Coronary heart disease patients sleep remember not to high pillow. With the growth of age, the physiological curve of the human body becomes straight, and the normal degeneration will indirectly affect the heart function. One third of the human body's time in a day is spent with the pillow, so choosing the right pillow is good for the physiological bending of cervical spine and spine, and it is also of great significance for patients with coronary heart disease.
Aunt Li has suffered from coronary heart disease for many years. After taking medicine under the guidance of the doctor, she has never suffered from angina pectoris. But recently, she often wakes up in the middle of the night due to chest tightness and suffocation, and goes to the hospital for examination. She finds no progress in her condition. Why do you feel unwell? The doctor asked for a long time and found that it was the high pillow that had been changed recently.
In fact, the height of the pillow does not only affect the cervical spine, sleep, it is also closely related to the health of the heart. Pillow is too high, after sleeping lead to neck bending, poor breathing, cause myocardial ischemia and hypoxia, thus inducing angina pectoris.
With the growth of age, the physiological curve of the human body becomes straight, and the normal degeneration will indirectly affect the heart function. One third of the human body's time in a day is spent with the pillow, so choosing the right pillow is good for the physiological bending of cervical spine and spine, and it is also of great significance for patients with coronary heart disease.
When choosing a pillow of suitable height, it can be calculated according to the following formula: pillow height = (shoulder width head width) / 2. Generally speaking, the height of a pillow should be 10-15cm. In ancient Chinese medical books, there has been a statement that "the size of the pillow should be high and low, so that the pillow can lie on the side and shoulder level, that is, the pillow can feel comfortable when lying on the back". In addition, the hardness of the pillow should be moderate, as long as the length is a little wider than the shoulder, choose the pillow with better elasticity and permeability as far as possible.
Some patients with coronary heart disease always feel suffocated due to low pillow at night. They need to lie in a high pillow position. They wake up suddenly during deep sleep or nightmares. They feel palpitations, chest tightness and poor breathing. They need to sit up before they get better. At this time, it may be the manifestation of heart failure and need to see a doctor in time.
