Looking back, I went to practice in various departments in my last year of medical school. When I observed the patients in the waiting room, I found a special phenomenon. It seems that people with the same disease can find something in common in personality. People who are nervous and anxious are particularly prone to stomach problems; People who are upset when they see everything, often frown and show impatient expressions usually have poor kidneys.

For more than 30 years, many experts in Chinese and western medicine have devoted themselves to studying the relationship between personality and disease, among which the most impressive and distressing thing is the high correlation between irritable people and cardiovascular diseases.

Susceptible personality: an American furniture repairman told cardiologist Meyer? Lederman and Ray? Ray rosenman said, "Why does your chair wear out so easily? Other people's chairs in gastroenterology and thoracic surgery are not so easily broken. 」

So two cautious doctors went to observe the patients in their waiting room and found that they were dishonest, especially impatient when sitting in their chairs, and they would unconsciously swing their chairs around. This incident aroused the interest of cardiologists, who began to follow more than 3,000 white men. Eight years later, they came to a conclusion: the probability of cardiovascular disease in people with type A personality is 2.4 times that of non-type A personality!

What are the characteristics of people who are rated as type A by them? Grumpy, stubborn, efficient, competitive, and often hostile to people. When you see him, he is always in a hurry, as if there are thousands of things waiting for him to do; Always anxious and unwilling to wait, this kind of people have a particularly fast pace, but not everyone can keep up with their fast pace, so they often encounter unsatisfactory situations.

Being angry for a lifetime, my heart beats faster and my blood pressure rises. You often worry about blood vessels like this. Unless you are born with excellent physique, heart disease, stroke and cerebrovascular disease may come to you.

In addition to impatience, western medical circles also list depression, anger, hostility and fear as disease-prone personalities, and confirm that these personalities are indeed related to asthma, arthritis, ulcer, headache, coronary artery disease and so on.

Adjusting the disease to a constitution that is not easy to get sick is called "treating the symptoms", and I like to get to the bottom of it and explore the real cause, so as to achieve "permanent cure". I often spend a lot of time chatting with people who come to preventive medicine clinics to find out the "knots" in patients' hearts and the "hurdles" that people can't get through.

If it is a disease caused by personality, as long as the personality is slightly adjusted, most patients will get better and even recover without taking medicine.

Anxious is a good thing, and people who are impatient often work efficiently; It is good to love competition, and people who love competition have better performance in study, sports and work. I won't ask people to get rid of the habit of "anxiety" or "love of competition", but remind my patients that when your "anxiety" and "love of competition" overwhelm your heart and blood vessels, you should correct your mentality.

If "urgency" and "love of competition" are compared to two BMWs, when they are too good at running and are about to get out of control, remember to pull the reins and don't let the runaway wild horses take you to the abyss.

There is no absolute good or bad personality, and many things are relative. Only if a certain personality develops excessively will it affect health. For example, people who are easily nervous and afraid are conservative in style and cautious in character, and are not easy to be deceived, but being too afraid will hinder the operation of the kidneys. People who know how to think can strategize and get closer and closer to their goals, but if they think too much, they will be hurt, and their heads will keep turning, which will also affect their sleep, thus completely hindering the regeneration and repair of body cells.

Hundreds of people have hundreds of personalities, which is why the world is diverse and interesting. From the perspective of preventive medicine, I don't recommend over-correcting any personality, because each personality has its advantages and necessity. I just want everyone to calm down and check if your unique personality makes you sick. If so, it may need a little restraint and modification.

To be a good doctor, through introspection and introspection, while maintaining your unique characteristics, transform your susceptible personality and adjust yourself to a "constitution that is not easy to get sick."
