What is anoxia?
Anoxia is a disease resulting from decreased oxygen supply to your brain. It is a consequence of hypoxia. If your body suffers from lack of oxygen, you develop an anoxic- hypoxic injury. Hypoxia is caused by conditions such as insufficient oxygen in areas of high altitude, poisoning from carbon monoxide, chocking and near drowning, asthma, pneumonia and other conditions that cause difficulties in breathing. Excessive loss of blood could also lead to hypoxia.
Your brain, kidneys, heart and other bodily tissues may stop functioning completely if hypoxia turns into anoxia. Anoxia is especially detrimental to your brain. If you go for a short period, even of five minutes without oxygen getting to your brain, your brain cell may die and other functions of your brain may be stopped or interfered with. If it is severe it may even lead to death.
There are different types of anoxia namely:
Anemic anoxia which is caused by the blood not carrying sufficient oxygen around your body organs for proper functioning. Lack of hemoglobin which is responsible for delivery of oxygen to your blood vessels and other body organs leads to the development of anemic anoxia.
Toxic anoxia which is a result of inhalation of toxic environmental fumes. This will hinder blood from effective transportation of oxygen to your body organs. The most common cause of toxic anoxia is carbon monoxide poisoning.
Stagnant anoxia, commonly referred to as hypoxic-ischemic injury, is caused by blood not reaching your brain and other body parts requiring its presence. It is mostly caused by diseases of the heart.
Anoxic anoxia is another type of anoxia. This is as a result of insufficient energy in your body. This leads to your bloodstream not having enough oxygen to transport throughout the body. Being in high attitudes increases your chances of getting this disease.
What causes anoxia?
Different conditions cause the development of anoxia. They include;
Having insufficient oxygen reaching the brain, being in high altitude areas, the exertion of the body, toxic poisoning, mountain climbing, hiking, snowboarding, and skiing. If your lungs are not functioning properly due to either of the following factors, you may also develop this disorder. They include; breathing difficulties resulting from pneumonia and asthma, abuse of drugs, suffocation, near drowning and chocking.
What are the common signs and symptoms of Anoxia?
The signs and symptoms of anoxia are not so obvious in the beginning. Before any symptoms can be seen, your brain may go up to a few minutes without oxygen. They may even take as long as a few days or even weeks to surface.
The signs that will appear at the initial stage include; temporary memory loss, personality and mood changes, slurred words and speech, sluggishness. You may also feel dizzy, inexplicable headaches, loss of body balance, and loss of concentration. You may also experience other symptoms such as hallucinations, seizures, and constant fainting. If you are experiencing such symptoms, you should seek immediate medical attention.
How is anoxia diagnosed?
The diagnosis and prognosis of anoxia are done to investigate if the symptoms you have are indeed for anoxia. Your doctor may decide to perform blood tests, tests on the nervous system or even some blood tests and X-rays. Some common tests usually used to determine if the symptoms elicited are of anoxia. They include; an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging.) to determine the reaction of your brain to different activities. You may also need to take a CT scan for a general view of your brain. An EEG (electroencephalogram ) will also be done to monitor your brain’s electrical activity. You may also need to take a blood and gas test to indicate the levels of hemoglobin and blood oxygen. You may be given other brain tests that will help your physician see how your brain reacts to the environment.
How is anoxia treated and managed?
The treatment for anoxia will depend on the period you have been ailing from the disease and for how long your brain has not been getting enough oxygen supply. Some mental and physical body functions may stop if you lack oxygen in the brain even for a few minutes. The treatment for this is your doctor trying to regulate your blood oxygen levels. You may need to have CPR performed or even be placed on a ventilator.
Seizures will be treated to avoid delay of your recovery in the long run. This is a complication that results from anoxia. It is better treated to avoid further complications later in life or worsening of the disease.
In the case that your anoxia is as a result of a heart attack, you will be treated for it to restore oxygen supply to the brain. You will need these forms of treatment to avoid prolonged damage to your brain or other body organs requiring oxygen to function properly. They include - Physical therapy which helps you in the restoration of your walking ability and general body control. You may also go for speech therapy to correct your slurred speech and swallowing ability. Psychotherapy is a very vital part of the treatment combined with occupational therapy as they will help you to adjust and deal with any major changes you may experience as a result of this disease. Recreational therapy will aid you in the promotion of your health and personal well being in the form of art and craft, music and dance or even community activities.
In addition to that, homeopathic treatment is very useful. It will give you exceptional results in the improvement of body tissues oxygenation. You will be treated holistically and constitutionally. You will get a balance in energy levels, improvement in immunity and body functions. The root of the disorder will be dealt with thus giving you as a person relief from complications and symptoms caused by anoxia.
Another treatment for anoxia is acupuncture and acupressure which focuses on balancing the body organs and their functions. It will ensure your blood flows in a normal manner thus restoring mental and physical health. Needles will be connected to structures that are neutral thus stimulating your whole nervous system.
