Does this pain break suddenly at night? Do not take lightly, maybe a serious sign of high uric acid:

News India Live, Digital Desk: Arthritis Symptoms: After a day -long fatigue, when you are in a deep sleep, and suddenly a sharp, stinging pain in a toe or a joint breaks your sleep, do not make the mistake of considering it as minor fatigue. It can be a serious sign of increased uric acid in your body, which can make you a patient of painful disease like arthritis.

The problem of uric acid has become common due to poor lifestyle and wrong eating. Nowadays when the amount of chemical named purin in the body increases, the kidney is not able to filter it properly. This uric acid dissolves in the blood and starts freezing as a crystal in the joints and causes pain. The interesting thing is that many of its symptoms, especially at night, bother more at night.

These 4 symptoms that knock at night:

1. Sudden and unbearable joint pain: It is the most common and first symptom of high uric acid. This pain often begins at night, especially in toe, heel, knee or ankle. The pain can be so sharp that you will feel as if the joint has caught fire and the touch of a slight sheet will not be tolerated.
2. Swelling, redness and warmth in the joints: Swelling occurs on the painful place, that part turns red and feels hot when touched. When we do not move much at night, the stiffness in the joints increases, which makes it difficult to move that joint when waking up in the morning.
3. Frequent urination at night: When the level of uric acid in the blood increases greatly, there is additional pressure on the kidneys to take it out. Because of this, you may have a desire to go urine again and again at night.
4. Restlessness and sweating at night: Inflammation and persistent pain caused by uric acid crystals in the body also affects your nervous system. Due to this, some people may have problems with restlessness and excessive sweating at night.

Why does pain grow at night?

According to experts, there are many reasons for increasing gout pain at night. The body temperature decreases slightly at night and due to dehydration (water deficiency), the crystal joints of uric acid start freezing more easily.

If you too are feeling any of these symptoms at night, do not ignore it at all and seek advice from a doctor immediately.
