What is the cause of hypothermia in the elderly? My grandfather has been feeling bad lately, and my

The common causes of hypothermia in the elderly are: insufficient warmth and cold protection (especially in alpine and poor areas); systemic vasoconstriction caused by excessive alcohol consumption; Taking certain central nervous system depressant drugs that damage the body temperature center, such as sedatives, sleeping pills, antidepressants, etc.; Older people with diseases such as hypothyroidism are also prone to hypothermia.

If the elderly continue to have hypothermia and do not improve after self-regulation, they should go to the hospital for endocrinology examination to determine whether there is hypothyroidism and other diseases.

Because the elderly are older, the blood flow rate will be much slower than when they were young, and the blood ** at the distal ends such as the limbs is relatively poor, which is normal and everyone will have.

But you said that grandpa felt uncomfortable, was it the kind of discomfort caused by low body temperature? Or is it because of insufficient blood**, resulting in myocardial ischemia and uncomfortable? If it is not just a matter of body temperature, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital.

I wish your grandpa a long and healthy life!

Wishing you and your family happiness and well-being!

I used to watch a foreign medical film, when we were young, if it was cold, our hair would shrink, blocking the heat of the body from volatilizing outward, and preventing the invasion of external cold air, but after people reach a certain age, this function will disappear, even if it is cold, you will find through an instrument that the elderly ** is constantly emitting heat outward, there is no way to do it, you don't have to worry, my grandparents will feel colder than ordinary people in winter, I'll help him buy some hand stoves and other things to keep warm, of course, if your grandfather is healthy, you don't have to worry, if he is sick. It's a different story.

Due to the low amount of activity of the elderly, more efforts are made to ensure the "blood circulation" of the elderly in terms of medication and nursing. Dress and keep warm indoors.

The promises made to you are not being fulfilled.

I've long lost hope in adults.

Wouldn't it be nice to ask your family out for a meal and talk about your heart?

Is it rebellion caused by adolescence?

The body is too weak. Lack of qi and blood.

Enhance nutrition. Take some concentrated angelica pills to condition and condition.

Recommended: "The Wisdom of Not Getting Sick" by Ma Yueling, it must be helpful.

It is difficult to say, the metabolic function of the human body is different, and there are many reasons for low temperatures.

If there are mistakes, there is the motivation to keep moving forward, in order to continue to grow, don't care too much about success or failure, scientists are from continuous failure, to success.

Everyone will make mistakes, don't be entangled, you can pay attention next time, too much entanglement will only affect your temperament, and it will have no effect.

Find the reason for what you did wrong, punish yourself for not eating your favorite dish if you are careless, and learn it if you can't.

Although I don't know how old you are, if you can't even bear this little thing, I really don't know what you can do when you go out of society.

Don't get tangled and relax.

Hehe, even if your grandfather hadn't died in the war, he would have been almost ninety years old, not to say anything, but at such an old age, I think your family will be prepared, and it has been so many years I guess it has. Otherwise, why don't you go to your family, don't talk about blood, amnesia and so on.

The probability of finding that one is not much worse than the odds of winning the lottery.

Grandpa went to fight devils, is it potato ribs?

Varicose veins are a stubborn disease, and Pat Chun Tang recommends that you detect them early.

The most common part of varicose veins occurs in the lower limbs, you can wear varicose vein socks for conservative ** in the early stage, usually pay attention to more activities to avoid standing for a long time, do not soak your feet with too hot water, avoid lifting heavy objects, your grandfather's varicose veins are still more serious, if not further aggravated may appear a series of complications, more serious will lead to foot ulcers, if it meets the indications for surgery, it is recommended that surgery has a good effect.

If the varicose veins are severe, you need to go to the hospital to check the varicose veins and the physical condition of the elderly before considering whether to have surgery**.

In the human organism, heat is constantly generated, but also heat is dissipated, thus keeping the body temperature relatively constant. There are three main ways to dissipate heat in the human body: one is to radiate heat to the surroundings (about 60%); the second is the evaporation of sweat to take away heat (about 20%); The third is thermal convection with the surrounding air (about 10%).

In the elderly, due to the decrease in the elasticity of blood vessels, wrinkles, and abnormal blood flow index, the rate of radiation and convection heat dissipation slows down. In addition, the function of the thermoregulatory center of the elderly is also reduced, and the evaporation of sweat is slower than that of ordinary people. This makes the elderly prone to heat stroke and high fever in a hot environment.

Of course, as a symptom, fever is not unique to older people. Fever in older people can be short-term (only a few days or a dozen days) or long-term (days or years). Regardless of whether the fever is short-term or long-term, you should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time.

Short-term fever in the elderly, except for heat stroke, is mostly caused by infection. In the hot season, the elderly are prone to heat stroke in a room with high temperature and poor ventilation, and the body temperature can exceed 40 at this time, and the case fatality rate is very high if they are not sent to the hospital for rescue in time. The most common acute infectious disease in the elderly is pneumonia, at this time, in addition to fever, there can be cough and chest pain and other symptoms, X-ray lung fluoroscopy can make a diagnosis.

Upper respiratory tract infection may also be febrile in older people, at which point the patient may have a cough but chest pain is absent, and x-ray lung fluoroscopy may be unremarkable. Of course, there are many short-term fevers in the elderly, such as acute urinary tract infection, acute cholecystitis, colds and acute dysentery, etc., which should be examined and diagnosed by a doctor in the hospital. I won't go into detail here.

The elderly also have a lot of long-term fever**, so the first thing to know is whether there is tuberculosis, which can be diagnosed by X-ray fluoroscopy of the lungs. In addition, tuberculosis in other parts of the body (such as tuberculous pleurisy and renal tuberculosis) can also cause long-term fever, which requires appropriate tests to confirm the diagnosis. In addition to tuberculosis infection, some general bacterial infections can cause long-term fever, such as subacute bacterial endocarditis, chronic infection of the biliary tract and urinary tract, etc.

Cancer patients are also often accompanied by long-term fever (of course, there are also non-febrile ones), such as lymphoma, leukemia, liver cancer, lung cancer, etc. Therefore, do not think that fever is an infection, and for people with long-term fever, if adequate antibiotics are ineffective and the evidence of tuberculosis is insufficient, the possibility of a tumor should be considered. High fever in the elderly is easy to be taken seriously and go to the hospital, but low-grade fever in the elderly is often ignored.

The so-called low-grade fever generally refers to the body temperature in. Older people respond poorly, and low-grade fever is often not felt. Some older people have a low body temperature (eg, around 36) and may have a fever if their body temperature rises to 37.

For example, young and middle-aged people with pneumonia generally have a body temperature of more than 38, while only half of the elderly suffer from pneumonia and have more than 38. For example, tuberculosis and some malignant tumors mentioned above have only low-grade fever. Therefore, low-grade fever in the elderly should also go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time.

If the fever does not go away after a cold, it means that there is an infection and edema in the body, so it is recommended to go to the hospital as soon as possible for relevant kidney function tests, heart tests and blood pressure monitoring! Regular under the guidance of a doctor**!

The metabolism of the elderly has slowed down, and the body's functions will degenerate accordingly, once you get sick, the time will drag on for a long time, and it is easy to repeat, you must insist on medication, and then you should also pay attention to life, eating habits, etc., usually exercise more, you can delay the deterioration of body functions, promote metabolism, such as playing Tai Chi, practicing pushers, etc., I wish your grandfather a speedy day**!
