1, "pseudo" hypertension
Children who have been given needles and medicines often have some shadows on the "white coat". Many people will feel nervous when they go to the hospital when they grow up. This phenomenon will cause a special "disease"-"white coat hypertension".
Clinically, refractory hypertension above 1/3 is "white coat hypertension". When these "patients" measure their blood pressure in the clinic, their blood pressure will rise, but if they do self-test or ambulatory blood pressure monitoring at home, the results are often normal. This is related to the nervousness caused by the hospital outpatient service.
If the method of measuring blood pressure is wrong, there may also be "fake" hypertension. The common mistake is not sitting quietly for 5-20 minutes before measuring blood pressure, and people with thick upper arms do not use large cuffs, which may lead to a "false" increase in blood pressure.
2. "Fake" heart disease
Some premature beats are completely asymptomatic and can only be found during physical examination and electrocardiogram. The number of premature beats has nothing to do with the strength of feelings. Some people have no discomfort after tens of thousands of premature beats, while others have only dozens of premature beats, but they can obviously feel palpitations and cardiac arrest.
The incidence of premature beats is very high. In addition to people with bad hearts, normal people may also be nervous, smoke, drink too much alcohol, drink strong coffee and tea, and suffer from insomnia.
If premature beats are detected through physical examination, patients do not feel anything, and the number of premature beats is not much (hundreds to thousands), which does not affect daily life and most of them do not need treatment.
If the symptoms of premature beats are obvious, the dynamic electrocardiogram shows that there are more than 10000 beats every 24 hours, which seriously affects daily life and will affect the heart structure for a long time. It should be treated under the guidance of a doctor.
3. "False" thyroid diseases
"Thyroid nodule" has become a frequent visitor in the physical examination report. According to the investigation of Endocrinology Branch of Chinese Medical Association, nearly 1 person in every 5 people has thyroid nodules, and the prevalence rate has increased from 10.2% to 18.6%.
Seeing "nodules", some people will wonder if they have a tumor. In fact, 85%~95% of thyroid nodules are benign, and neither medication nor surgery is needed.
To detect patients with thyroid nodules, what needs to be done is to pay attention to rest, avoid fatigue, do thyroid ultrasound examination regularly, and be alert to the increase of variation. Once you find anything unusual, you should seek medical advice in time.
4. "False" osteoarthrosis
Bone hyperplasia, commonly known as "bone spur", is the performance of the body bearing the joint. Some hyperosteogeny is a self-protection reaction of human joints and spine in order to adapt to the changes of external forces.
In fact, you don't have to be afraid to see hyperosteogeny. It's not necessarily a disease. If there is no pain, joint swelling, motor dysfunction and other clinical symptoms (such as limbs can not be straightened, bent, etc.). ), generally do not need treatment; Instead, you should go to the hospital for treatment.
It should be reminded that the elderly should pay attention to the maintenance of joints and bones to avoid excessive development of hyperosteogeny. It is recommended not to carry too much weight and exercise moderately. Once dyskinesia occurs, it should be treated in time.
The disease of "excessive fear"
In addition to these "fake" diseases, there are still some diseases, which are actually not as terrible as everyone thinks.
prostatitis
In patients with chronic prostatitis, infection causes less than 10%, and most of the reasons are not clear.
If there are no obvious symptoms such as frequent micturition, urgency and dysuria, patients with prostatitis can be relieved by avoiding sedentary, exercising more and putting an end to spicy diet. However, you should pay attention to regular physical examination. If you find obvious abnormalities or serious symptoms, you must see a doctor in time.
Sudden deafness
Sudden deafness, referred to as "sudden deafness", refers to sudden sensorineural hearing loss, which can occur within minutes, hours or 3 days, and the reason is unknown.
Although sudden deafness has an urgent onset and rapid progress, early treatment is better. If treated as early as possible within 7~ 10 days after onset, most patients' hearing can be restored to the pre-onset level or significantly improved, and there is little recurrence. However, people, children and the elderly with a course of more than one month have poor hearing recovery after sudden deafness.
Finally, remind everyone that whether the condition is serious or not requires professional doctors to judge. If you suspect that you have health problems, the best way is to ask a doctor for verification.
If you find that your illness is a "fake" disease, you may not need treatment, but you need to pay attention to developing a healthy lifestyle and paying attention to observation. Once the symptoms suddenly worsen, we should pay attention to them as soon as possible.
