Everyone experiences drowsiness from time to time in one way or another.
However, if you constantly want to sleep and this condition does not go away even if you sleep enough, this is a reason to think.
In an interview with the Life.ru portal, cardiologist Lyudmila Palatkina told what serious pathologies constant drowsiness can indicate.
One of the main causes of sleep disorders is poor sleep hygiene. This includes overeating before bed, watching TV and surfing the Internet several hours before bed, and drinking alcohol.
However, if drowsiness is not related to the above reasons, then the problem may be much more serious.
The doctor warned that constant drowsiness is one of the characteristic symptoms of anemia, which is also accompanied by tachycardia and pale skin.
Other dangerous diseases are also accompanied by drowsiness:
- obstructive sleep apnea;
- hypothyroidism;
- arterial hypotension;
- stroke.
The latter condition is considered the most dangerous, and therefore the doctor urged people to pay attention to its other symptoms, including headache, fatigue, dizziness, and increased blood pressure.
