The common clinical symptoms of sleep disorders are: difficulty in falling asleep (lying for more than half an hour), easy to wake up after a light sleep, especially loud snoring or accompanied by sleep apnea, frequent nocturia and so on. Long-term insomnia patients may also have chest tightness, palpitation, stiff shoulder and neck, bitter mouth, dry throat, gastrointestinal dysfunction (such as constipation or diarrhea) and other symptoms, while female patients often have edema and menstrual disorder.
2. Who is prone to abnormal work and rest? It is very common for workers who need to work in shifts day and night, such as medical staff/flight attendants and airport staff/supermarket staff/police. Or students who often have to stay up late to study for reports/exams.
It is common to see that many nursing staff have a chaotic schedule due to the alternation of day shift, small night shift and big night shift, so they can't sleep after work and have no spirit at work. In severe cases, symptoms such as menstrual disorder and edema of lower limbs may even occur.
3. From the perspective of Chinese medicine, what is the obesity problem easily caused by abnormal work and rest? How to solve it? According to the viewpoint of Chinese medicine, disorder of work and rest often leads to four major physical problems: phlegm, fire, deficiency and blood stasis, which in turn leads to edema, decreased metabolic function, abnormal appetite, blood circulation disorder and gastrointestinal dysfunction (constipation or diarrhea).
Most people think that losing weight seems to be for diarrhea, but it is not. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that most obese patients are physically deficient in qi. If patients eat laxatives or weight-loss products bought in the market indiscriminately, they may "eat more and lose weight", or lose a little weight after diarrhea, but they will gain weight immediately after stopping taking drugs. These are not the right ways to lose weight, but they are likely to be harmful to your health.
The treatment principle of traditional Chinese medicine is mainly based on syndrome differentiation and treatment, gradually eliminating phlegm-dampness, stomach fire and blood stasis accumulated in patients for many years, waiting for the opportunity to make up for the deficiency of qi and blood.
Such a combination strategy of attack and supplement tailored for patients' individual physique can not only fundamentally reverse patients' "obesity constitution", but also deal with chronic metabolic diseases such as allergy, insomnia/sleep apnea, acid reflux, irregular menstruation, and even hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia and so on. This is what patients have suffered for a long time and can be better controlled and improved.
It is not enough to stay up late on weekdays and get a full sleep on weekends.
