Shortness of breath during night sleep

Introduction Sleeping at night often shows chest tightness, shortness of breath and wakefulness, weakness. The deficiency of the lungs, spleen and kidney deficiency is caused by sputum stagnation and blockage of the lungs. Terminology in traditional Chinese medicine: shortness of breath means that breathing is shorter than normal, and it is thick and sturdy. If the qi is awkward, the language is not continuous and the breathing is reluctant.

Cause

The cause of shortness of sleep at night:

There are three reasons for chest tightness and shortness of breath: Physiological factors Women begin to mature from the ovarian and other reproductive systems from adolescence, secreting a large amount of estrogen, promoting menstrual menstruation and forming obvious female characteristics. Chest tightness and shortness of breath are related to the level of sex hormone secretion. The secretion of estrogen in young women is more vigorous, the subcutaneous fat is thicker, and the oxygen consumption of adipose tissue is more than that of muscle tissue. Therefore, young women will cause insufficient oxygen supply in the body, and chest tightness and shortness of breath will occur.

Psychological factors: mainly caused by unpleasant emotions such as depression and uncomfortable mood. Girls tend to be emotionally delicate, and they are prone to sulking and uncomfortable feelings when they encounter dissatisfaction. They often make them feel chest tight and short of breath. According to statistics from psychologists, chest tightness and shortness of breath caused by this cause are the most common. It seems that everything has to be thought of; don't be too horny.

Pathological factors: Myocarditis and autonomic dysfunction in women with common diseases. Among various myocarditis, viral myocarditis is the most common. Women suffering from colds and upper respiratory tract infections are prone to toxic myocarditis. One of the main symptoms of this disease is chest tightness and shortness of breath.

2. Secondary pneumothorax: for the bronchopulmonary disease into the chest cavity to form a pneumothorax. Such as chronic bronchitis, obstructive pulmonary disease caused by pneumoconiosis and bronchial asthma, pulmonary interstitial fibrosis, vesicular emphysema and pulmonary bullae produced by partial occlusion of the airway in cellular and bronchial lung cancer, and suppuration near the pleura Pneumonia, tuberculous cavity of lung abscess, pulmonary fungal disease, congenital pulmonary cyst and so on.

3. Idiopathic pneumothorax: refers to a history of no respiratory disease, but there may be a large alveolar spleen under the pleura. Once the rupture forms a pneumothorax, it is called an idiopathic pneumothorax.

4. Chronic pneumothorax: refers to the chest after 2 months of no full recurrence. The reasons are: a packaged liquid pneumothorax that is difficult to absorb, a pneumothorax that is difficult to heal, a pneumothorax formed by a pleural lacunar bullous sac or a congenital bronchial cyst, and a thicker mechanism of airway obstruction or atrophic lung adhesion to the pneumothorax.
