Dreaming for 10,000 years

Chapter 122 Medical Treatment
The darkness slowly faded away, and Shi Fei woke up from his dream again.

The memories of the long dream receded like the tide as Shi Fei woke up.

Fortunately, the body in his dream was sixty years old and died of natural causes, so the dream was not long and allowed him to remember a lot of things.

There are wars in the north and south, a harem that is large and white, invincible loneliness and the dances of many Khans on the grasslands.

Alas, those Xianbei and Turkic people are so good at singing and dancing, why do they have to appear on the border of the Tang Dynasty?

really...

Thinking about these messy things in his mind, Shi Fei finally came to his senses.

He had already woken up, so he no longer thought about the dream. He had been having such strange dreams for the past few days, and it was no longer strange to him.

Picking up the phone on the bedside table, he looked at the time and was shocked.

How come it’s only four o’clock?
I slept until 4:30 yesterday.
I clearly drank some wine before going to bed, so how come I only slept until four o'clock?
Drinking alcohol to help you sleep seems to be a lie! Or maybe if you dream too much, you will sleep longer?

Shaking his head, Shi Fei got up, washed, changed his clothes, and ran ten kilometers.

Today's 10km run was so-so, but it was an improvement over yesterday! After taking a shower and having breakfast, Shi Fei habitually prepared to go to work. Only then did he realize that he didn't have to go to work today!
He made an appointment yesterday and went to see the doctor today!
So Shi Fei drove to the Municipal People's Hospital. He arrived early, but there were still many people going to or leaving get off work in the hospital.

After looking at the layout of the hospital, Shi Fei went up to the fifth floor and came to the Department of Neurology. When he arrived at the door of the Department of Neurology, he was surprised to see a line of people waiting there.

Although the call for numbers didn't start until 8:30, many people arrived early. Among them were young people like Shi Fei, and also elderly people.

When he arrived at the self-service machine, Shi Fei took out the number he had reserved and started queuing.

He found a corner to wait, and checked his phone to see if there was any news in the company group.

After waiting for about half an hour, Shi Fei's name finally flashed on the LED screen at the door of the doctor's consultation room.

Shi Fei entered the consultation room and saw that the doctor was a man in his forties.

"What's wrong?" the doctor looked at Shi Fei and asked.

"I couldn't sleep recently." Shi Fei answered truthfully.

The doctor asked, “How long?”

Shi Fei thought for a moment and said, "It's been four or five days, right? I sleep until four in the morning every day and wake up. After noon, I feel very sleepy."

"What time do you usually go to bed?"

"It used to be 11 or 12 o'clock, but now I'm so sleepy that I go to bed early, around 8 or 9 o'clock?"

"Do you dream when you sleep?"

"Dreaming! I always have a very long dream! I almost forget everything after I wake up."

"Usually, work requires brainpower, not physical effort, right?"

"Yes!"

“Work can be stressful, too!”

“Somewhat.”

The doctor nodded. Who doesn't have stress at work these days? He said, "I know your situation. People are under a lot of pressure nowadays. Plus, you use your brain at work, which means you are not physically tired, but mentally exhausted."

"So, your brain feels sleepy, but your body is not too tired. This is what causes your situation. In the second half of the night, your brain and body have rested, and then you can't fall asleep again."

When Shi Fei heard this, he felt it made sense.

His daily work now doesn't require any effort at all, it's all about worrying and exhausting his mind and brain. Every day, the fatigue comes out from his heart. "Doctor, how should I treat it?" Shi Fei asked.

"You are still young, so medication is not recommended. Try to go to bed late every night and exercise more often." The doctor looked at Shi Fei and said, "If you must be treated, I can prescribe some tranquilizers."

"Uh...but I usually get off work very late, so I don't have time to exercise." Shi Fei said helplessly.

He also wanted to go exercise after get off work, but it was already late when he got home. After eating, he just wanted to sleep.

"Then you should pay attention to your daily routine and squeeze out some time for proper exercise, and you should feel better." The doctor began to type out the medical records on the computer, wrote out a prescription and said, "Take one pill in the morning and evening, or you can skip it."

"Oh, then I understand!" Shi Fei said goodbye to the doctor.

He had already understood what the doctor meant. It wasn't a serious illness and he just needed to adjust his daily routine and exercise more.

Psychiatry includes diseases such as epilepsy, cerebrovascular diseases, and cerebral palsy. Compared with other patients, his insomnia is really a trivial matter.

No wonder doctors are too lazy to prescribe medicine.

After leaving the psychiatric department, Shi Fei was about to go home when he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have also been admitted to the traditional Chinese medicine department.

Since I failed all the courses, I might as well take a look at them all.

The Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine was in another building, so he had to go downstairs first. When he passed the Department of Endocrinology, he suddenly saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure in the corridor.

Even in the hospital, he was still wearing a windbreaker, sunglasses and a hat, which was very strange.

Shi Fei had seen this person at the gate of the community a few days ago. There was no way he could wear a windbreaker in August, it would attract too much attention.

He walked past the man in the windbreaker and heard him on the phone: "...I have been diagnosed with diabetes."

"Yes, it's diabetes! ... You know I'm not a joker."

"The examination can't be wrong. I have diabetes these days... There's something wrong with my body!"

"It shouldn't be like this! Here... drinking milk tea shouldn't cause diabetes..."

The last sentence was a bit vague. Shi Fei walked away and didn't hear it clearly. He just muttered it in his heart.

What shouldn't happen? Hypertension, high blood lipids, and high blood sugar, which are traditional diseases of the middle-aged and elderly, are rapidly becoming younger. Many of his colleagues also suffer from hypertension.

However, young people rarely suffer from high blood sugar. High blood pressure and high blood lipids are caused by unscientific diet and work and rest. Just like Shi Fei's colleagues, they all stay up late and drink.

The only difference is high blood sugar, which is a problem with the organs.

Young people with high blood sugar usually have it in their family. I guess the same is true for the man in the windbreaker? It's a hereditary disease in the family, but he doesn't pay attention and drinks milk tea recklessly.

If you don’t get high blood sugar, who will?

After going downstairs and walking for a few minutes, Shi Fei arrived at another building, the Traditional Chinese Medicine Building. As soon as he entered the door, he could smell the strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine.

Following the floor index, Shi Fei came to the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine and took a number.

There were quite a few people in front of him, so Shi Fei could only queue up helplessly. This was the case in the hospital, with queues everywhere.

After waiting for another half an hour, it was finally Shi Fei's turn.

When he entered the consultation room, he saw a male doctor with a Mediterranean hairstyle and wearing glasses waving at Shi Fei.

"Come on, come on, sit over here!"
