Click here for audio
“Since September, I have been unable to get up in the morning and have been absent from school.”
A junior high school student came to the hospital.
The hospital diagnosis was orthostatic hypotension.
Orthostatic hypotension is an autonomic imbalance that occurs in adolescents, and because they cannot control their blood pressure in the morning, when they wake up, they are attacked by headaches, dizziness, nausea, and abdominal pain, making it impossible to get up. increase.
In the old days, it was called laziness because it is so easy to spend the afternoon.
Recently, it feels like it has gained a lot of citizenship, and it has come to be understood by the general public.
In fact, many children develop orthostatic hypotension after September.
“Is September the month when orthostatic hypotension tends to occur?”
There is a reason for this.
In particular, children who are involved in sports club activities have orthostatic hypotension in September.
why is that
Because I pushed myself too hard during the summer vacation
is.
The child who visited the other day was a soccer club.
I heard that he practiced soccer very hard in August and practiced until he was exhausted every day.
“But aren’t club activities like that when you were a student?”
that’s right.
It is very good to work on club activities wholeheartedly.
Looking back on my life, I have rarely worked so hard on something.
Of course, it wasn’t a problem per se.
The problem is that I put too much strain on my heart.
is.
Orthostatic hypotension was referred to as autonomic imbalance.
In more detail, orthostatic hypotension is “cardiac autonomic imbalance.”
For some reason, the heart itself was not working well, so I couldn’t wake up in the morning.
There are three reasons for that.
Reason 1. Growing period
One of the reasons why orthostatic hypotension occurs in adolescence is the “growth period”.
It’s time to grow taller.
It is not uncommon to grow 10 cm in a year.
However, even if the height increases rapidly, organs such as internal organs cannot keep up with the growth.
Although my body has grown, my heart has not grown enough to keep up, and I have to work hard with a small heart, so I end up overworked.
Reason ② Vigorous exercise
As mentioned above, even though the heart is normally under strain, if you do intense exercise during the summer vacation, the heart will be overworked and overworked, and orthostatic hypotension will develop after the summer vacation.
Reason #3 Bad posture
The autonomic nervous system of the heart emerges from the spine.
In addition to bad posture on a daily basis, the combination of reasons 1 and 2 makes the symptoms even stronger.
As I said, growth cannot be stopped and the days gone by cannot be undone.
However, the symptoms that come from the bad posture of reason ③ can be reduced by working on it now.
It’s not too late to start now, so please take action.
good posture
Place the back of your hand on your waist.
Tighten the muscles on both sides of the spine just above the back of the hand and arch the spine. there is).
Only this.
“Is it okay if I don’t puff out my chest?”
Yes, please don’t push yourself.
Pushing your chest out can make things worse.
