Chapter 279 A bad temper may be a disease
Wei Ping immediately listened to her heart rate with a stethoscope.
When I heard this, I felt sick.
Because her heart was beating very fast and chaotically, at least over 200, the heart could not pump blood normally at such a fast rhythm, so both the brain and heart would be deprived of blood, and chest tightness was inevitable. If it got worse, she might fall into a coma.
I also measured my blood pressure, which was normal.
"Doctor Wei, I feel uncomfortable! I feel anxious!" said the female patient.
Then he said, "Xiao Xia, let her do an electrocardiogram!" There was an electrocardiogram in his office.
"Okay! Senior Brother Wei!!"
Then, Xiao Xia performed an electrocardiogram on the woman, which was completed in just a few minutes.
The results were printed out quickly, and when Wei Ping got the report, he took a look.
"It's an arrhythmia, atrial fibrillation. The heart is beating wildly, barely pumping blood. But this atrial fibrillation must be stopped as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous. Go get the amiodarone injection! Quick!"
Amiodarone is an antiarrhythmic drug that can often convert atrial fibrillation to a normal rhythm.
"yes!"
Afterwards, Wei Ping directly prescribed the medicine and asked the interns to get it.
At this time, the woman felt very uncomfortable.
It wasn't until about ten minutes after the medicine was taken that she felt better.
At the same time, he also underwent an ultrasound and had blood drawn for a thyroid function test.
The thyroid function test will take a little longer, but before that, Wei Ping will still prescribe some medicine for her to relieve the symptoms.
But the specific details should be handled by the endocrinology department.
They will be the ones to treat him.
After all, they are more experienced.
Moreover, this disease requires about a year to treat.
However, hospitalization is not always necessary. After discharge, medication should be used under the guidance of a doctor.
The ultrasound report came out soon. Although Wei Ping did not need it, other doctors wanted to see it. As an auxiliary diagnosis, ultrasound actually has a high probability of success, but for the final confirmation, the thyroid function report was still needed.
If the patient is careless, the doctor should take it seriously.
The woman felt like she had escaped death. Finally, she slowly asked, "Doctor Wei, do I really have hyperthyroidism?"
"I'm 80 percent sure."
"Then how did you diagnose it?"
She was a little less angry because her heart rate had just been too fast and almost cost her life.
"First, people with hyperthyroidism have a very poor digestive system and appetite. They also experience frequent nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. You have this, and then I see your hands are shaking badly.
That's because hyperthyroidism usually causes excessive secretion of thyroid hormones, which can easily act on the sympathetic nerves, causing them to become abnormally excited, which can lead to frequent hand tremors and excessive sweating.
Furthermore, patients with hyperthyroidism are prone to temper tantrums, and the patient's mental and nervous system manifestations are very obvious, generally in an over-excited state, among which the patient's symptoms include irritability, irritability, mental tension, distraction, and very unstable emotions.
I think you have a pretty hot temper. Looking at your body shape, you seem to eat a lot and poop a lot, but you can't gain weight. Do you sweat a lot?
Also, you look rather thin, so you must be the type of person who can eat a lot without gaining weight.
Finally, an ultrasound examination showed an enlarged thyroid gland with numerous nodules. This further confirmed my suspicions.
Several interns are remembering it.
Because if they go to see a doctor, they may directly diagnose it as acute gastroenteritis. If they treat it as gastroenteritis, they may end up killing the person.
At this time, everyone admired Wei Ping even more.
Because he observed very carefully.
These are the things they didn't see.
The more Wei Ping spoke, the more certain the woman became that she must have hyperthyroidism.
Because every point hits the mark.
But she still had questions.
"But I had a physical last year and the doctor said it was normal."
Wei Ping added, "That was last year. What happened last year and what's happening this year are two completely different time points. For adults over 35, it's recommended to have a thyroid function test every five years. This is a way to take responsibility for your own life."
The woman then asked, "Then isn't my diarrhea caused by the pickled pepper chicken feet?"
"It can only be said to be a trigger! But no matter what, you must eat a light diet from now on!"
"So, how long does it usually take to cure this disease?"
"Usually, hyperthyroidism requires treatment for about one to two years, but medication must be used under the guidance of a doctor. You'll need to consult an endocrinologist about the specific medication to use."
"Didn't Doctor Wei treat me?"
"You need to be hospitalized for treatment. They are more professional than me. There is a very standard process for the treatment of this disease. Don't worry, it will be the same no matter who treats you."
The woman didn't speak.
"Also, you need to control your temper from now on. It's not just because of this illness, but people with hot tempers put a lot of pressure on their hearts. It also has other significant impacts. When encountering problems, try to stay calm."
"I'm a member of management at a listed company. The people below me are doing such a terrible job that I can't control myself."
"For your life and health, decide for yourself which is more important!"
"How long will it take for me to get the final diagnosis?"
"Maybe another three hours. I've expedited the process. Please arrange for hospitalization first. I'll have my colleagues follow up later."
The woman expressed her gratitude.
"Okay, thank you, Doctor Wei!"
"This is what I should do! If you have any problems in the future, you must go to the hospital and don't buy medicine on your own, because that may delay the treatment. If the treatment is delayed, it may even cause some serious consequences."
"I understand. After this incident, I will definitely go to the hospital if there is any problem."
Finally, Wei Ping returned the medical insurance card to the female patient and said, "Okay, go and register for hospitalization."
"Okay! Thank you!"
The female patient then left.
Wei Ping breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, I checked it carefully. Otherwise, there might be big problems.
He looked at the time and it was already past eight o'clock.
I haven’t eaten yet.
At this time, Xiao Xia said: "Brother Wei, it's nothing, then we'll go first!"
"Okay, remember to read more when you get back. I'll test you again!"
"Yes, Brother Wei!"
As for Wei Ping, he walked out of the hospital. There was no food left in the cafeteria, so he wanted to go out and eat something and then go home.
Just as I walked out of the hospital, I suddenly realized that there seemed to be something very important.
"Oh no, it's past eight o'clock and the class has started! How could I have forgotten?"
Then he hurried home.
This is the course he signed up for some time ago.
I've been busy these days and forgot about it.
