premature death at an early age have appeared in the press, and are called “death by overwork”. Because the pathogenesis of the disease is very close to the rapid death of heart disease, the idea that “overwork” causes “sudden cardiac death” is also widely circulated.
Animal tests have shown that rats deprived of sleep suffer from various physiological and mental disorders. Similarly, from the point of view of the normal working mechanism of the human body, rest is very important. Long-term high-intensity, overload work, lack of timely recovery and adequate nutritional supplements will lead to rapid cellular aging, resulting in the malfunction of human physical and mental functions. There is no more important organ in the human body than the heart, and once the heart stops working, life also means the end. On the surface, it seems that the heart never stops beating, but in fact, the heart beats more slowly at night than during the day, so the human heart is actually resting. From this point of view, overwork, lack of sleep does have a certain relationship with sudden cardiac death. Some studies have pointed out that people who sleep less than six hours a night are twice as likely to suffer from heart disease as those who sleep a full six hours. In addition, lack of sleep or too late can also lead to disruption of the body’s biological clock, causing a series of changes such as increased heart rate, vasoconstriction, increased blood pressure, increased heart load and myocardial remodeling, which can easily get hypertension, arrhythmia, heart failure, myocardial infarction and stroke and other diseases.
In addition, overworked people are bound to be in a state of chronic stress, when the body will release a large number of catecholamines, causing vasoconstriction, especially cardiac vasoconstriction, resulting in serious heart blood flow disruption, resulting in sudden cardiac arrest.
Therefore, various bases suggest that there may be a link between overwork and sudden cardiac death. That is, the chances of this condition are increased in overworked people, especially those with potentially undetected untreated heart disease themselves. The reasoning is that just as we are prone to errors in thinking and doing things when we are not well rested, the heart is not well rested and will also make errors, only the consequences of such errors are very serious.
In the face of the current working life conditions, who needs to pay attention to it?
People at high risk of death from overwork are
1, overtime workers.
2, many night shifts and irregular working hours.
3, long periods of sleep deprivation.
4, people with high self-expectations and easily stressed.
5, almost no leisure activities and hobbies.
This group of people often have the following characteristics.
1, general belly early appearance.
2, hair loss and early baldness.
3.Decreased sexual performance.
4, memory loss.
5, mental arithmetic ability is getting worse.
6, irritability.
7.Lack of concentration.
8.Sleeping time is getting shorter and shorter, and waking up does not feel comfortable.
9, often headache, tinnitus, dizziness, examination can not find the cause.
Overwork is the body has been in a state of excitement and energy consumption, although it does not necessarily lead to sudden death, and the cause of sudden death is not only overwork, but if the above-mentioned situation, it means that the body has been in the alarm, at this time need to adjust the physical and mental state, the right amount of exercise and adequate sleep are very important. Remind yourself at any time to get up and move, relax, treat your body well and use it wisely, in order to complete more exciting life.
