We are all familiar with tetanus. Whenever there is a road accident, the first concern of the injured person is to get a tetanus shot, which is a good thing. 
It is also called rooting disease. The spores of this disease begin to develop as soon as favorable conditions are available. 
Additional symptoms include dripping resin, profuse sweating, fever, tingling in hands and feet, shortness of breath, heart attack, shortness of breath. include distention and irregular heart beat etc. 


Tetanus


 Actually, it is an infection caused by a specific bacteria. The name of this bacteria is Clostridium tetanus. Due to this infection, all the muscles of the body become stiff. 

 Muscles in all internal organs are affected, even the muscles of the heart. Usually, the muscles that move the jaws are affected first and then the muscle spasm spreads to all parts of the body.

 Muscle spasms or stiffness can be severe enough to cause bone fractures. Tetanus causes all the muscles in the body to stiffen, but the muscles of the heart usually do not stiffen. This is probably due to a small current in the heart muscle. 
The tetanus bacteria release a toxic chemical that affects the nerves. reaches the brain through. 

 Under the influence of this poison, the brain sends messages to the muscles under which the muscles remain in a state of contraction. If we talk about the signs and symptoms of tetanus, the first symptom is the jaws becoming locked.
 Jaws Along with this, all the facial muscles also become stiff and the facial structure becomes specific. 
After the facial, the muscles of the neck, chest, waist and hips and legs are tense because the muscles of the back and chest are tense in breathing. are supportive.  

Therefore, due to their severe tension, it becomes very difficult to breathe, due to the continuous stiffness of the muscles of different parts of the body, severe pain starts and such a situation is called tetany. 
Due to tetany Muscle breakdown and bone fractures occur. 
Additional symptoms include drooling, profuse sweating, fever, tingling, shortness of breath, cardiac arrest, shortness of breath, and irregular heartbeat and urinary incontinence, and this disease is so dangerous that even with the best treatment, up to 10% of deaths occur.

 On clinical grounds, tetanus is divided into four different types. 

 The first type is called general tetanus or generalized tetanus. 

 First jaw clenching and facial muscle stiffness followed by difficulty swallowing and neck muscle stiffness followed by chest and leg muscle stiffness. 

 Along with this, fever, sweating, increase in blood pressure, intermittent increase in heart rate, the body muscles do not remain stiff continuously but stiffen intermittently. 
The body assumes a special bow-like state. This process lasts up to four weeks and complete recovery may take months but can occur within four days. 

 Another type of tetanus is seen in newborns:

 It has typical tetanus symptoms and usually occurs in children of unvaccinated mothers. In infants, it is usually caused by an infection of the anus because the scissors used to cut the anus are It is estimated that tetanus accounts for about 15% of all infant deaths and occurs in all developing countries, much less in developed countries.

 The third type of tetanus: 

 It usually occurs in the muscles at the site of the wound and injury. Tetanus remains in the local muscles for weeks and then either heals or in a generalized form.

 The fourth and final type: 

 Called tetanus of the head, can only be seen in the muscles of the head and is so rare that doctors usually don't recognize it. 

 It can be caused by head injury, eye injury, tooth extraction and ear infection, etc. 
Although this type is quite rare, it is the most dangerous. 
The risk of death is up to 30%. Vaccination is very important to prevent tetanus, especially children should complete the immunization course and young girls should be vaccinated against tetanus before becoming mothers after marriage.

 According to experts, startle shocks during sleep is also a common disease. It is a type of neural tetanus. 
During sleep, a person feels a sudden shock in some part of the body. This is an experience that 8 out of every 10 people experience. 
People have it. It is called Heinek jerk in medical language. A type of nervous tetanus also has hiccups. According to experts, these startling jerks during sleep are very short and sudden and often occur in the first stage of sleep. 

 This is the stage when a person is between wakefulness and deep sleep. 
In this stage of sleep, the muscles are relaxed and the brain often interprets this shock as a sensation of falling, causing muscle spasms.
 Heinecke Jerks, also known as sleep starts, occur without any reason and are often a symptom of an underlying medical condition. 

 There are certain factors that increase the likelihood of this experience, such as stress, excessive physical exertion or exercise, and certain medications. 
Awakening from such shocks during sleep is common in healthy individuals, but its severity varies with fatigue, Lack of sleep or caffeine or other habits increase the risk. 
Medical experts say that often this kind of sudden awakening from sleep is not a cause for concern, but if it occurs frequently and it becomes difficult to fall asleep easily, it is better to consult a doctor.


Tetanus


 Sometimes sudden startling from sleep is also a sign of a disease. For example, sleep apnea, a disease in which breathing stops for a few moments during sleep and as a result, muscle spasms occur. Experts. 
According to, when the airway is closed and the oxygen level decreases, the brain sends signals that cause some kind of shock in the muscles. There is no better way to prevent this problem, except sleep. 
This can be reduced by scheduling and sleeping in a relaxing environment. Reducing mental stress and reducing caffeine or tea and coffee consumption may also help.
