Reasoning diagnosis: Big brother, your wife has been prescribed medicine!

Chapter 188 Fear of water?Rabies!
"Where are you talking now?"

Zhang Sen looked at Tao Zhen and asked.

"I was at home by myself that night, and when I drank water, I felt that there was something at home."

Tao Zhen said to him.

"Oh, okay, let me continue!"

Zhang Sen nodded, and then said:
"After that time, in the next two days, whenever my wife picked up a water glass to drink water, she would have this symptom!"

"It's like seeing a ghost. I have shortness of breath, gasping for breath, and panic."

"This made her afraid to drink water!"

Lin Yi frowned slightly when he heard this, and said:
"When you drink water, it's like seeing a ghost? Are there any other symptoms?"

"Have!"

Zhang Sen nodded immediately, and continued:

"She is still afraid of the wind. It was raining and windy two nights ago, and it was a bit cold."

"She wanted to get some air in front of the window, but she didn't expect that when the wind blew in, she would panic again and yell, as if she saw something terrifying."

"But I went over and looked, and there was nothing!"

"This also caused the windows of our house to be tightly sealed in the past two days, but she still often felt panicked as if she saw something scary."

"I'm so scared at home with her!"

As he said that, Zhang Sen showed a look of terror on his face. It could be seen that this period of time was also a kind of torture to his spirit.

"Isn't it the day before yesterday that I took her to the Third Hospital to have a look and did a lot of examinations, including chest CT, electrocardiogram, and heart color Doppler ultrasound!"

"But in the end, nothing abnormal was found. After a comprehensive analysis, the doctor over there diagnosed it as anxiety disorder and asked him to go to the psychiatrist for treatment."

"So today we came to the psychiatric department to register, but I don't know why, the psychiatry department was called to the emergency room again?"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Sen looked around with some doubts, then looked at Lin Yi and asked.

After Lin Yi finished listening, he pondered for a while and said to him:
"They brought you here because they must think that your wife is not simply suffering from anxiety."

"Isn't it an anxiety disorder? It shouldn't be!"

After Lin Yi finished speaking, Zhang Sen immediately retorted,
"The doctor at the Third Hospital said that anxiety disorder is a kind of mental disorder, and the main feature is the experience of anxiety, yes, that's it."

"They said that it should be my wife's work is not going well, and she was reprimanded by the boss after making several mistakes in a row, and then there was a stress reaction."

"Then he also said that anxiety disorders are divided into acute and chronic, and acute anxiety attacks are also called panic attacks."

"I think this panic attack is very suitable for my wife! She just panics a lot!"

Tao Zhen on the side also echoed again and again:
"Yes, I think the same way. Fear is the most accurate description of me. Sometimes even if I don't drink water or blow a hair these days, I still feel a sense of dying. I really describe this feeling not come out."

Lin Yi listened to them quietly beside them.

After they had finished speaking, he asked them:

"Since you are so sure about anxiety, why didn't you continue to see it in the third hospital, but came to our central hospital again?"

Zhang Sen sighed and said:

"My wife has been diagnosed with a mental illness over there. She has been hospitalized for observation and cannot go to work."

"But isn't our hospital better, so we just wanted to come here to see if there would be any different opinions."

"Listen to you, did the psychiatrist just now think that my wife is not mentally ill?"

After speaking, Zhang Sen stared at Lin Yi again.

Lin Yi shook his head slightly and said:
"It's not just him, I don't think it's a mental illness either."

"Then what is it? So do you have a clue?"

Seeing what Lin Yi said, Zhang Sen and his wife immediately asked nervously.

Lin Yi said slowly:

"According to your description just now, in fact, the patient's consciousness is still clear when he is not ill, and he only feels panic when he is ill."

"And there was no hallucination when the onset occurred. What I saw was just an inexplicable panic."

"It's not really a symptom of schizophrenia."

Listening to Lin Yi's analysis, Zhang Sen nodded again and again:
"Yes, that is indeed the case, so what is the reason for her?"

"Do you have any pets at home, such as cats and dogs?"

Suddenly, Lin Yi raised his head, stared at the two of them solemnly and asked.

The husband and wife suddenly looked blank, then shook their heads and said:
"No, we have never raised such a small animal in our family."

"What's the matter, does this have anything to do with this disease?"

Lin Yi still frowned, and continued to ask:
"You don't have pets at home, so recall, have you ever been bitten by a dog in the past few months?"

"Bitten by a dog? What do you mean?"

Tao Zhen was even more puzzled, looking at Lin Yi in puzzlement and asking.

"Based on your condition, I suspect rabies."

Lin Yi said it directly.

"What! Rabies?"

After the couple heard these words, they asked loudly in unison.

"If you have rabies, don't you bite people like a mad dog? I didn't bite anyone."

Afterwards, Tao Zhen immediately said disapprovingly.

"Yeah, she's just scared."

Zhang Sen also nodded seriously.

Lin Yi and Wu Jiang couldn't laugh or cry when they heard what they said.

But in the current situation, there is no time for jokes, so Lin Yi hurriedly explained to them patiently:

"Rabies doesn't mean it literally, like a mad dog."

"One of its classic symptoms is fear of water."

"Because the rabies virus enters the human body, it will climb all the way to the brain along the peripheral nerves, damaging the vagus nerve, glossopharyngeal nerve and hypoglossal nucleus."

"These nerves control the muscles of swallowing and breathing, and once damaged, they can cause spasms of the swallowing and breathing muscles."

"So as long as the patient drinks water, or even just lifts the water and hears the sound of water, it may induce spasm of the throat muscles and respiratory muscles, and there will be a sense of suffocation!"

Lin Yi finished speaking to them in one breath.

"This………"

After listening to Lin Yi's explanation, the two looked at each other again.

"Think about it quickly, have you ever been bitten by a dog? If it is really a rabies attack, then you will be in big trouble!"

Lin Yi's face was extremely solemn, and he asked the two of them again.

"No, doctor, you must have made a mistake, it can't be this kind of rabies!"

After a while, Zhang Sen waved his hand with a smile, and said firmly,

"We don't have dogs or other pets at home, how could my wife be bitten by a dog!"

"Think about whether there are other reasons. Let's rule out rabies first!"
