Cancer in the body, 'Night' prophet? If there are 4 kinds of discomfort at night, it may be a cancer warning

Many elderly people talk about their problems of waking up early in the middle of the night and insomnia, which affects their quality of life too much, and they don't know what to do? For such a problem, you may think it is normal, but Dr. Kong would like to remind you that some diseases may be warning your body, so you should not be careless.

Share a thing that I experienced 10 years ago: My father often told us 10 years ago that when he was sleeping at night, he would suddenly have pain in his feet and hands, and even twitch, and he would wake up every night. Couldn't sleep well.

Our family members didn't take it seriously and didn't take it seriously, thinking that he must be drinking too much, because he had a habit of drinking at least 3 times a day for many years, and told him to drink less. It was because of my ignorance that my father didn't go to the hospital for an examination in time; he didn't realize that it was time for an examination until he didn't want to drink and couldn't drink, but in the end it was a massive liver cancer in the late stage.

Later, he embarked on the path of medicine, only to find out why his father woke up in pain at night? I regret it!

Since people around me are consulting, I think it is very necessary to talk about it, and I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Middle-aged and elderly people, short sleep time at night, easy to wake up, and dreamy, is it cancer? I believe that everyone will not think too much, only when they can't sleep well, they will be irritable and confused,

I don't even think about whether there is something wrong with my body?

For example, some women around the age of 50 find it difficult to sleep at night: just falling asleep for a while, they will wake up because of a little sound, and can't fall asleep anymore; Continue to sleep; and dream all night, seemingly very awake......

For example, some elderly people have a regular schedule, take a nap during the day, and fall asleep at around 8-9 o’clock at night. If they hear noises at night, they will wake up and cannot fall asleep again; there are also some elderly people who have the habit of drinking tea. 1. The habit of drinking coffee, if you don’t pay attention to these before going to bed, you will wake up easily or can’t fall asleep during sleep. For example, some young people have irregular work and rest, high pressure in life and work, and often have some anxiety. When sleeping at night, they will also wake up in the middle of the night or suffer from insomnia and dreaminess.

In short, a person's sleep time is relatively fixed at 6-8 hours, and it is the best state without waking up in the middle of the night, insomnia, and dreaminess. However, many of us can't do it, and there will be some minor conditions in the body more or less. Although it may not be cancer, it may be some early warning of physical diseases.

1. Persistent pain in the body at night

When the body has persistent pain that cannot be relieved by rest, pay special attention! Pain, especially at night, is exacerbated and cannot be ignored.

Generally, it is more common in metastatic bone pain, which mostly occurs in the spine. For example, lung cancer and prostate cancer are most likely to occur, while the metastasis of thyroid cancer or leukemia is more common in sternum or shoulder pain.

2. Twitching of limbs at night (cramps)

Generally, the body shows weakness, fatigue, loss of appetite, sudden and inexplicable weight loss, and when limbs twitch and cramps frequently at night, it is necessary to consider that it may be an early warning of cancer.

For example, as mentioned above, my father was like this. Because he loves to drink, the liver must decompose and metabolize the alcohol he drank all the time. Of course, not only alcohol, but all harmful substances in the human body, the liver will actively detoxify , Detoxification. If the function declines, it will make some early warning reactions immediately.

In addition to cancer, sudden and frequent limb twitches at night should also pay attention to vascular sclerosis and occlusive diseases of the lower limbs, especially for men who like to smoke.

3. Hot flashes and night sweats when sleeping at night

For many women, when they sleep at night, they often sweat and get hot all over their bodies. They always feel like they are sweating profusely, and they cannot fall asleep at all, especially for women in their 50s and 60s. It generally indicates that you have certain problems in your body, which are mainly related to endocrine disorders. The most common diseases are menopausal syndrome, thyroid cancer, and thyroid diseases (hyperthyroidism, thyroiditis, etc.).

Because at this age, the endocrine is most likely to be disturbed, and the hormone level will fluctuate, which is especially likely to cause the whole person to be weak, so we have to guard against it.

4. Frequent dry cough at night

When you sleep at night, you will frequently have a dry cough, and you must pay more attention to it. Lung diseases, such as the most common ground-glass nodules in the lungs, are early onset and are not easy to detect. The most typical symptoms are Frequent dry cough at night.

Of course, if you have a fever, cold, etc. recently, it is more common to have a cough at night, so we exclude them here.
