How to overcome blood sickness

How to overcome blood phobia? This situation is mainly psychological. First, you have to learn to relax. If you want to collect the blood at most, it may be painful for a few seconds. No big deal, you have to have a "not-to-be-shocked" demeanor. Tell you a recipe, drink tomato juice every day, you have a psychological problem, overcome it, get used to it. If you are temporarily unable to control your feelings, you can use a little sedative, such as stable, or calm before the physical examination. Taking one tablet an hour later will have no effect on the physical examination. The effects of lowering blood pressure and slowing heart rate are not a problem.

① Treatment

People who suffer from hemophobia may feel terrified and nauseated at the sight of blood in mild cases, or even lose consciousness in severe cases. These problems may affect the patient's work and life. However, hemophobia is not an incurable disease. The treatment of this disease mainly starts with eliminating fear, and the way to overcome fear is mainly cognitive-behavioral therapy. Psychotherapists usually let patients directly face the feared objects or places, use exposure to eliminate the fear experience, or use systematic desensitization methods (such as repeated and gradual exposure from weak to strong under the guidance of a psychologist) to gradually reduce the sensitivity to the feared objects or situations, so that patients can gradually face the feared objects calmly and overcome their fear.

The more you see or think about blood, the less likely you are to have this phobia, says Alan Maniewicz, a psychiatrist at Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York City. This explains why experienced surgeons are so comfortable with blood. This kind of "systematic exposure" is a common approach to treating specific phobias. Moreover, it saves lives: sick people overcome their fear and are willing to be treated.

Confidence training can also have an objective effect by identifying the root cause of fear. Anti-anxiety drugs, as auxiliary or emergency measures, can effectively prevent or stop the physiological reactions caused by fear, such as blushing, palpitations, sweating, trembling, etc. However, you should follow the doctor's advice and use them less or with caution to avoid dependence.

1. How to rescue someone who is suffering from blood phobia

Hemophobia itself is a type of vasovagal syncope, such as syncope caused by pain, tension, fear, fright and various traumas. Because these factors are common causes of stress. Generally, fainting due to blood is just a temporary loss of consciousness. The person is in a state of light coma, with physiological reflexes still present and vital signs stable, so there is no need to panic.

The patient should be laid flat and moved to a safe place with a suitable temperature. The buttons on the neck should be unbuttoned. If there are dentures, they can be removed. Foreign objects or sputum in the mouth should be cleared promptly. If conditions permit, low-flow oxygen should be administered. The patient should be patted on the shoulder and gently called. The patient will usually wake up naturally within a few minutes. It is recommended not to feed water to the patient to prevent choking and causing unnecessary trouble. Rest for 10 to 15 minutes, and you will generally recover. If necessary, you need to give emergency medication.
