What diseases should we pay attention to when the weather is hot?

In summer, we can't stand the high temperature of the sun, especially our own skin. Just like coming back from a trip to Africa last summer. I don't know how dark it is. If you don't pay attention to heatstroke prevention in summer, you may have symptoms of heatstroke. So what diseases should we pay attention to in hot weather? What are the diseases that high temperature harms the body?

1, pay attention to the condition at high temperature.

Preventing yin and heatstroke

Summer heat is common, but in midsummer, there are not a few people who get sick because of gluttony. Take heatstroke as an example. Most people can't adapt to it because the ambient temperature is too high. This is just a kind of heatstroke, which is called Yang-summer heat in Chinese medicine. Another disease is called yin-summer heat, and its incidence is increasing day by day, but it has not attracted due attention.

Zhang Jingyue, a great medical scientist in the Ming Dynasty, described it in The Complete Book of Clear Moon: People who suffer from yin and summer heat suffer from cold, while ordinary people are afraid of summer heat and greedy for cold, and do not avoid cold, so they are either in the Shentang mansion, or in the shade, or when the heat suddenly turns cold, they do not get close to the clothes and quilts, causing cold pathogens to attack the muscle surface, and the diseases are fever, headache, anhidrosis, aversion to cold, shortness of breath, limb pain and so on. This is because the summer months are cold, so it is named yin heat, that is, typhoid fever. Typhoid here means to be injured by cold evil.

Xunkang The disease has a lot to do with the weather to some extent. Now it's dog days, the weather is sultry, and diseases will become more popular. Chinese medicine reminds that three diseases in high temperature and midsummer need to be prevented most! Let's see which three diseases need special attention!

In summer, patients with body heat, headache, no sweat, chills, joint pain and loose stools often go to the hospital, mainly because they are too greedy for cold and have a cold. Patients with yin and midsummer fever sometimes have high fever, which is fierce. At this time, the body's temperature regulation function is hindered, and heat-clearing and detoxification or antibiotics are useless. The method of dispelling cold and dampness must be adopted, and severe cases should be hospitalized in time.

Therefore, in summer, be careful not to be greedy for cold and avoid cold, so as to avoid yin and heat.

Second, prevent stroke.

At present, the number of cases of heatstroke is relatively reduced, while the incidence of stroke has increased in summer, even higher than in winter.

Some research data show that the blood flow of human body is 3~4 times higher than normal in high temperature days. If the elderly are already arteriosclerosis, the toughness of blood vessels is reduced, and the fragile blood vessels cannot withstand the impact of rapid blood flow. Once the blood vessels burst, there will be a stroke. It can be manifested as stroke, eye wind caused by fundus artery rupture, or ear stroke caused by sudden deafness caused by ear capillary rupture.

Some old people have been dehydrated because of decreased taste, but they don't feel thirsty, and they don't replenish water in time after sweating. Due to insufficient water supply, insufficient blood volume and increased blood viscosity, cerebral infarction occurred.

Therefore, in summer, the elderly should insist on taking medicine, replenish water in time, adjust the room temperature in time to prevent stroke.

Xunkang The disease has a lot to do with the weather to some extent. Now it's dog days, the weather is sultry, and diseases will become more popular. Chinese medicine reminds that three diseases in high temperature and midsummer need to be prevented most! Let's see which three diseases need special attention!

Cold and dampness prevention

In traditional Chinese medicine, joint pain and numbness are called arthralgia, which is considered to be arthralgia caused by wind, cold and dampness. In summer, people work in places where the room temperature is too low, or are blown by air-conditioning fans to catch cold in their necks and shoulders, so that the neck and shoulders are attacked by pathogenic wind, cold and dampness, and the neck muscles are stiff and sore. Or stay in a cold and humid environment for too long, and the evil of cold and dampness invades the shoulders, elbows and knee joints, causing shoulder, elbow and knee joint lesions.

Some young women like to wear navel shirts and drink cold drinks in summer, so they are prone to symptoms such as loose stools, greasy mouth and loss of appetite. Traditional Chinese medicine calls it cold-dampness trapping the spleen and stomach, and it is also a common cold-dampness disease in summer.

Therefore, although it is hot in summer, it should not be too cold and humid, which will turn into cold and dampness.

From the above, it can be seen that three diseases need to be prevented most in hot summer. Do a good job in disease prevention, reduce diseases and enjoy a healthy summer.

2. Symptoms of heatstroke

1, symptoms of threatened heatstroke

The body temperature is normal or slightly increased (37.5℃), which is characterized by dizziness, dizziness, tinnitus, nausea, vomiting, chest tightness, palpitation, thirst, sweating and inattention. If it is moved to a cool and ventilated place in time and supplemented with water and salt, it can be recovered in a short time.

2, mild heatstroke symptoms

The body temperature is often above 38 degrees. In addition to dizziness and thirst, there are often manifestations such as flushing, sweating and burning skin, or cold limbs, pale face, decreased blood pressure and accelerated pulse. If handled in time, it can often be recovered within a few hours.

3. Symptoms of severe heatstroke

As the name implies, it is the most serious type of heatstroke, and it will be life-threatening if it is not treated in time. This kind of heatstroke can be divided into four types: heat spasm, heat exhaustion, heatstroke and heatstroke.

Symptoms and characteristics of heatstroke: this kind of heatstroke mostly occurs in the elderly and people who can't adapt to the high temperature for a while. The main symptoms are dizziness, headache, palpitation, thirst, nausea, vomiting, cold skin, decreased blood pressure, syncope or confusion. At this time, the body temperature is normal or slightly higher.

Symptoms and characteristics of heatstroke: The cause of this kind of heatstroke is just like its name, because under the direct irradiation of the scorching sun, strong sunlight penetrates the skin and skull of the head and causes brain cell damage, which in turn causes brain tissue congestion and edema; Because the main injury is the head, the initial discomfort is severe headache, nausea and vomiting, irritability, and then coma and convulsions may occur.

Symptoms and characteristics of heatstroke: Some people have been engaged in manual labor in a high temperature environment for a long time, and the body produces too much heat, but the heat dissipation is insufficient, resulting in a sharp rise in body temperature. At the beginning of the onset, a lot of cold sweat broke out, followed by no sweat, shallow breathing, rapid pulse, restlessness, confusion and decreased blood pressure, which gradually developed into coma with limb convulsions; Severe cases can produce brain edema, pulmonary edema, heart failure and so on.
