What is chest tightness and insomnia? You can understand it from different aspects

In daily life, many people have experienced symptoms of chest tightness while sleeping. Generally speaking, if you want to effectively relieve it, you need to find out the cause of chest tightness and insomnia. So, what is causing chest tightness and insomnia?

Reasons for chest tightness and shortness of breath:

Functional chest tightness

It means that if you stay in a room with closed doors and windows and poor air circulation for a long time, or encounter some unpleasant things, or even have a quarrel or dispute with others, or are in a climate with low air pressure, you will often feel chest tightness and fatigue.

Cardiac neurosis

It is a kind of systemic neurosis with various symptoms. The most common subjective symptoms are palpitations, dyspnea, precordial pain and general fatigue. There are also manifestations such as irritability, insomnia, sweating, trembling, dizziness and nightmares.

Causes of Insomnia:

1. Primary insomnia

There is usually no clear cause, or insomnia symptoms remain after excluding possible causes of insomnia. It mainly includes three types: psychophysiological insomnia, idiopathic insomnia and subjective insomnia. The diagnosis of primary insomnia lacks specific indicators and is mainly a diagnosis of exclusion. When the possible causes of insomnia have been ruled out or cured, but insomnia symptoms still remain, it can be considered primary insomnia. Clinically, it is found that the causes of psychophysiological insomnia can be traced back to the impact of a certain or long-term event on the functional stability of the patient's brain limbic system. The imbalance in the stability of the limbic system function eventually leads to the disorder of the brain's sleep function and the occurrence of insomnia.

2. Secondary insomnia

It includes insomnia caused by physical illness, mental disorders, drug abuse, etc., as well as insomnia related to sleep apnea, sleep movement disorders, etc. Insomnia often occurs at the same time as other diseases, and it is sometimes difficult to determine the causal relationship between these diseases and insomnia. Therefore, in recent years, the concept of comorbid insomnia has been proposed to describe insomnia that is accompanied by other diseases.
