As people age, their body functions are far inferior to those of young people, and various diseases begin to recur. Especially in spring, when the weather changes from cold to warm, it is easy to be induced by rhinitis. (The picture comes from the Internet, please contact us to delete if there is any infringement) Qingbitang: Why are the elderly more susceptible to rhinitis? 1. Physical reasons Due to the influence of age and physiological changes, the elderly have slow metabolism, hardening of blood vessels, decreased function of nasal cilia, etc. Therefore, they are more susceptible to external allergens and viruses, causing rhinitis attacks! 2. Environmental reasons One of the hobbies of the elderly is to visit parks. In spring, there are a lot of pollen and allergens in the air. Therefore, if the elderly often visit parks, they are likely to be exposed to allergens and develop allergic rhinitis! 3. Suffering from asthma Asthma and rhinitis are "two diseases from the same mother"! Many elderly people suffer from allergic rhinitis due to asthma. Therefore, elderly people with asthma should take special precautions against rhinitis attacks! 4. Medication reasons Many people are allergic to drugs. Common drug allergies include sulfonamides, quinine, antibiotics, etc. The elderly may have various chronic diseases and take medicine all year round. If they are allergic to the above drugs, it is easy to induce rhinitis! (The picture comes from the Internet, please contact us to delete if there is any infringement) Qingbi Tang: Why is rhinitis the root of all diseases among the elderly? 1. Brain disease Elderly people suffering from rhinitis will often have nasal congestion, which leads to difficulty breathing and thus brain hypoxia, aggravating the symptoms of brain atrophy and cerebral thrombosis in the elderly. 2. Cardiovascular disease When rhinitis attacks, the nasal cavity will be clogged with a large amount of sticky purulent fluid. When sleeping, it is easy to cause the body to hold its breath, leading to sudden cerebral hemorrhage, heart disease, and even sudden death in the elderly! 3. Eye diseases The fundus of the elderly is more fragile and more easily infected by nasal inflammation, which can cause blurred vision, decreased vision, aggravated symptoms of glaucoma and cataracts, and even cause vision loss! 4. Ear diseases The functions of the organs of the elderly are degenerating, and their immunity to inflammation is reduced. If rhinitis is not cured for a long time, it can easily cause nasal inflammation to invade the ears, causing tinnitus, stuffy ears, and deafness! 5. Alzheimer’s disease and sleep apnea The typical symptom of rhinitis is nasal congestion, which leads to poor breathing and insufficient oxygen supply to the brain, causing memory loss and the risk of inducing Alzheimer's disease. At the same time, due to the degeneration of the respiratory system function of the elderly, coupled with nasal inflammation, it is easy to cause sleep apnea syndrome and the possibility of sudden death at night!

If rhinitis is not cured for a long time, it will induce many cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and even induce sudden death at night. Therefore, you must go to Qingbi Hall in time for rhinitis and solve it scientifically! |
