I didn’t sleep well the night before the physical examination
The quality of sleep the night before a physical examination is crucial to the accuracy of the physical examination results. Poor sleep quality may have an impact on blood pressure, electrocardiogram, blood sugar, liver and kidney function and other test indicators.
1. Affects blood pressure measurement
Lack of sleep can lead to increased blood pressure, especially after staying up late for a long time. Therefore, if you do not get a good rest the night before the physical examination, your blood pressure measurement results may be higher the next day.
2. Interference with electrocardiogram results
Lack of sleep may cause symptoms such as cardiac arrhythmia or palpitation, which will be directly reflected on the electrocardiogram and affect the accurate interpretation of the electrocardiogram.
3. Cause blood sugar fluctuations
Lack of sleep may disrupt the endocrine system and interfere with the normal secretion and utilization of insulin, resulting in abnormal blood sugar levels. This is very important for those who need to accurately measure blood sugar for physical examination. Say, it is a disadvantage.
4. Abnormal liver function indicators
If you do not get enough rest the night before the physical examination, it may cause alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransfer in the liver function test. Enzymes and other indicators are abnormally elevated.
5. Distortion of renal function test results
Lack of sleep may overwork the kidneys and produce a large amount of creatinine, which in turn affects the accuracy of renal function tests.
If you really did not sleep well the night before the physical examination, it is recommended that if conditions permit, you postpone the date of the physical examination to ensure that your body gets sufficient rest. If you must have a physical examination on time due to special circumstances, you can consider using sleep aids such as diazepam, lorazepam or estazolam under the guidance of a doctor to improve sleep quality. However, it should be noted that these drugs should not be used for a long time to avoid dependence. Good sleep quality is one of the key factors to ensure the accuracy of physical examination results.
