Alarm from "heart" or "lungs"!

🏃‍♂️💨 Why walk a little, it's tired? Sleep, rest, it doesn't heal? Be careful! This may not just be ordinary fatigue, but it may be a warning sign from your "heart" or "lungs." 🫀🫁

Many people overlook "easy fatigue" by thinking that it is caused by hard work, little rest, or an advanced age, but in medicine, if you have "abnormal" levels of fatigue, it can be a whisper from the body that the vital organs that pump blood and exchange oxygen are in trouble!

Today, let's learn how to check for symptoms ourselves and the correct initial response.

🔍 How to check symptoms: What kind is called "unusually easily tired"?

Notice yourself and those around you if there are any red flags?

- Tired of things that should not be tired: Do normal everyday activities such as bathing, dressing, walking up one to two floors of stairs and panting until having to take a break.

- Can't lie down: When you sleep, you feel suffocated, uncomfortable, you have to sit up, or you have to support several high pillows to sleep (this is a classic sign of lung flooding / heart failure).

- Waking up panting in the middle of the night: asleep, but startled, waking up, panting, breathing.

- There are other symptoms: such as tight pain, fractured chest to jaw or left arm, arrhythmic palpitations, swollen legs pressing a dent, chronic cough with sputum, or fainting like a dark face.

🫀 Why is it about "heart disease" or "lung disease"?

- Heart problems: When the heart muscle squeezes or loosens poorly (e.g. angina, heart failure), it will cause insufficient blood to pump to the body and blood to return to the lungs, leaving us exhausted.

- Pulmonary Problems: When the efficiency of oxygen exchange decreases (e.g. cigarette emphysema, asthma, pneumonia, or infectious back lesions), the body will not receive enough oxygen, forcing it to try to breathe faster and stronger until tired.

🏥 Primary care and start coping on their own (in accordance with medical principles)

If you find yourself or someone close to you to be tired unusually easily, do not try to buy your own medicine in the hope of being cured, because the cause may come from the viscera. The correct primary practice is

1. Stop your activity and rest immediately (Rest): Do not force your body to rest in a comfortable place.

2. Breathing posture: If you feel tired, sit down and hang your legs down and lean slightly forward (Tripod position). It will help the expanding thoracic and pulmonary muscles work better.

3. Reduce Acute Stimulus Factors: Avoid Smoke Dust, Absolutely Abstain from Smoking, Abstain from Alcohol, and Try to Chill, Not Panic, Because Stress Will Make the Heart Beat Faster and Tier

4. Note the symptoms: Notice how long you are tired when you do something, whether you have other symptoms, as an important information for your doctor to diagnose accurately.

5. Hurry to see the doctor (Refer): This is the most important step! Heart and lung symptoms need to be diagnosed with medical tools such as EKG, CXR tomography, or blood tests. The chances of returning to normal life are even higher.

💡 good health. Start with self-observation. Don't let fatigue become normal in your daily life.
