This chapter is for readers, healthcare workers on the front lines, and colleagues in the medical field.

Nowadays, the pace of life is fast, and in the busy and changeable social environment, excessive life pressure, work pressure, and family pressure are like another civilized medicine that affects the health of modern people.

For many of us, fear, anxiety and stress are normal, it is a part of our lives, but when we are in a state of chronic stress for a long time, or when our self-regulation ability is weak, our body will have corresponding diseases, and even increase the risk of death.

Whenever the author sees the express brother shuttling in the city, the takeaway brother, and many construction workers in high-rise buildings, it really makes the author sweat, although the money is more earned, but in fact, it is vaguely planted for the seeds of disease, maybe readers will wonder, express delivery and takeaway, construction workers are in motion, life lies in sports, what diseases can there be.

First of all, let's talk about express delivery, such as the domestic better SF Express, each order must be called, long-term answering the phone will have considerable damage to the ear nerve of the express brother, to a certain age, the light is tinnitus, earache, severe auditory nerve damage, and even hearing loss.

Long-term courier work has a certain impact on the spleen and stomach of the courier brother, the meal time is not fixed, sometimes even not eating, the stomach is very damaged, gastroenteritis and gastric ulcer will slowly appear with the accumulation of time.

Let's talk about the takeaway brother, the speed of battery cars and motorcycles is not low, why? Because the time of takeaway is very tight, overtime will be fined, so the speed of the takeaway brother in the choice of vehicle will not be too low 40 to 80 kilometers per hour, wearing a helmet is a little better, without a helmet, the facial nerve will be greatly stimulated, in the author's consultation, there are not many patients with facial paralysis, the early is good, through electroacupuncture can stimulate the facial nerve, through traditional Chinese medicine and dietary therapy has a good effect, prevent it, let it develop whether it is nutritional nerve fluid or other drug treatment, it is too late. There are not a few people who have forehead pain, migraine, back headache, epileptic pain or even a total headache after being in the wind for a long time.

Finally, about construction workers, as far as I know, the physical work is quite large, and there are no longer a few people who have to eat three bowls at a time, and the working environment is either dry and dusty, or damp and dark. Frozen shoulder, lumbar spondylosis, pneumoconiosis.

The author knows that we do not have such good benefits as in Europe and the United States, there is a career subsidy every month without working, and the cost is not expensive, which requires our people to work harder and diligently, a day without work, a day without income, because earning money is not only self-sufficient, but also for additional expenses for the family, even if some people know that such work will leave a lot of chronic diseases, but without him there is no choice, chronic stress will not only damage immunity, but also make you fat and lead to diabetes. And more and more studies have also confirmed the impact of stress on health, long-term stress may cause insomnia and daytime fatigue, decreased bone density, hypothyroidism, mood disorders, especially depression and anxiety, memory impairment, cardiovascular disorders, gastrointestinal problems, etc.

Studies have pointed out that long-term stress can cause sympathetic nerve excitation and increased catecholamine levels in the body, which can lead to increased blood pressure and heart rate, constriction of blood vessels, and may even cause the rupture of the fat plate blocking the artery, and the coronary blood supply is impaired, thus prompting a heart attack.

The author works in a private hospital, in the emergency department of the hospital often see a lot of sudden cardiac death records, through the family learned that recently their company took a new project, so nearly half a month has been in a busy state, and often stay up late, he is the person in charge of this project, so the pressure is very high, sudden death at home at night, a very young guy, leaving his relatives and leaving like this, but also to everyone sounded the alarm.

Stress has been seen as an uncertain symptom that cannot be detected by traditional tests, but it is no longer so mysterious. At present, in addition to psychological test scales, adrenal function is measured through blood and saliva, and the stress hormone cortisol and anti-stress hormone dehydroepiandrosterone are measured.

As our medical staff, in fact, in the process of diagnosis and treatment, we must also learn to learn psychology, learn to communicate, speech therapy has a certain relief of the patient's pain and pressure, for example, the author personally gave a 66-year-old patient a medical record.

This patient is a sixty-six-year-old woman, but she looks quite young, the spirit of speaking is not bad, I vaguely remember that she is a degenerative change in both knee joints, the first time I don't understand her situation, I use intermediate frequency and moxibustion treatment according to the ordinary treatment method, plus the baking lamp, the patient didn't say anything, look at the facial expression is still a little unhappy, because it is a private hospital, physiotherapy equipment is also limited, many equipment is not, the next day she came again, this time the patient said that her cervical spine is not good, can't sleep at night, after understanding that it is because of family changes caused by some grief in my heart, I used electroacupuncture acupuncture four Shencong and neck three needles plus wind poolThe next day she said that she slept soundly last night, my technique was very good, and said that she wanted to go to the dean to praise me, which surprised me, I have been engaged in this business for many years, I know very well that there are no five acupuncture treatments can not see obvious results, I came to a conclusion, this patient's pain can be treated through spiritual communication, so that the patient can be recognized, her pain will be much better, originally the attending doctor opened a double knee joint, I did the head epilepsy and cervical lumbar spine several times, the patient thinks she got the benefits, this kind of heart benefit is happy, the heart is happy, the pain will disappear, this is a very miraculous thingThere is no scientific basis for this, but it is true. Through this patient, I learned that communicating heart health, communication is an art, and the patient recognizes that a doctor can relieve her pain, so psychological treatment is very important in clinical medicine. Now that it has been adopted and is gradually developing, it is important for general practitioners to not only have professional medical knowledge and skills, but also psychology.

How our body resists stress, when the human body feels stressed, the hypothalamus of the brain secretes adrenocorticotropic hormone-releasing hormone to the anterior pituitary lobe of the hypothalamus, prompting the release of adrenocorticotropic hormone to stimulate the adrenal cortex synthesis and secrete glucocorticoids, mainly cortisol. Cortisol levels fluctuate from day to day, which is caused by the stress response. Cortisol output by the adrenal glands is one of the most reliable indicators of the adrenal glands and one of the best indicators of the body's stress levels. Another very important hormone is the anti-stress hormone dehydroepiandrosterone, which has the ability to balance the body's response to stress and resist the damage of stress hormones.

But when you're in a state of stress for a long time, your cortisol rises at first. DHEA can also fight against cortisol, and slowly both cortisol and DHEA begin to decline, and I am already tired. It's like you can earn 100 yuan a day, and then you need to spend 50 yuan on food and shopping, so you can still save money, but when you spend 120 yuan a day, then slowly you will be in a state of debt, and even overdraft your previous savings. Adrenal cortisol and DHEA play an important role in the body's ability to withstand stress, and an imbalance between cortisol and DHEA can reduce stress tolerance. When you're under chronic stress, your index is elevated, meaning that excess cortisol is weakening the protective effects of DHEA

Stress is an invisible perception of a threat, even if it's not real. If this is true, then we have complete control over the pressure.

Find out the root cause, some environmental toxins can affect our adrenal cortex function, causing our ability to fight stress decrease, magnesium and vitamin B12 deficiency and gluten sensitivity may affect your brain and change your body and mind.

Relax, humans are always thinking about something, and even when we are not working, our minds are working. To learn how to relax and maintain strong psychic power, it is essential to do something light-hearted and not just sit there watching TV or drinking a beer. Whether it's a deep breath or a simple leisurely walk, it can help you relax.

Supplement, take a variety of vitamins and nutrients to help balance the stress response, such as vitamin C, B-complex vitamins including B5 and B6 or pantothenic acid, zinc, and most importantly, magnesium, which can be relaxing.

With thermotherapy, you can use a hot bath or sauna to help with deep relaxation.

Sleep, sleep deprivation increases stress hormones, get enough 8 hours of sleep anyway. If you can't, then be sure to take a nap in the middle of the day.

Exercise, exercise can increase the level of serotonin in the human body, and the human serotonin can play a role in eliminating fatigue and enhancing the body's ability to resist stress.

Our medical staff, especially the medical staff of the tertiary hospital, the emergency department is relatively risky, staying up late is inevitable, many doctors do not like to stay in the emergency department, it is indeed a considerable test for the body, thanks to the long-term medical staff who stick to the front line, exchange their health for the health of more people, this spirit of self-sacrifice is worth learning from the author.

Stress is inevitable, but you can decompress, learn to decompress in addition to work to the greatest extent, you can do physiotherapy, once a week is the most appropriate, playing basketball, can stimulate the heart blood supply, prevent heart disease caused by coronary arteries, whole body exercise, detoxification, studies have shown that people who often play basketball, the probability of suffering from heart disease and cerebral infarction is much smaller than that of ordinary people.

Jogging, aerobic exercise, although most office workers don't have time to run, once a week must stick to it, this is the most suitable.

The diet is mainly high protein and low fat, eat more whole grains, and have a preventive effect on reducing cholesterol and preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as arteriosclerosis.
