actor Varun Dhawan and Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s web series ‘Citadel: Honey Bunny’ is garnering widespread praise. The fight choreography and detective story of the series are much talked about. Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s health is also discussed.
Varun Dhawan said in an interview that Samantha fell unconscious during the shooting. When he had difficulty breathing, an oxygen tank was needed on the set itself.
Samantha suffers from a disease called myositis. In this, the immune cells start attacking the muscles of the body. This can cause chronic inflammation, which sometimes increases and sometimes decreases. Due to inflammation, the muscles begin to weaken. This makes it difficult to get up and sit down. When symptoms get worse, it becomes difficult to breathe and even eat something.
That’s why today in “Sehatnama” we will talk about myositis. You will also learn that-
How many types of this disease are there? What are its symptoms? What is the treatment for myositis?
What is myositis?
Myositis is a disease that causes the immune system to attack the body’s muscles. This causes chronic and progressive inflammation of the muscles. This means that the inflammation persists for a long time and continues to increase and decrease during this time. Sometimes it causes red or purple rashes.
What are the symptoms of myositis?
A person with myositis usually has no symptoms at first. Its symptoms increase over time. In most cases, this causes swelling in the body. After this, there may be a problem of weakness and pain in the muscles. Apart from this, what other symptoms can there be, see in the graph:
How many types of myositis are there?
Myositis is diagnosed based on the symptoms and the muscles affected. On this basis, they were divided into five categories.
Know in detail all types of myositis.
dermatositis
Dermatositis causes red rashes. These symptoms are usually seen on the face, neck and chest.
Because of this, the skin can become dry and rough. In this, there may be a feeling of weakness in the neck, waist and shoulders as well as excessive fatigue. Due to inflammation of the muscles, it becomes difficult to swallow and the voice becomes very heavy. There may be pain accompanied by swelling of the joints.
Inclusion body myositis
It is the only type of myositis that is more common in men than women.
Due to this, it becomes difficult to walk. If the person is sitting, they will have great difficulty getting up. Difficulty swallowing and speaking.
Juvenile myositis
If myositis is diagnosed in a child under 18 years old, it is called juvenile myositis.
In this, the skin becomes swollen and purple rashes appear all over the body. There are pains in the stomach, there are problems washing your hair or combing your head. The neck muscles become so weak that it is difficult to lift or move the head.
poly myositis
Initially, the muscles above the waist weaken. Then it gradually spreads throughout the body. Every case of polymyositis is different, and most people with it also have other autoimmune diseases.
Because of this, the muscles swell and the pain persists. In this, people often get fever and start losing weight. The voice becomes heavy and fatigue increases.
toxic myositis
Although myositis is a rare disease, toxic myositis is an even rarer type. This is often caused by the side effects of certain medications or toxins. Its risk may increase due to medications that lower cholesterol levels. Its symptoms are generally similar to those of other myositis.
What causes myositis?
It is not yet known why myositis occurs. This can sometimes be due to other medical problems. It is an autoimmune disease. It has been observed in many cases that if a person suffers from other autoimmune diseases, they are more likely to develop myositis. The risk of myositis is higher in the following autoimmune diseases:
Lupus – When the immune system starts eating healthy cells from the body. Rheumatoid Arthritis – When there is chronic inflammation of the joints and the tissues surrounding them. – When the body begins to produce too much collagen and damages body tissues.
This condition has been observed in some people to develop after a viral infection. The risk of myositis is higher after the following viral infections:
ColdFluHIV
What is the treatment for myositis?
There is no treatment available for myositis. However, its symptoms can be reduced with the help of certain medications and exercises. In this, an attempt is made to reduce the swelling of the muscles and also to remove lethargy or weakness. In its treatment, certain steroids, immunosuppressants and intravenous immunoglobulins are administered.
The doctor may recommend stretches and exercises to make the affected muscles flexible and strong. This can help reduce joint pain and stiffness.
Apart from this, doctors may advise following a special diet to deal with this disease.
What should the diet be in case of myositis?
