office syndrome

Introduction

Office Syndrome Introduction The office is often sedentary, the head is in the front flexion position, and the blood vessels in the neck are compressed. Especially after the vertebral artery is compressed, ischemia, hypoxia or sympathetic nerves on the arterial wall cause vasospasm, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the brain. , headache, dizziness, tinnitus, hearing loss or memory loss, and due to a large number of sympathetic ganglia around the vertebral artery fibers can appear palpitation, palpitations, heart rhythm disorders, gastrointestinal dysfunction, etc., this is cervical vertigo also called vertebra The typical symptoms of arterial compression syndrome are also the most common syndromes in office occupational diseases. basic knowledge The proportion of illness: 0.001% Susceptible people: no specific people Mode of infection: non-infectious Complications: neurological headache, tinnitus, cervical spondylosis

Cause

Office syndrome cause

Air pollution in the office is the main cause of intrinsic

Smoking (30%):

One of the pollution comes from smoking. According to the researchers' special tests, in a closed room of 10 square meters, if 4 people smoke 10 cigarettes per person per day, the indoor carbon dioxide content will greatly exceed the prescribed standards. If the carbon dioxide content reaches 5%, it will make people suffocate; more than 5.5% may be fatal. Sewage

Ionizing radiation (30%):

Dye 2 comes from modern office equipment. Copiers, printers, fax machines, video recorders, and computers in the office can cause indoor air pollution and lack of negative ions. For example, a wet copier can emit hydrocarbons that cause fatigue and skin pain; dry copiers emit ozone, which can irritate the eyes and the respiratory system. For example, the positive ions released from the computer screen interfere with the metabolism of the operator's body and reduce its resistance to disease. The positive ions, like magnets, attract negative ions in the indoor air, so that all the staff do not work. To a normal ionization environment.

Air pollution (20%):

The third pollution comes from the interior decoration materials and furnishings. Some decorative materials that do not meet the requirements of green environmental protection often emit harmful volatile gases including halogenated hydrocarbon compounds, aromatic hydrocarbon compounds, aldehyde compounds, ketones and ester compounds; as well as paints and plastic storage boxes on the surface of office appliances, Paint brush walls, man-made fiberboard, cardboard boxes, and some items made of foam insulation will emit phenol formaldehyde gas; burnt fluorescent tubes will emit polychlorinated biphenyls; dirty air-conditioning filters will breed bacteria, virus. The cause of pollution comes from unreasonable architectural design. For example, in the garage of the basement of the building, the exhaust gas of the car often escapes to the inside of the building along the stairs or elevator elevators; the intake holes of many buildings are located directly opposite the air outlets, which makes it easy for the polluting gas to remain in the building, which is not conducive to The circulation of indoor air.

Prevention

Office syndrome prevention

Prevention strategy

(1) Eliminate pollution indoor decoration should use green products. Do a good job in the cleanliness of the office, regularly open the doors and windows for ventilation, and expel various toxic and harmful gases in the room. No smoking indoors.

(2) When exercising and resting on the work, insist on working outside the building, stretching your body, doing deep breathing, stepping on the cobblestone road. I often participate in sports activities.

(3) Most patients with "office syndrome" have a milder condition and are only temporary. Some patients left the office and returned home, and the symptoms disappeared.

(4) Applicable acupuncture points: headache, dizziness, dizziness (Yintang, Hegu, Yongquan, Sanmingjiao, Taichong, Sun, Ashi points); nausea and vomiting (Dazhui, Zhongmu, Neiguan, Zusanli).

Complication

Office syndrome complications Complications, neurological headache, tinnitus, cervical spondylosis

Neurological headache, tinnitus, cervical spondylosis, memory loss.

Symptom

Office Syndrome Symptoms Common Symptoms Weak lips, dry appetite, nausea and vomiting, irritability, red eyes, repeated upper respiratory tract infections

There may be dizziness, headache, chord, fatigue, anxiety, even nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, redness of the eyes, dry throat. Some appear to be similar to upper respiratory tract infections, some manifest as skin allergies, and some have symptoms of the blood system and nervous system diseases.

Examine

Office syndrome check

Nervous system examination:

First, the state of consciousness.

Second, the cranial nerve.

Third, the visual pathway.

Fourth, the extraocular muscles and pupils.

Fifth, facial sensation and exercise.

Sixth, hearing test. Hearing tests or hearing tests are performed by observing the response caused by acoustic stimuli to understand the state of auditory function and to diagnose the diagnosis of auditory diseases. The hearing can be heard by pure sound, noise, short sound or language (whisper, spoken language), etc., and sent to the ear by the sound source directly or through the instrument.

Seven, soft sputum, throat movement and feeling.

Eight, tongue muscle movement.

Diagnosis

Office syndrome diagnosis

1 Modern office equipment, such as copiers, computers and laser printers, will produce high concentrations of ozone and organic waste gases; decorative materials and air conditioning systems in the office will produce a variety of pollutants. These pollutants cause headaches, dizziness, lethargy, fatigue, and even symptoms such as poor breathing, irregular heartbeat, and mental disorders when they go to work. And when people leave the office, the above symptoms will be alleviated or disappeared. This symptom is called "office syndrome" and is also known as "Monday disease" or "Building Syndrome".

2 Sitting in a narrow desk for a long time does not move, the blood reduces the circulation, and the possibility of it being solidified is also increased. If you can't move your feet for a long time, it will cause blood clots in the deep veins of your feet, which will block the blood vessels. Once a considerable thrombus (blood clot) is formed and flows through the blood vessels into the lungs, oxygen input is prevented. A large blood clot can kill people in 4 minutes. This symptom is called "office syndrome."

3 Due to poor blood circulation, the heart and brain do not have sufficient nutrient supply. People in sedentary offices often have symptoms such as headache, dizziness, fatigue, and memory loss. These symptoms are also called office syndrome.
