What should patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases pay attention to in hot weather?

In hot weather, the probability of heatstroke is very high. Everyone is likely to suffer from heatstroke, such as patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. When the temperature in the environment has reached 2 1 degree Celsius or the humidity is high, in fact, our heart should speed up its workload to lower its body temperature, which is not a problem for normal people, as long as it drinks more water.

Patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases will bring great burden to the heart and circulatory system at high temperature, especially those with weak hearts will produce a lot of sweat in high temperature weather, and some water in the body will be lost to varying degrees, which will greatly increase the viscosity of blood and make the blood circulation poor. At this time, the high temperature can easily make our human body excited by sympathetic nerves, and the fluctuation on it is also great.

In addition, when we come out of the air-conditioned room to a high temperature environment, the temperature will also change greatly, which will easily lead to accelerated contraction and expansion of blood vessels, resulting in blood circulation disorders and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents. In hot weather, the consumption of calories and blood sugar will increase a lot. If diabetics try to lower their blood sugar in summer, hypoglycemia will also occur.

Moreover, it can also lead to other diseases, such as cerebrovascular diseases and angina pectoris. And people with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are more prone to heatstroke. In hot weather, patients' nerves will be excited, which will increase the load in blood vessels, especially in patients with cardiac insufficiency. The heat in their bodies can't be released and stored in time, which is prone to heatstroke.

Therefore, patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases should take measures to prevent heatstroke and cool down in high temperature weather, and symptoms such as myocardial infarction can be mixed with heatstroke. Therefore, patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases must pay attention when they are at high temperature, and don't let themselves drink more water in a particularly high temperature environment for a long time, mainly with light food. In an air-conditioned room, the temperature of the air conditioner should not be too low, about 26 degrees Celsius.

Then we must pay attention to chronic diseases such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia and diabetes. Under the guidance of a doctor, increase or decrease the drugs taken to control blood sugar and blood pressure within the normal range. If you have severe chest pain, you must go to the hospital as soon as possible.
