One cold night, LeeGrandfatherI couldn't sleep on the bed, and I couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

I always feel a little stuffy in my chest, and even a little nauseous,The stomach is also inexplicably uncomfortable.

In the end, he couldn't stand it anymore, turned on the light, sat up and covered his stomach, and muttered to himself: "What's going on?"

Is it a bad stomach? Or have you recently gotten older and your health is no longer good? ”

Early the next morning, LeeGrandfatherConsidering that he was old and his body was occasionally not suitable for early examination, he resolutely went to the hospital for examination.

In the hospital, after the doctor completed various examination procedures for him, he was shocked by the results -Liver sclerosis for confirmation.

The doctor looked at his expression and sighed softly: "Lee."GrandfatherHave you been feeling sick lately when you rest at night?

Don't sleep deeply, always in a light sleep? ”

plumGrandfatherFrowning: "How do you know?" ”

"In fact, patients with cirrhosis of the liver, some of the manifestations at night are very typical,Especially when sleeping. ”

The doctor shook his head and said meaningfully, "Most people don't know that there is a close relationship between cirrhosis and resting at night. ”

plumGrandfatherAfter hearing this, his eyes instantly brightened: "Really? So am I also unable to sleep at night because of cirrhosis? ”

The doctor nodded lightly: "There is such a possibility, you must know that patients with liver cirrhosis often have three very representative symptoms when they rest at night.

The first manifestation,That is, if you feel sick stomach and nausea at the moment.

This is because the liver function is impaired, and the toxins in the body cannot be effectively discharged, especially when sleeping, the metabolic function in the body is relatively slowed down, and the toxins accumulate, which is easy to make people feel uncomfortable.”

plumGrandfatherHearing this, he said with a look of understanding: "Oh, I see, no wonder I've always had that uncomfortable experience." ”

"Yes, the second manifestation,It is easy to have abdominal distension and pain when sleeping, especially in the upper right abdomen. ”

The doctor continued, "Cirrhosis causes an enlarged liver or fluid buildup, and when you lie down at night, the pressure in your abdominal cavity increases, which may cause you to feel discomfort and even bloating pain. ”

plumGrandfatherWhen he heard this, he patted his stomach violently: "This is this place!" When I went to bed at night, I always felt that my stomach was swollen, and it was very difficult to turn over, it turned out that there was a liver problem! ”

"That's right," the doctor nodded, "people with cirrhosis tend to have such symptoms.

And finally, the third manifestation, as you may have noticed,It is poor sleep quality and easy to wake up.

Due to liver function problems, the body's metabolism and detoxification work cannot be carried out smoothly, resulting in the body not being able to recover effectively at night, and eventually interfering with sleep quality. ”

plumGrandfatherHis eyes widened in surprise: "I have been sleeping at night for the past few months, and I can't sleep after waking up, and I feel like I haven't had much rest all night." ”

"That's the liver's 'call for help' signal." The doctor smiled slightly, "Actually, like Lee."GrandfatherSo,Many people with cirrhosis face these problems at night.

Therefore, it is important to understand these manifestations to help detect problems early. ”

plumGrandfatherNodding his head, he felt that he had gained a lot: "Then how do I deal with it?" Do I have to do something? ”

The doctor carefully told him: "You need to take the medication prescribed by the doctor on time to control the progression of the disease."

In addition, during nighttime sleep,Attention should be paid to the protection of the liver.

For example, avoid foods that are too greasy or difficult to digest, as this can increase the burden on the liver.

In terms of diet, it is recommended to eat more light, nutrient-rich foods, such as fruits, vegetables and some low-fat protein sources.

Then, try to maintain the quality of work and rest, and try to avoid staying up late. ”

"Well, that doesn't sound difficult." plumGrandfatherSay, "I remembered that you can't eat greasy things at night and you can't sleep too late."

Would it be helpful to drink more water at night? ”

"Yes, it's good to drink water, but not too much either,Especially at night, avoid frequent visits to the toilet to disturb your sleep.

Drinking enough water and maintaining a balance of water in the body can help reduce the burden on the liver. ”

plumGrandfathernodded: "It turns out that cirrhosis really has so many small details, and it is not enough to just take medicine." ”

"Yes, every little bit in your life can affect your health."

The doctor smiled and said, "So, in addition to the medication,Good lifestyle habits are an important guarantee for restoring health. ”

"Then I'll definitely pay attention," LeeGrandfatherpatted his chest, "Sense."Dr. XieI'll go back and correct it! ”

The doctor sent Lee awayGrandfatherI secretly sighed in my heart that there are many patients with liver cirrhosis, but there are not many who understand these pathological manifestations and can consciously adjust them.

Hope LeeGrandfatherBe able to follow the doctor's instructions, gradually adjust the work and rest, and improve the condition.

In fact, what the doctor said was by no means baseless nonsense.

According to the research data, the sleep quality of patients with liver cirrhosis is generally low, and the research data shows that more than half of the patients with liver cirrhosisThere are varying degrees of sleep disturbances.

Many patients often feel abnormalities in the abdomen at night, especially pain and swelling in the liver.

Symptoms such as nausea and loss of appetite also become more pronounced at night.

The appearance of these symptoms is closely related to the decline of liver detoxification, metabolism and other functions.

Use appropriate eating patterns and routines,Patients with cirrhosis not only have the opportunity to alleviate these uncomfortable manifestations, but also can effectively improve their quality of life.

Therefore, everyone must pay more attention to the health of the liver, especially the details before going to bed, to avoid putting unnecessary burden on the liver.
