“Spring fatigue”? It may well be your body’s distress signal to you!

As the saying goes, “spring is tired and autumn is tired”. Entering the spring, some people always feel listless and tired. Experts remind you: Sometimes when you are sleepy, your body may be sending out a “SOS signal”.

Experts say that spring sleepiness is a physiological phenomenon in which the human body adjusts itself with the changes of seasons and temperature. Sometimes it is indeed caused by reasons such as poor rest, but it may also be related to cardiovascular diseases.

Zhang Daimin, director of the Department of Cardiology, Shaw Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University, reminded: “For example, if you have high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, diabetes, etc. Yes, in the spring, these cardiovascular diseases will also lead to poor blood supply to the brain, which will cause the symptoms of spring fatigue. If you have enough sleep and your mental state is not particularly abnormal, if you have frequent spring sleepiness, you should go to the hospital. Do some related examinations.”

In addition, bad habits such as staying up late and drinking alcohol for a long time can also easily lead to cardiovascular diseases.

Zhang Daimin said: “This is precisely a reaction to the state of excessive cardiovascular stress, and I come to see a doctor at this time of year. Yes, because of the phenomenon of spring sleepiness or some physical reactions, the number of people with high risk factors has increased accordingly!”

If you always feel sleepy in spring, it is recommended that you first check whether it is because you often stay up late. , lack of sleep, excessive fatigue, etc. If these reasons are ruled out and you still get sleepy frequently, I hope you pay enough attention and seek medical attention in time.
