What is drowsiness? What is drowsiness?

Drowsiness refers to the symptoms of people who are in a state of sleep for a long time and feel sleepy and drowsy even during the day, and drowsiness is a common symptom of a variety of diseases and sub-health conditions.

Too much sleep is not too beneficial to the body, and it is even harmful. In some cases, it is caused by the change of seasons or prolonged exhaustion, and drowsiness also indicates the existence of a certain disease in the human body, as follows:

Diabetic patients have insufficient insulin or reduced insulin sensitivity, the human body can not normally use glucose to replace fat and protein, the patient's body is not enough energy, general fatigue, and drowsiness.

Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases affect the blood circulation of the patient's brain, and the lack of blood supply to the brain causes hypoxia, and the patient has drowsiness, dark shadows in front of his eyes, and even fainting and coma.

Patients with anemia have insufficient red blood cell counts and decreased oxygen-carrying capacity, affecting oxygen supply to the brain.

Alzheimer's disease, also known as Alzheimer's disease, can cause cognitive decline, poor mental state, affect behavioral ability, drowsiness, and coma in the later stage.

Drowsiness is a neurological disorder that causes irrepressible sleep. These sleep stages occur frequently and at inappropriate times, such as when talking, eating, or driving. Although sleep can occur at any time, it most often occurs during phases of inactivity or monotonous, repetitive activity, and when it occurs during periods of activity, there is a risk of occurrence.

Drowsiness usually occurs in the age group of 15-30 years, but there are also people who experience drowsiness earlier or later. Drowsiness is difficult to complete completely**, men and women are affected to the same extent, and once it occurs, it can stay with you for the rest of your life. Drowsiness is difficult to diagnose, and its first symptoms are usually severe daytime drowsiness, which can be caused by many causes, so it usually takes several years to confirm that a patient has the condition.

The ** of narcolepsy ** is divided into opposite cause ** and symptom **. For the cause, we must first distinguish the **, and carry out different ** according to the **. If it is a medical disease, especially a disease of the endocrine system, symptomatic treatment is required**.

For example, hypothyroidism needs to be clarified for endocrine**.

If it is caused by intracranial lesions, it is necessary to clarify **posterior**, and cerebrovascular disease should be targeted at cerebrovascular**. In the case of neoplastic disease, appropriate neurosurgery is required**.

If you have a degenerative disease, such as dementia or Parkinson's, you also need to do so.

If it is a psychological and psychiatric disorder, psychological and pharmacological interventions, such as antidepressants and anxiolytics, may be required.

Symptomatic** Stimulants can be used regardless of the cause of drowsiness, but they must be used under the guidance of a clinician. Drowsiness first depends on how long you sleep every day, and whether it affects your normal life and work. If you just sleep more and your daily life and work have no impact, then you can slowly adjust your biological clock and gradually reduce your sleep time to a normal level.

If it obviously affects normal life, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination, do mental status analysis and sleep electroencephalogram and other specialized examinations to determine the nature of drowsiness, find out the original disease, and then target.

Insufficient blood supply to the brain may lead to drowsiness,** mainly to improve cerebral circulation and increase nutrition for brain cells. Some people with depression also show drowsiness, mainly antidepressants.

There are many causes of drowsiness. If the quality of sleep is not good, people will always be confused, and there are brain problems, and people with cerebral infarction will be drowsy. It is recommended to do a CT to rule it out.

The causes of drowsiness are: 1. There are mental and psychological factors, especially for people who are usually busy with work or stressed, 2. It may also be caused by insufficient blood supply to the brain, 3AA or due to insufficient oxygen supply to the brain.

It is caused by poor spirit and excessive fatigue, such as not sleeping well at night, and drowsiness will definitely occur during the day. 2. Caused by physical diseases, such as colds or other diseases, the spirit will not be very good, and it is easy to cause drowsiness.

Some patients with depression are nervous and always in a state of anxiety, which can also lead to symptoms of daytime sleepiness. Some young and middle-aged people may be in a state of mental inactivity all the time because they are too obese, which is related to health. Some elderly patients have cerebrovascular diseases, which lead to intracranial hypoxia and ischemia.

In this case, the oxygen supply to the entire brain is insufficient, and drowsiness can also occur. It also includes the symptoms of drowsiness caused by professional narcolepsy, which are very serious. Sometimes, during the day, I fell asleep while walking.

If this happens, you should go to the hospital immediately.

Condition analysis: Drowsiness refers to the premise of sufficient sleep at night, and it is easy to be sleepy during the day, and this situation of excessive sleep is narcolepsy.
