4 rounds of cold air are coming! This type of disease should not be taken lightly
According to the Central Meteorological Observatory, there will be four rounds of cold air affecting our country in November, and the temperature will drop significantly, which also means that cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases have entered a period of high incidence. Doctors say that drastic changes in temperature can easily cause fluctuations in blood pressure and heart rate, increase the probability of vasospasm and plaque rupture, and increase blood viscosity, thereby inducing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular emergencies.
Be wary of the following maintenance misunderstandings!
Misunderstanding 1: Drink some wine to warm up
Alcohol dilates blood vessels, causing them to rebound and contract when the heat is over, causing blood pressure to rise and fall. People with high blood pressure and arteriosclerosis cannot withstand such a torment, and the risk will be higher within a few hours after drinking.
Tips → Warm up by wearing clothes and drinking warm water, not by drinking alcohol.
Misunderstanding 2: Stop taking medication when your blood pressure is normal
People who are taking antihypertensive drugs should not stop taking the drugs on their own even if their blood pressure drops back to the normal range. Hypertension is a chronic disease that cannot be cured at this stage, and reaching the standard is only the effect of drug control. If you stop taking the medicine hastily, your blood pressure will go out of control again. Such violent fluctuations will cause far more damage to blood vessels than stable high blood pressure. During the cooling season, vascular stress becomes stronger, further amplifying the risk. If you want to adjust the dose, you must bring your daily blood pressure records to your doctor for evaluation.
Warm reminder → If you want to adjust the dosage of medicine, you must bring your daily blood pressure records to your doctor for evaluation.
Myth 3: The hotter the bath water, the better
If the water temperature is too high when taking a bath, the blood vessels on the body’s surface will expand rapidly, and a large amount of blood will flow to the surface of the skin, resulting in a relative lack of blood supply to the heart and brain. In addition, the bathroom space is closed, there is a lot of water vapor, the air circulation is poor, and the oxygen is reduced, it is easy to cause dizziness, chest tightness, and in severe cases, sudden syncope. It is for this reason that many elderly people have accidents while taking a bath alone at home.
Warm reminder → The temperature of the bath water should be controlled to be warm and comfortable. Do not pursue the hot feeling. The bath time should not be too long. It is best to preheat the bathroom in advance before taking a bath. Try to avoid locking the door and bathing alone.
Misunderstanding 4: Going out for morning exercise before dawn
Early morning is the time of day when the temperature is the lowest. At this time, the human body’s blood pressure is at its peak and the blood viscosity is relatively higher. It is the window for high incidence of myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction. If you go out early in the morning and the cold air directly stimulates the body, the blood vessels will suddenly contract and the vascular resistance will increase instantly, which will increase the load on the heart and greatly increase the risk of sudden emergencies. People with underlying medical conditions should try to avoid going out for exercise during this time.
Warm reminder → Wait until the sun comes out before moving, the most stable time is around three or four in the afternoon. Start moving around in the house, wear a hat and scarf, and don’t run around.
keep in mind! These signs are precursors to serious illness, don’t delay
If any of the following symptoms occurs in the body, it is a distress signal sent by the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems. See a doctor immediately, and don’t bear it:
Frequent dizziness, headaches, dark eyes, and blurred vision
Chest tightness, palpitation, chest squeezing pain, and back pain
Numbness of hands and feet, unilateral limb weakness, deviation in walking
Slurred speech, crooked corners of mouth, drooling
Frequent fatigue, drowsiness, and lethargy
Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases have rapid onset, high mortality, and severe sequelae. However, with early prevention and scientific maintenance, most accidents can be avoided.
A healthy heart supports us in running around, working, and spending time with our families. Cardiovascular disease can be prevented and controlled by actively changing bad living habits, regular screening, and scientific exercise, which can significantly reduce the risk. The weather is getting colder and colder. Taking good care of yourself and your family is the greatest blessing.
Remember to forward this to family and friends!
