On the other hand, the elderly are insensitive and have atypical symptoms, which are not easy to be detected. When specific symptoms appear, the best treatment opportunity is often delayed.
Therefore, if the elderly want to live a long and healthy life, they should first pay attention to the prevention and treatment of senile diseases, understand the common sense of related diseases, give priority to prevention and treat diseases early.
Below, Healthy Jun introduces six common precursors of senile diseases to the majority of elderly friends. Once the symptoms appear, please seek medical attention immediately to avoid delaying treatment and causing irreversible damage.
Precursors of onset:
Breathing difficulties, suddenly waking up at night, sitting and breathing can be relieved;
Some people show atypical symptoms, such as unexplained lower limb swelling or right upper abdominal pain, sulking and fatigue, which are also precursors of heart failure.
Precursors of onset:
Sudden unexplained burnout, slurred speech, dizziness, headache or nausea and vomiting; Some elderly people have no obvious inducement before stroke, and they are sleepy.
If you have cerebral ischemia in the past, you should be alert to the possibility of stroke within 2-3 years after repeated attacks, especially in the carotid artery system.
In addition, sudden changes in temperament, personality and behavior, intelligence and communication. It should also be considered as a precursor to stroke.
Glaucoma is often the main cause of blindness in the elderly, which should not be underestimated.
Precursors of onset:
Eyeball pain, blurred vision or severe headache with nausea and vomiting; A typical performer can see a red and green halo around the lamp when he looks at it.
Some patients will have impaired vision first, and the peripheral visual field will become smaller and smaller, accompanied by symptoms such as headache, eye swelling and scleral congestion.
Precursors of onset:
The pace of life is obviously slowed down, the activity is obviously reduced compared with before, the waist circumference is obviously increased, and I often feel thirsty, drink more water, urinate frequently, and feel tired and weak.
Precursors of onset:
Memory drops obviously, forgetting things, remembering more and more things, such as seeing acquaintances who can't name them, finding the wrong house, etc.
Emotional apathy, personality and behavior changes or paranoia, timidity and paranoia, or impatience and stubbornness;
The computing power is obviously reduced, the simple addition and subtraction are forgotten, and the language expression has changed inexplicably.
Prostatic hyperplasia is one of the common diseases in male elderly, and the prevalence rate of prostatic hyperplasia in the elderly is 6 1.4%.
Precursors of onset:
Early symptoms are mostly frequent micturition at night, which gradually develops into incomplete micturition, dysuria, intermittent micturition, frequent micturition and urgency, and frequent micturition at night affects sleep.
Due to urinary incontinence, the detrusor of the bladder is compensated. When its function is gradually out of balance and it cannot completely excrete urine, the residual urine volume gradually increases. When urine drops appear, it already belongs to the second clinical stage.
If paying attention to disease signals is to find early senile diseases, then the fundamental thing to prevent diseases is regular physical examination, and the elderly are no exception.
Suggestion: Elderly friends should check the major items related to senile diseases at least once a year, as follows:
1. Blood routine examination;
2. Blood sugar: detect the abnormality of sugar-free metabolism;
3. Measure blood pressure: check for hypertension and cardiovascular diseases;
4.x-ray fluoroscopy: timely detection of lung diseases and cardiac abnormalities;
5. Electrocardiogram: Capture clues of heart and its related valve vascular diseases;
6.b-ultrasound: check the liver, spleen, pancreas, gallbladder, kidney and breast to exclude major organ diseases;
7. Blood lipids: determine whether there is abnormal lipid metabolism and whether there are risk factors for cardiovascular diseases;
8. Weighing: Check whether you are overweight or obese, which is closely related to cardiovascular disease and diabetes;
9. Anal digital diagnosis: senile prostatic hyperplasia, intestinal cancer, intestinal polyps, the early detection rate is high through this examination.
10. detection of urinary microprotein: it is of great significance for early pathological changes of vascular injury diseases, diabetes, nephropathy and hypertensive nephropathy;
1 1. occult blood test: the elderly are high-risk groups suffering from digestive tract ulcers and intestinal cancer, and this test can find and identify related diseases as soon as possible;
12. Fundus and intraocular pressure: The changes of fundus conditions in the elderly can be manifested as early arteriosclerosis, abnormal vision changes in the elderly, glaucoma and other diseases.
In addition to preventing diseases, the health care and health of the elderly are also closely related to their daily life style. As long as we persist in scientific health preservation, we will live younger and younger.
(1) Keep a young mind.
A young mind is a healthy and positive mind.
Birth, aging, illness and death are the objective laws of life, but from the perspective of health care, the elderly must never be afraid of being old psychologically. "Being old but not old" is the first key to health care for the elderly.
Spirit can become matter, spirit is not old, and body is not bad.
Therefore, with a young mind, we can fundamentally eliminate all kinds of negative psychology brought by age and glow with vigor, youthful vitality and young body.
(2) Live a good mood
There is a saying that "anti-aging lies in a good mood", that is to say, living a good mood can prolong life.
Modern research has found that emotions are closely related to visceral functions such as nervous system, digestive system, endocrine system and cardiovascular system, and 70%-80% of senile diseases are caused by unhealthy psychological factors.
Therefore, the elderly should stay away from loneliness, narrowness, stubbornness, jealousy, anger, depression, sadness and other bad emotions, live a good mood and delay the process of aging.
(3) Eat a healthy and long life.
As the saying goes, "Food is the most important thing for people", and diet is an essential material basis for people's growth, development, metabolism and even survival.
The quality of diet nutrition directly affects the health, disease resistance and longevity of the elderly.
Moderate diet and balanced nutrition are necessary and important means to delay aging, health and longevity.
Therefore, elderly friends should master the science of diet, balance the nutritional structure of diet, and eat reasonably in order to eat healthily and live a long life.
(4) Proper exercise can delay aging.
As the saying goes, life lies in exercise.
Exercise is considered to be the most effective and economical way to promote health, not only for fitness, but also for anti-aging.
If we can reasonably promote physical exercise, we can enhance the physiological functions of the body and internal organs, promote health and lay the foundation for longevity; Old people can be healthy and full of vitality if they exercise properly.
