Ingabe inhliziyo yakho ngezinye izikhathi izwa sengathi iyaphambana? Ingabe kungaba yi-Atrial Fibrillation (AFib)? Ake sixoxe!

Wake wazizwa ngokuzumayo ushintsho olungavamile, olungavamile endleleni inhliziyo yakho eshaya ngayo? Mhlawumbe inhliziyo yakho ishaya nje njengokuhlanya, noma izwa sengathi iyama bese iqala futhi. Nakuba singacabangi kakhulu ngalezi zinto, ngezinye izikhathi zingaba uphawu lwesimo sempilo. Namuhla sizokhuluma ngesimo esisodwa esinjalo, esingahlotshaniswa nesigqi senhliziyo. Leso yi-Atrial Fibrillation, noma i-AFIB ngamafuphi.

Kuyini i-AFIB (Atrial Fibrillation)? Ake sikuqonde kalula.

Kalula nje, i-Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) iyiphethini yokushaya kwenhliziyo okungajwayelekile eqala emakamelweni aphezulu enhliziyo yakho (ebizwa nangokuthi i-atria). Ukuze kube sobala, uhlelo lukagesi lomuntu one-AFib alusebenzi kahle. Esikhundleni sokuthumela izimpawu zikagesi ngendlela ehlelekile, njengoba kufanele, luqala ukuthumela izimpawu eziningi ezahlukene ngesikhathi esisodwa. Cabanga nge-orchestra enkulu, kodwa esikhundleni somqhubi oyinhloko ohola i-orchestra, kunabantu abaningana ohlangothini ngalunye abanikeza imiyalo ngesikhathi esifanayo. Bese abaculi abazi ukuthi balalele bani nokuthi badlale ini. Wonke umculo udidekile futhi awuhambisani ne-tune, akunjalo? Yilokho okwenzeka emakamelweni aphezulu ezinhliziyo zethu nge-AFib. Ngenxa yalokho, amakamelo aphezulu enhliziyo (i-atria) aqala ukushaya ngesigqi esisheshayo nesixakile. Ngenxa yalokho, la makamelo aphezulu awakwazi ukuncipha kahle futhi awakwazi ukupompa igazi liye emakamelweni aphansi (abizwa ngokuthi ama-ventricles). Amakamelo aphansi, asebenza ngezibonakaliso ezivela emakamelweni aphezulu, nawo aqala ukuncipha ngokungajwayelekile. Yingakho uzizwa sengathi inhliziyo yakho ishaya ngokushesha nangokungajwayelekile. Ukushaya kwenhliziyo okuzwayo empeleni kuvela ekuncipheni kwala makamelo aphansi (ama-ventricle). I-atrial fibrillation ingaholela ezinkingeni ezinkulu ezifana nesifo sohlangothi noma ukwehluleka kwenhliziyo. Yingakho kubalulekile ukuqaphela izimpawu zayo futhi ukhulume nodokotela wakho ngezinto eziyingozi zakho.

Ziyini izimpawu ze-AFIB? Bheka ukuthi nawe unazo yini lezi zimpawu

Akuwona wonke umuntu one-AFIB ozoba nezimpawu. Kodwa-ke, kunezimpawu ezithile ezivamile:

• Umuzwa ongavamile njengovemvane olundiza esifubeni sakho, noma inhlanzi elwa. Ngezinye izikhathi inhliziyo yakho ingase ishaye ngokushesha, njengokungathi ishaya esifubeni sakho (lokhu sikubiza ngokuthi 'ukushaya kwenhliziyo ').
• Ukuzizwa ukhathele kakhulu. Ukuzizwa ukhathele kakhulu ukuba ungenza noma yini.
• Ukuzizwa unesizungu noma uzizwa ukhathazekile.
• Ukulahlekelwa ukwazi (i-syncope).
• Ubunzima bokuphefumula (ukuphelelwa umoya). Kuzwakala sengathi uyacinana nje.
• Ubuhlungu besifuba (`i-angina ).

Uma unesinye noma ngaphezulu salezi zimpawu, kungcono ukubona udokotela ukuze akunike iseluleko.

I-AFIB ibaluleke kangakanani?

Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi unezimpawu noma cha, i-AFIB yisimo esibucayi esidinga ukuthathwa ngokungathi sína. Kusho ukuthi isigqi senhliziyo yakho asijwayelekile. Uma inhliziyo yakho ingashayi ngendlela evamile, usengozini enkulu yokuba namahlule egazi ayingozi ngaphakathi kwenhliziyo yakho. Uma la mahlule eya ezithweni ezibalulekile njengobuchopho bakho futhi awavimbele, angabangela izimo ezibucayi njengesifo sohlangothi. Ezinye izinkinga zingavela futhi.

Uma unezimpawu ze-AFIB, bona udokotela wakho ngokushesha.

Kunini lapho kufanele ufune khona iseluleko sezokwelapha ngokushesha?

Kwezinye izimo, kungadingeka uye ekamelweni lezimo eziphuthumayo ngokushesha. Lokhu kufaka phakathi:

• Uma unezinhlungu zesifuba ezinzima .
• Uma kuba nzima kakhulu ukuphefumula .
• Uma ulahlekelwa ingqondo noma uzizwa sengathi ulahlekelwa ingqondo.

Ngezikhathi ezinjengalezi, ungahlali ekhaya, hamba uye esibhedlela ngokushesha.

Yini engabangela i-AFIB?

I-Atrial Fibrillation ibangelwa kakhulu izinguquko ezicutshini kanye nohlelo lukagesi lwenhliziyo yakho. Kunezimbangela eziningana ezingaba khona zalezi zinguquko:

• Ezinye izimo zenhliziyo nemithambo yegazi . Isibonelo, isifo semithambo yegazi yenhliziyo , isifo se-valve, kanye nokwehluleka kwenhliziyo .
• Ezinye izimo zezokwelapha. Izinto ezifana nomfutho wegazi ophakeme, ukukhuluphala ngokweqile, i-hyperthyroidism, isifo sezinso esingamahlalakhona, kanye ne-obstructive sleep apnea .
• Izinhlobo zezakhi zofuzo. Ucwaningo lwamuva nje luthole ukuthi izinhlobo ezithile zezakhi zofuzo zihlotshaniswa ne-AFIB. Yingakho abanye abantu abasha nabo bengakha i-AFIB.
• Ukuhlinzwa kwenhliziyo. Uma uke wahlinzwa inhliziyo ngesinye isizathu, i-AFIB ingaqala ngemva kwalokho kuhlinzwa. I-AFIB ingenzeka futhi ngesikhathi sokululama kokunye ukuhlinzwa okungahlobene nenhliziyo.

Izici Zengozi Ezandisa Ingozi Yokuthuthukisa i-AFIB
