Very hungry

Introduction The energy of human physiological activity is directly derived from the blood sugar of the blood. The blood sugar is derived from the nutrients obtained from the digestive organs such as the small intestine. The reason why people are hungry is that the blood sugar level in the blood is reduced, and there is a normal physiological reaction. At this time, food should be added (that is, eating). If the food is not immediately replenished at this time, if it is a little longer, the physiological reaction will promote the decomposition of liver glycogen (from the cell fat decomposition product, which is completed by bile). At this time, people will feel hungry, and they will not be hungry.

Cause

The most direct cause of being hungry is a decrease in blood glucose levels, but there may be many reasons for this.

The first one: there is a problem with the blood. Some people's blood glucose levels have been lower than the normal concentration due to characteristic (genetic) reasons. The result is that they are always hungry. They will not feel comfortable when eating and supporting. People are weak, immunity is not strong, and may often get sick. And no strength. (to do a blood test).

The second type is that the function of the digestive tract is not good. If the digestive organs such as the small intestine and stomach are not working properly, the food cannot be completely converted into the nutrients needed by the body, resulting in a blood sugar concentration that is not high enough. It is easy to be hungry. I was hungry soon after eating. (Go to a stomach check, even the mouth, esophagus, gallbladder, etc.).

The third type: It may be caused by more thyroid hormone secretion, it will be very thin, and the temper is violent (commonly known as hyperthyroidism, it is recommended to go to the hospital to test the thyroid).

The fourth type: According to your hungry, you can't stand it. It is "annoying hungry". It may be that the liver function is abnormal. When the blood sugar level is lowered, the liver can't make a correct physiological reaction to break down the liver glycogen to maintain normal. The activity energy, so continue to consume a small amount of sugar in the blood, causing more and more serious physiological reactions. (Hungry, troubled hungry). [It is recommended to check the function of liver and gallbladder. The effect of gallbladder is also very large. Even if the liver function is normal and the biliary function is abnormal, the fat can not be converted into energy substances normally, which will lead to the same consequences, but people will gain weight and can not eat greasy. s things].

The fifth type: It may be a kidney problem. The nutrients must be filtered by the kidneys. If the kidneys have problems, the nutrients cannot enter the blood circulation normally. As a result, the body has been in a state of nourishment, and the external performance is hungry. (It is recommended to check kidney function, renal tubules and filter, which may lead to diabetes. People will be thin, skin is not good, there is rash, etc., urine color is not normal).

Sixth: There may be a comprehensive performance of several reasons mentioned above. People are very sophisticated instruments, often in the case of relatively small damage, it can be adjusted by its own physiological response to prompt. So when you feel very uncomfortable, your body function has dropped to a greater extent, so sometimes the cause of a disease is often mixed.

Simple self test method:

1. Evaluate your body's obesity. If you are obese, most of them are fourth or sixth.

2. Evaluate your level of physical excitement. If you are excited, most of them are third or sixth.

3, to evaluate their own athletic ability, if you can do very vigorous exercise, the situation of sweating can continue, you can rule out the liver and gallbladder problem.

4, evaluate your own immunity, if the immunity is not strong, it is easy to get sick, mostly the first or sixth.

5. Evaluate the color of urine. If the yellow is thick and thick, it is mostly the fifth or sixth.

6. Excluding other possibilities, most of them are second or sixth.

If the symptoms are not obvious, not very serious, and most of the above symptoms can be ruled out, it may be caused by mild indigestion.

If it is a high-powered manual worker, it is a normal reaction.

If you have only recently had such a problem, then pay attention to the changes in the surrounding area. Including new habits, new instruments, new furniture, and patient contact history, climate, etc.

Differential diagnosis

The diagnosis should be differentiated from the following symptoms:

1. Easy to be hungry: Easy to starve is mainly to exclude the performance of no hyperthyroidism, may have diabetes.

2. Upper abdominal pain during hunger: Upper abdominal pain during starvation is a clinical manifestation of duodenal ulcer. The pain appears in the center of the upper abdomen, just on the umbilicus or just to the right of the midline. Typical duodenal ulcer pain often occurs 2 to 3 hours after a meal (fasting pain) and continues unabated until after eating or taking acid.
