The old man was sleeping but breathing but couldn't be woken up

As people age, their physical fitness will become worse and worse, and over time these problems will become chronic diseases. The elderly generally do not pay much attention to their own symptoms of discomfort, but as children, you must pay more attention to the physical changes of the elderly and be vigilant at all times. Some elderly people occasionally fall into a coma for a long time. Although they are breathing, they cannot be awakened. What should we do in this situation?

The elderly are drowsy because of insufficient blood supply to the cerebral blood vessels, low blood pressure and hypoglycemia, anemia and malnutrition, and cerebellar atrophy. The best hospital to check brain CT, blood pressure, blood sugar, blood lipids, blood routine, electrolytes, liver function, kidney function, urine routine, electrocardiogram, digestive tract, and chest X-ray, and provide symptomatic treatment based on the examination results.

Sleeping too long, like not sleeping enough, can lead to fatigue, lower metabolic rate. Sleeping too long will slow down the heartbeat and reduce the metabolic rate. Muscle tissue will relax over time, and people will become lazy and weak, and even their intelligence will decline. Therefore, people should not sleep too long. 7-8 hours a day and night is enough for adults. If you want to gain health by increasing sleep time, it will be counterproductive, increase diseases and shorten lifespan.

It could also be a cerebral infarction or cerebral hypoxia. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a brain CT scan to rule out cerebrovascular disease. I hope you can pay attention to this. As the elderly get older, their resistance in all aspects decreases, and vascular diseases will come knocking.

Coma is a serious disorder of consciousness, the main characteristics of which are loss of voluntary movement, loss of normal response to external stimuli and the appearance of pathological reflex activities. According to the severity of consciousness disorders, it is clinically divided into four manifestations: drowsiness, confusion, lethargy and coma. Treatment should also be combined with clinical diagnosis

This phenomenon of being difficult to wake up when sleeping may be related to cerebral infarction and Alzheimer's disease, and is related to older age and underlying diseases such as hypertension, and requires active treatment. It is recommended that you go to the neurology department of the hospital for treatment, do a brain CT or MRI to see if there is any cerebral infarction, take oral blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing drugs to clear the blood vessels, and use oxiracetam capsules to improve brain function.
