So. Readers ask why the face goes numb with excitement.
If you search the web for answers, they will be streamlined, because even the most die-hard scientists have not yet agreed on this. But in the last couple of years, we have dismantled almost all of these cunning mechanisms. I explain.
Adrenaline and extremity
If a person has become psychotic, then he has a lot of adrenaline. Adrenaline causes spasm of the blood vessels and especially in the extremities. Not in the limbs, but in the extremities. Have you heard about such?
Well, that is, limbs are arms and legs. There are thin and long arteries in the fingers that easily spasm from nerves and hormones. Everyone had this at a high temperature. If you have chills, your fingers and toes are likely to be cold.
Thin and sensitive arteries are found not only in the arms and legs, but also in other protruding parts of the body. For example in the nose. Therefore, the nose can also freeze. Well, or the face turns pale from excitement. Have you seen this?
So from an excess of adrenaline, many blood vessels in the extremities narrow, and the extremities suffer. Fingers go numb, and face goes numb. This is a simple explanation. It is no longer particularly relevant. It's getting worse there.
Hyperventilation
This is the story in which a person freaks out, and then he has to breathe into a paper bag. This is often shown in the movies.
A person has an anxiety disorder, he panics and begins to breathe frequently. With such breathing, a lot of oxygen enters the blood, and it is even somewhat good. But at the same time, a lot of carbon dioxide is exhaled. The catch is that carbon dioxide isn't just garbage or waste. We really need it for the correct regulation of blood flow in the head.
Well, it's like if you have sand on the rug in your hallway at home. This is rubbish and must be disposed of. But if this sand lies at the entrance on the ice in winter, then it protects your head very well. Have you presented?
So if there is little carbon dioxide in the blood, then the vessels of the brain are narrowed more than necessary, and the head suffers. From this all sorts of oddities begin, including numbness of the skin of the face.
My encephalogram
When a psychiatrist or a neurologist checks me for a medical examination, sometimes they send me to an encephalogram. This is because I am complaining about migraines.
During an encephalogram, they force me to breathe often and deeply in order to lower the carbon dioxide content in my blood and provoke me to some antics. But I do not give in, and I am allowed to work with people.
During deep breathing, my face and hands go numb, but my head continues to work. What a fine fellow I am!
In fact, there is still an idea about phosphorus escaping into cells. It's about the same as those people who come out of starvation.
Well, there were also misunderstandings among scientists regarding calcium in the blood. There was no way they could agree on bound calcium with ionized calcium. We have already touched on these topics. Read them on the links. If you are interested, I will tell you in more detail how this is related to facial numbness.
