Nocturia is a condition characterized by the need to wake up during the night to urinate. It is not a good sign for people to wake up to urinate at night. Occasionally, we may wake up to urine at night.
When we start to wake up consistently to urine once a night, it is a sign of problems to come. The frequency may gradually increase to two or more times a night. And eventually, it may be as bad as waking up hourly to urinate nightly.
There may be many lifestyle choices that may induce night urination. The top 3 reasons are as follows:
While lifestyle choices are easy to change, we are not critical of them until they start to induce medical problems. Furthermore, some medications can potentially induce nocturia by increasing urine production, irritating the bladder, or affecting kidney function. Here are some classes of medications commonly associated with nocturia:
It's essential to note that the relationship between medication use and nocturia can vary from person to person, and not everyone will experience this side effect.
READ the instructions of the medication that is prescribed and understand their potential side effects.
When you are suffering from nocturia, which doctor do you go to? Is there a specialist that could help you stop nocturia like lowering your blood pressure?
First, you would go to your family doctor to evaluate your medical history, perform a physical examination, and order initial tests to determine the potential causes of your nocturia.
Depending on their initial finding, your family doctor may send you to
The Geriatrician may suggest that nocturia is common among older adults, and it is not to be concerned about.
Hydrogen Therapy can help to alleviate Nocturia
At The H2 Therapy, we agree that as we age, our bodily function may not be as efficient. However, all of us deserve a good night's sleep. We have observed that many customers have their frequency of night urination reduced from 6-7 times a night to once a night in the early morning after 5 am, after a few sessions of hydrogen therapy.
When the customer was able to adjust to a healthier lifestyle, coupled with hydrogen therapy, the problem of nocturia would be relieved quickly.
Snoring can be a symptom of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Snoring occurs when the flow of air through the mouth and nose is partially obstructed during sleep, leading to vibrations in the throat tissues. While snoring itself is common and not always indicative of a serious health problem, it can be a sign of underlying sleep-disordered breathing, including obstructive sleep apnea.
Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when the inflamed muscles in the throat collapse during sleep, causing the airway to become partially or completely blocked. This obstruction leads to pauses in breathing or shallow breathing, which can disrupt sleep patterns and reduce oxygen levels in the blood.
We would probably not be aware of our snoring problem until our sleeping partner complains about it. Or until the problem becomes so severe that we do not feel energized when we wake up, we experience morning headaches, difficulty concentrating, irritability, and witnessed breathing pauses during sleep ourselves.
The risk factors that increase the likelihood of developing obstructive sleep apnea, include obesity, older age, male gender, and anatomical abnormalities of the airway.
Here are some common approaches to managing and treating sleep apnea:
Insomnia, which refers to difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or experiencing non-restorative sleep despite adequate opportunity for sleep, can have various causes, including:
Treating insomnia typically involves a combination of lifestyle changes, behavioral therapies, and, in some cases, medications. Here are some strategies to help address and improve insomnia:
• Establish a Regular Sleep Routine: Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends. Consistency helps regulate your body's internal clock and promotes better sleep. Develop a calming pre-sleep routine to signal to your body that it's time to wind down. This may include activities such as reading a book, taking a warm bath, practicing relaxation techniques (e.g., deep breathing, meditation), or gentle stretching.
• Limit Exposure to Screens Before Bed: Reduce exposure to electronic devices (e.g., smartphones, tablets, computers, TVs) at least an hour before bedtime, as the blue light emitted by screens can interfere with the production of melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep-wake cycles.
• Watch Your Diet and Avoid Stimulants: Avoid heavy meals, caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol to 6 hours before bedtime, as they can disrupt sleep patterns and make it harder to fall asleep.
• Exercise Regularly: Engage in regular physical activity, but try to avoid vigorous exercise close to bedtime, as it may be too stimulating and interfere with sleep. Aim for moderate-intensity exercise earlier in the day.
• Learn Meditation to relax: Practice stress-reduction techniques such as mindfulness meditation, progressive muscle relaxation, journaling, or therapy to help manage stress and anxiety that may be contributing to insomnia.
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I): CBT-I is a highly effective treatment for insomnia that addresses maladaptive thoughts and behaviors related to sleep. It may involve techniques such as stimulus control, sleep restriction, relaxation training, and cognitive restructuring.
• Sleep Medications: In some cases, healthcare providers may prescribe medications to help with short-term insomnia or when other treatments have not been effective. However, medications are typically used cautiously and for a limited time due to the risk of dependence and side effects.
• Hydrogen Inhalation Therapy: Having a session of hydrogen therapy will relax your body and put you to sleep.
The number 1 problem for people doing shift work is health. If you are doing shift work now just look around your workplace. How is the health of your fellow workers who are above the age of 40? Do they have the following challenges?
• High blood pressure
• High cholesterol
• High blood sugar
Most likely they are already on medication for the 3 highs and more.
Many of them may have suffered one or more of the following problems:
• Itches due to eczema
• Chronic back pain or joint pain
• Overweight
• Chronic constipation
• Feeling tired all the time
These problems are very typical in industries that reliance heavily on the night shift, such as
• Healthy care services that operate 24*7
• Facility Security service
• Logistic services, such as the seaport, the airport, and 24*7 logistic centers
• Manufacturing Facilities that operate 24*7
• Night Entertainment
The personnel in the shift work industry are likely to suffer from chronic illnesses in the early 40s. They would put up with medication and after 10-15 years, the worst-case scenario is to suffer a stroke, heart attack, or kidney failure at a relatively young age.
Hydrogen Therapy may help to strengthen their body in the short run. Helping them to sleep better during the day or during the night when not on shift work.
The only way for these groups of people to return to health is to manage themselves out of the night shift. It is not an easy matter to advise. The reader will have to decide if it is worth their health for the night shift job.
Hydrogen gas inhalation is non-invasive and safe without any side effects. When hydrogen gas is inhaled, it goes to the bloodstream and transverses the entire body within 15 minutes. While flowing through our blood vessels, along with the blood, it dissolves inflammation into water clearing the path for better oxygen and nutrients delivery. Thus, helping our body to heal better and faster.
There are more than a thousand papers written about hydrogen therapy. There are currently many ongoing studies on how hydrogen inhalation can help ease cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and many more challenges in hospitals. Through the many trials, the first amazing result was that these patients got to sleep better, speeding up their recovery.
Hydrogen gas has been recognized as one medical gas that has potential in the treatment of cardiovascular disease, inflammatory disease, neurodegenerative disorders, and cancer. As a hydroxyl radical and peroxynitrite scavenger, and due to its anti-inflammatory effects, hydrogen gas may work to prevent/relieve the adverse effects caused by chemotherapy and radiotherapy without compromising its anti-cancer potential.
Hydrogen gas may also work alone or synergistically with other therapy to suppress tumor growth via inducing apoptosis, inhibiting CSCs-related and cell cycle-related factors, etc. Read the article “Hydrogen Gas in Cancer Treatment”.
The greater benefits of hydrogen gas are that
• Unlike patented drugs, hydrogen gas is a natural element that has existed since the beginning of time
• Unlike manufactured drugs, hydrogen gas is harvested from water
• Unlike medication, hydrogen is a natural substance that is produced within the human body
• Unlike medication, hydrogen gas has no side effects on the human body
• Unlike hyperbaric gas treatment, hydrogen gas is served in an open unconstrained environment
• Unlike surgery, hydrogen inhalation therapy is non-invasive. No needles or knife required
And it works.
