After waiting for more than ten minutes, Zheng Ren didn't show any signs of impatience.
He was very patient, like an experienced hunter, keeping a close eye on his prey. The eyes are focused, bright as stars.
5′23″.
The young patient's snoring took on an imaginary change.
The rhythm of the snoring changes and the duration of respiratory cessation is prolonged. Zheng Ren didn't move, while Su Yun clicked on the timer on his cell phone that he had prepared early.
10 seconds… 20 seconds… 30 seconds… 1 minute…
After holding it for a full minute, the young patient still didn't take a breath.
There is obviously a problem with Zhang Weiyu's narrative. It was not 50 seconds, but one minute before he started breathing.
But this is normal. If you fall asleep in a daze at night, your estimation of time will definitely not be accurate.
As the snoring disappeared, no other sound came from the TV, and it was eerily quiet.
The whole private room was filled with the aroma of mutton soup, but no one paid attention to this. The young man on the TV stopped breathing for such a long time, which touched people's hearts.
One and a half minutes later, the young patient was still not breathing.
Through the low-resolution picture, you could vaguely see that his lips were already bruised.
Zhang Weiyu was a little panicked now.
Hui Hui originally wanted to use video to observe him sleeping, but his blood pressure happened to rise and he died of cerebral hemorrhage.
And I was about to... witness the entire process of a person's death.
For the doctors here, this is a common thing. But for a businessman like Zhang Weiyu, this will become a nightmare in the future.
Another 10 seconds passed, and the young man at the Haoyang store still wasn't breathing.
Some of the bruises on his body had turned into cyanosis.
Director Wei didn't wear glasses and couldn't see clearly. He rubbed his eyes vigorously and changed angles.
"Lao Kong, are you cyanotic?" Director Wei asked in a low voice.
Director Kong watched intently and nodded.
What's going on... Snoring will rarely lead to death from holding one's breath. This is a simple scientific principle.
When hypoxia reaches a certain level, the body will send out a self-protection message and "wake up" itself. And after that, the boy at the Haoyang shop will breathe again on his own.
I understand the truth, but I saw a person snoring loudly one second, and lying there motionless as if dead the next second.
This is also... too weird.
Medical principles and intuitive feelings collide, and many directors have a question in their minds: Could it be that they are dead...
What is said in the book and what is seen in front of you are definitely two completely different concepts.
After another ten seconds, the boy at the Piyang store was already very cyanotic. Director Wei could see it from the low-resolution TV screen without changing the angle.
Zhang Weiyu panicked. He picked up his cell phone and prepared to call the other party.
Don't just watch him die, it will really become a lifelong nightmare.
"Don't move yet." Zheng Ren looked at the TV screen, but also noticed Zhang Weiyu's movements. The boy's hands and feet in the Piyong store twitched, and he immediately stopped Zhang Weiyu.
"..." Zhang Weiyu held the phone in his hand, his palms full of sweat.
The boy at the Haoyang shop's hands and feet were shaking and spasming more and more frequently, as if he was suffering from epilepsy.
After only a few seconds, his body trembled suddenly, and then he took a deep breath and let it out in a snore.
I go…
Everyone looked dumbfounded.
Normally, all of you are old doctors, and everyone knows that breathing cessation during snoring can last up to 2-3 minutes.
But that is a theory in a book after all. For so many years, as long as the person next to me doesn't snore like this, I will never see it with my own eyes.
Even if my lover snores like this, he has already slept in separate rooms. Either he couldn't see it, or he had been pushed awake early in the morning. It was impossible to watch a living person suppressing cyanosis on his own.
It was so scary. Although the old directors were well-informed, their hearts were beating loudly.
A blind deer is pounding in my heart.
Then the boy at the Haoyang shop started to turn over, as if he couldn't find any comfortable position and kept rolling.
The cyanosis on his body gradually receded, but the damage caused by the lack of oxygen during that period of time has permanently affected the body.
The damage may not be big enough once, but cumulatively over time, the damage will be fatal in the end.
And this kind of injury is only caused by snoring, which is very common in daily life. The final manifestation is hypertension, stubborn hypertension.
"Hypoxemia, constant turning over, and restlessness." Su Yundao.
"The body started to sweat, mainly in the upper chest, which is related to the hypercapnia caused by respiratory exertion and apnea after airway obstruction." Zheng Ren also said.
Hypoxemia, hypercapnia, such fatal diagnoses, even Zhang Weiyu knew the situation was serious.
After watching for a few more minutes, I once again experienced a long period of respiratory arrest, but this time it was shorter, less than a minute.
This little guy slept through the night and struggled between life and death countless times.
"Okay, turn it off." Zheng Ren said, "There should be no problem in diagnosing sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome. It has a 45% chance of causing high blood pressure, and antihypertensive drugs have limited effect."
"Have you had a coronary CT done?" Su Yun asked.
Zhang Weiyu shook his head in confusion.
Sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome, this long and complicated name, he worked very hard to remember.
In addition, he was previously worried that the young man from his old shop in Piyang would suffocate himself to death, so he was now in a daze.
"Let's check it out." Zheng Ren said, "The possibility of coronary heart disease caused by hypoxia causing coronary endothelial damage, lipid deposition in the vascular intima, and increased red blood cells and increased blood viscosity is not small."
"Oh." No matter what the reason is, Zhang Weiyu just needs to remember the inspection that Boss Zheng said to do.
"Is the MRI of the kidney still being done?"
"Do it, why not do it?" Su Yun said: "What if it is complicated by pheochromocytoma?"
“…”
Zhang Weiyu was speechless, he couldn't be so unlucky.
In fact, I can't say how unlucky it is, it's just snoring. Who would have thought that it would cause cerebral hemorrhage and stubborn high blood pressure.
"Let him come to me." Director Zhang Lin said, "Polysomnography is probably not available in the county, nor can it be done by tertiary hospitals in prefecture-level cities. Don't bother, come directly to me."
"Okay, okay." Zhang Weiyu responded repeatedly.
Polysomnography is also called sleep electroencephalogram.
Its main uses are in the study of sleep and dreams, and in the diagnosis of depression and sleep apnea syndrome.
It is said that some people are now using polysomnography to study dreams. Zheng Ren can't even understand the connection.
But he didn't expect to understand that Director Zhang Lin would be the best if he could do polysomnography. Otherwise, it would be quite troublesome to diagnose.
