The 24-year-old died suddenly after exercising! Reminder: these symptoms are not colds, but myocarditis

These keywords

How would you string them together?

Such terrible encounters

also happen to many young people body

What’s going on here?

Listen to my breakdown

What is the relationship between colds and heart disease?

Sudden syncope and even sudden death

mostly related to cardiovascular disease

Today is no exception

Let’s first understand the special muscles of the myocardium

They are distributed in various parts of the heart

determine cardiac pacing and diastolic activity

Such an important body part

Sometimes there is no escape from the disease

When it becomes inflamed

The heart muscle becomes swollen

prevents the heart from working properly

Myocarditis There are two kinds of

One is common myocarditis

1 to 3 weeks before the onset of symptoms, there may be virus infection symptoms

such as Fever, general weakness, muscle aches

(some people don’t even have obvious symptoms)

Most of these symptoms are not directly related to the heart

Therefore, it’s easy to be mistaken for the common cold

corresponding to common myocarditis

fulminant myocarditis

It usually does not have obvious cardiac discomfort before onset

but goes directly to the acute stage

Severe fatigue, palpitations,

chest tightness, headache and other symptoms

serious patients

may also be Syncope

even sudden death

this fulminant myocarditis

although the incidence is only 4%~5%

But 80% mortality rate

Why is it so common among young people?

The pathogenic factors of myocarditis

include infectious and non-infectious types

Although it can occur at all ages

But it has the following characteristics

It makes young adults more likely to be targeted by it

①Do not pay attention Rest

Young people rely on their good physical foundation

often use aA fighting stance of sacrifice

dedicated to study and work

Long-term fatigue will reduce the body’s resistance

In addition to making the heart itself more susceptible to infection by foreign pathogens

The human body may also develop immune diseases

such as lupus erythematosus, etc.

Finally leading to myocarditis

②Immune system overreaction

because young people have a good foundation

immunity is relatively Stronger

may produce abnormal and excessive immune responses

in the process of virus elimination by the immune system

that is Hypersensitivity

this will destroy our body instead

so some sudden fulminant myocarditis

Can cause heart failure, cardiogenic shock

If symptoms occur, seek medical attention in time

If symptoms of suspected viral infection appear

such as upper respiratory tract infection, diarrhea, etc.

and a series of abnormal cardiac symptoms appear within 3 weeks< /p>

as Fatigue, palpitations, chest tightness,

chest pain, dizziness or even syncope

you should be alert to the possibility of myocarditis

Need immediate medical attention

If not treated in time

It may cause repeated episodes of myocarditis

As long as you exercise, you will feel flustered and want to gasp for breath

How can young people protect their hearts?

1. Enhance their physical fitness

Myocarditis loves those young people who feel that they are physically fit

Irregular work and rest, unbalanced diet, no physical exercise

I don’t know My own bad habits

has provided an opportunity for pathogens to invade

so

7~8 hours of sleep a day

Balanced diet and exercise about 3 times a week

are essential

2. Prevention of viral infections

Spring is a high-incidence period of influenza

Respiratory and intestinal infections should be specially prevented

Indoor ventilation should be paid attention to every day

Do not go to crowded places

Pay attention to wearing a mask when going out
