Wang Shu is confused, sleepy, and sleepy why is it related to thyroid disease? In the case of Uncle Wang's question, today Xiao Miao to talk to you about sleepy these things ~

A, always sleepy after meals, is it a lack of blood supply to the brain?

Many people in life, like Uncle Wang, when there is always sleepy after meals, it is natural to think that it is caused by the insufficient blood supply to the brain, but this situation is not always due to insufficient blood supply to the brain.

Sleepiness after meals may be caused by three hormones in the body, which are cholecystokinin, insulin, and appetite hormone.

Cholecystokinin in the body will rise significantly within 2 hours after a meal, and once this hormone rises, people will feel obvious drowsiness, which will gradually dissipate after 2 hours.

To allow the body to absorb glucose after a meal, the pancreas will secrete insulin to promote glucose control. In addition to controlling blood sugar, insulin also promotes protein synthesis and increases the amount of tryptophan in the body to form melatonin, which gives rise to drowsiness.

While appetite hormone will be suppressed after meals due to the increase in blood sugar, appetite hormone will make people become particularly sleepy and not want to move when it decreases. Conversely, appetite hormone increases when people will be particularly awake.

Second, always sleepy, first of all, we should exclude the physiological reasons

Often sleep may also be due to some physiological reasons, such as life staying up late, staying up late will lead to the body's endocrine system disorders, and easily make people feel fatigued weak, and drowsiness;

A lot of daily exercises, so that the body consumes a lot of energy. This will cause functional inhibition, and the body to prevent energy is further consumed, which will allow people in a low energy consumption state, the whole person will be particularly fatigued, and drowsiness.

Some people are drowsy due to a large number of physical or mental activities in daily life, caused by a large consumption of energy in the body.

2. Hyperlipidemia

The blood flow in the body of hyperlipidemia patients is relatively slow, and the oxygen-carrying capacity of red blood cells will be reduced under such circumstances, making the brain susceptible to an insufficient oxygen supply, which in turn will make people feel particularly sleepy. In addition, high blood fat will also form plaque in the arteries, which will also lead to a decrease in blood circulation speed, which will make brain ischemia and a lack of oxygen, making people feel particularly sleepy.

3. Hypothyroidism

Patients with hypothyroidism are particularly sleepy due to reduced secretion of thyroid hormones, and may also have swollen limbs and memory loss.

4、Sleep apnea

The most typical symptom of the disorder is that they snore at night, in middle-aged men with bad habits such as obesity and alcoholism. Although these people sleep for a long time, but can not enter into a deep sleep during the day and will be particularly uninspired, tired as well as sleepy.

5, heart problems

Some people suffering from heart disease, daily poor blood circulation, and metabolic waste can not be discharged promptly, especially when lactic acid accumulation in the body, which will lead to nerve endings stimulated so people feel a significant sense of fatigue.

6、Cerebral vascular disease

People suffering from vascular sclerosis, narrowing of the lumen, reduced brain flow, and brain cells are particularly susceptible to ischemia and hypoxia, and symptoms of drowsiness, fatigue, and drowsiness will occur in daily life.

In addition to the above-mentioned diseases, some people suffering from chronic nephritis, diabetes, rhinitis, etc., will also be particularly prone to daily sleepiness.
