Introduction
Men who frequently feel drowsy or sleepy may be experiencing physiological factors, or it could be due to pathological causes such as anemia or cerebral hypoxia. Treatment may include general management and medication. Excessive physical exercise or heavy manual labor can lead to physical fatigue and cause sleepiness. It is important to get adequate rest and avoid overexertion.
Excessive sleepiness in men may be caused by physiological factors, or it could result from pathological conditions such as anemia or cerebral hypoxia. Treatment can be carried out through general management or medication. Specific details are as follows:
I. Physiological Factors
Engaging frequently in intense physical exercise or heavy manual labor can lead to physical fatigue and drowsiness. It is important to get adequate rest and avoid excessive fatigue.
II. Pathological Factors
1. Anemia
This usually occurs due to insufficient or reduced red blood cell production, or excessive red blood cell destruction, leading to damage of the nervous system in the brain and resulting in drowsiness. Under medical guidance, medications such as ferrous succinate tablets or iron dextran oral solution may be taken for treatment.
2. Cerebral Hypoxia
This typically refers to a condition where oxygen supply or utilization fails to meet the minimum level required for brain metabolism, causing brain dysfunction. Symptoms may include slowed reactions and easy fatigability. Under medical guidance, medications such as betahistine hydrochloride tablets or ginkgo leaf tablets may be used for treatment.
In addition to the above causes, excessive sleepiness might also be caused by conditions such as cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, or brain tumors. Pay attention to dietary adjustments and increase intake of protein-rich foods.
