Sweating+light breathing will cause this "strange disease"

Wuhan Evening News July 7th The girl suddenly fainted when she danced. After waking up, she was stiff and numb. The doctor analyzed that this was related to her sweating disorders after sweating, and breathing brisk breathing during rehearsal caused respiratory alkali poisoning. In these two situations, it is easy to happen in summer. Doctors remind the public that pay attention to the electrolytes when encountering a lot of sweats in the sky, and at the same time keep their emotions as stable and take a deep breath.

Girl Zhang Xin (a pseudonym) is a student of a college in Wuhan. On the afternoon of July 3, she and her classmates danced to rehearse, and suddenly fainted in the evening. Although she was sober soon, Zhang Xin was stiff and unable to move after waking up, and her hands felt numb. The teacher immediately contacted 120 and rushed her to the Shouyi Hospital of Wuhan Third Hospital.

The inspection shows that Zhang Xin has a low potassium, and the potassium ion content index in normal people's blood should be 3.5mmol/L -5.5mmol/L, while Zhang Xin has only 3.1mmol/L. Symptoms such as arrhythmia. After learning about Zhang Xin's situation, Li Shoupeng, deputy chief physician of her emergency department, judged that on the one hand, Zhang Xin's training environment was very sultry, and he continued to sweat a lot. Replenishing in time leads to hypokalemia; on the other hand, she also encountered respiratory alkali poisoning, that is, the breathing was too fast during rehearsal, and excessive breathing caused excessive carbon dioxide in the body, causing numbness of hands and feet.

Subsequently, Li Shoupeng arranged Zhang Xin to receive potassium supplementation, at the same time took a deep breath with his nose, and adjusted his breathing rhythm. Zhang Xin quickly recovered.

Li Shoupeng introduced that there are more hypokalemiamia in summer. After the temperature rises, potassium ions are excreted with sweat, urine, gastrointestinal tract, and not replenished in time. It is not uncommon for respiratory alkali poisoning. When there are often citizens who quarrel or encounter other circumstances that cause emotional excitement, there is no conscience. Summer sweating in summer and emotions are easy to be anxious. Remind the public to pay attention to supplementing electrolytes in time. Try to be calm as possible in the event of trouble. Don't be too excited. When you feel out of control, you can take a deep breath. (Changjiang Daily reporter Wang Chunlan correspondent Jiang Hongying Chen Shu)
