Is Gout the Reason for Losing Sleep Every Night?

Update Date: Source: Network

Gout patients do not necessarily have insomnia every night.

If the condition is relatively mild and timely and effective treatment is received, it may not affect normal sleep quality. Gout is a heterogeneous disease caused by excessively high blood uric acid levels, clinically characterized by recurrent arthritis, chronic joint synovitis, tophus formation, cartilage and bone damage, etc. Hyperuricemia is caused by purine metabolic disorders in the body, excessive uric acid production, or reduced excretion. It is usually related to unhealthy lifestyles, such as regularly eating high-purine foods and excessive alcohol consumption. After the onset of the disease, it can lead to local pain, swelling, and other symptoms, accompanied by redness and fever. If no active and effective treatment is received, it may lead to continuous aggravation of symptoms, affecting normal life and even the patient's sleep quality.

If the symptoms of gout are relatively mild, only mild pain occurs, and it can be relieved after a period of rest, generally without causing too much impact on normal sleep. However, if the condition of gout is severe, it will have a certain impact on normal sleep. It is recommended that patients pay attention to reasonable diet in daily life, avoiding high-purine foods such as animal internal organs and seafood. At the same time, they should also pay attention to drinking more water to promote the body's metabolism, which is beneficial to the recovery of the disease. If necessary, patients need to follow the doctor's instructions to use Febuxostat Tablets, Benzbromarone Tablets, and other drugs for treatment.
