    There are four main causes of saliva: First, environmental factors. If the elderly live a lonely and monotonous life, the environment is relatively lonely, and the elderly often do not like to move and are prone to drowsiness due to poor physical strength, poor heart function, or osteoarthropathy.

    If, in the process of finding the cause, pathological factors are ruled out, which are caused by environmental factors, we should pay attention to arranging the daily life of the elderly, and pay attention to appropriately engaging in some activities suitable for the characteristics of the elderly, so that the elderly can feel that their lives are full and meaningful, and get rid of loneliness and loneliness. Second, physical factors. Older people are physically weak, especially if they have some systemic diseases, such as hypothyroidism or lung infection, and the early symptoms are often lethargy and lethargy.

    For example, in senile pneumonia, sometimes the main clinical manifestation is lethargy, while other symptoms such as fever and leukocytosis are not obvious. Therefore, family members should pay attention to the situation of the elderly suffering from internal diseases, and should seek medical examination with an internist in time to avoid delays**. Third, the drug factor.

    It mainly refers to the first class of sleeping pills, because some sleeping pills have a long time of action, and if the elderly have chronic renal failure or hypoalbuminemia, they are prone to the after-effect of sleeping pills, and the after-effect is manifested as poor spirit, fatigue and drowsiness after getting up the next day. Therefore, in the examination of the elderly in drowsiness, it is found that the drugs taken and the use of sleeping pills have a certain relationship with drowsiness, so they should be stopped, changed or reduced. Fourth, brain factors.

    When older people develop lethargy, the first consideration should be for brain lesions. Brain inflammation, brain tumor, brain atrophy, cerebral arteriosclerosis, and cerebrovascular diseases can all cause drowsiness. If drowsiness is suspected to be caused by a brain disease, you should go to the hospital for a detailed examination in time for early diagnosis.
