Oxygen starvation (hypoxia) in recent times occurs more frequently. Experts associate the development of the disease with various causes.
First, oxygen starvation is definitelyIt occurs in people living in large cities. The appearance of a large number of personal and public transport greatly reduces the content of clean, oxygenated air.
Oxygen starvation is also felt by people who spend working hours mainly in stuffy, unventilated rooms, in numerous offices and shops where air conditioning systems are not available.
Hypoxia can develop as a result of a stressful situation. Neural overstrain disrupts the normal supply of blood with oxygen.
Indirect causes of hypoxia include drinking and smoking.
When signs of the condition are necessaryprovide your body with timely assistance. Lack of oxygen helps reduce cell growth and development. During hypoxia, their death occurs. It should be noted that, first of all, hypoxia affects the condition of the skin.
Many experts consider one of the reasonsdevelopment of cancer pathologies lack of oxygen in the tissue. As a result, toxins accumulate in the body. In case of metabolic disturbances caused by hypoxia, the removal of harmful substances is difficult.
Oxygen starvation. Symptoms
Основными признаками гипоксии являются ощущение constant drowsiness and fatigue throughout the body, developing dull headache, apathy, worsening of mental reactions and memory, anxiety during sleep, decreased activity in sexual terms.
Experts in the field of medicine divide oxygen starvation into four types. Hypoxia can be:
- tissue;
- circulatory;
- natural change in pressure;
- against the background of irregularities in the blood supply system.
Prolonged hypoxia can triggerdevelopment of bronchial asthma. With an insufficient supply of oxygen with blood to the brain, there is a risk of ischemic stroke. Hypoxia can be the result of a shock situation, cardiovascular insufficiency, complete transverse cardiac blockade, asphyxia of different origin and carbon monoxide poisoning. Oxygen starvation of the brain is also a complication of operations on the great vessels and the heart and in the early stages of the postoperative period. At the same time, various mental changes and neurological syndromes can develop. It should be noted that cerebral symptoms prevail, diffuse dysfunction of the central nervous system, microscopic swelling of the brain can be noted.
Prolonged oxygen starvation contributes to the violation of metabolic processes in the body.
With the development of prolonged hypoxia is necessarySeek immediate medical attention. The specialist will be able to identify the exact cause of the condition and, therefore, assign the necessary therapeutic course. As a rule, treatment includes taking medications aimed at improving blood circulation in the brain and the development of immunity.
For prophylactic and therapeutic purposesIt is recommended to exercise regularly in the fresh air, to walk in green areas. An integral part of the measures to improve health is the observance of the daily routine, the intake of full and proper nutrition. In the diet must be present the required amount of fruits and vegetables.
Experts also recommend avoiding stressful situations whenever possible. You should also often ventilate the room, it is desirable to purchase a humidifier or air ionizer.
