Chest tightness due to lack of sleep?

Sleep is very important for people of any age. Modern urbanites are under great pressure from work, life, and study. Many people often stay up late at night for work and study. Long-term lack of sleep will affect men's physical health, work, and study, and may also cause heart disease. This is why some people experience chest tightness when they lack sleep.

Does lack of sleep cause nausea and chest tightness?

1. Lack of sleep can cause arrhythmia

Many patients with arrhythmia suffer from poor sleep quality. Poor sleep quality includes many aspects, the first of which is lack of sleep. Studies have found that lack of sleep can cause disruption of the body's biological clock, trigger sinus tachycardia or supraventricular tachycardia, and increase the risk of heart failure, myocardial infarction and stroke in patients who already have heart disease.

Arrhythmia can cause symptoms such as nausea, chest tightness, and difficulty breathing. You can also adopt a semi-recumbent position or a 30-degree slope position to reduce the occurrence of arrhythmia.

2. Patients with arrhythmia often suffer from insomnia

In real life, many patients with arrhythmia have the habit of insomnia and poor sleeping. This is because, on the one hand, after suffering from arrhythmia, the patient has a heavy psychological burden, which can easily cause anxiety or depression and lead to insomnia; on the other hand, the occurrence of arrhythmia is closely related to sleep. Poor sleep will aggravate the discomfort of patients with arrhythmia. Frequent attacks of arrhythmia will definitely be harmful to sleep. Therefore, experts point out that patients with arrhythmia should abandon the above-mentioned bad sleeping habits, improve their sleep quality, and pay attention to sleeping on the right side and keeping the body naturally bent, which is conducive to blood return and can reduce the burden on the heart.

3. Other hazards of insufficient sleep

3.1. Accelerated skin aging: Most people have probably experienced sallow skin and puffy eyes after a few nights without sleep. But it turns out that chronic sleep deprivation can lead to dull skin, wrinkles, and dark circles under the eyes. When you don't get enough sleep, your body releases more of the stress hormone cortisol. Excess cortisol breaks down collagen in your skin, the protein that keeps your skin smooth and elastic. Deep sleep can repair skin tissue.

3.2. Affecting judgment: Lack of sleep will affect our understanding of things. Since we cannot accurately evaluate and act wisely, this will affect people's ability to make reasonable judgments on events. Sleep-deprived people seem to be particularly prone to errors in judgement. In this world where the pace of life is getting faster and faster, sleeping less is becoming a symbol of glory.

3.3. Lack of sleep can lead to depression: Over time, lack of sleep and sleep disorders can lead to the development of depression. Insomnia and depression are inextricably linked. According to a 2007 survey of 10,000 people, those who suffer from insomnia are five times more likely to develop depression than those who do not suffer from insomnia. In fact, insomnia is often one of the precursors to depression.
