In late autumn, with a large temperature difference between day and night, the risk of sudden cardiovascular disease also increases. Doctors remind that if you experience chest tightness, chest pain, palpitations, lower limb swelling, as well as unexplained fatigue, shortness of breath, or crooked mouth corners, unclear speech, and other symptoms during activities that persist and cannot be relieved, please seek medical attention immediately. Hypertension, coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, cardiogenic cerebral infarction, heart failure, etc. all belong to the category of cardiovascular diseases. ”Wang Jingjing, chief physician of the Department of Cardiology at the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University, said that as the temperature drops, blood vessels are prone to contraction and spasm when exposed to cold, leading to an increase in blood pressure and exacerbating the burden on the heart. In addition, failure to replenish water in a timely manner, blindly "sticking to autumn fat", and intense emotional fluctuations may all trigger cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular disease patients and those with cardiovascular disease risk factors need to strengthen their protection. Doctors suggest adjusting clothing according to temperature changes, reducing outdoor activities in adverse weather conditions, and avoiding exposure to cold in areas such as the head, neck, abdomen, and feet; Pay attention to a balanced diet and adhere to the dietary habits of less salt, less oil, and less sugar; Engage in moderate exercise, such as walking or practicing Tai Chi. If the outdoor temperature is low, exercise indoors; Moderate hydration and drinking water in small amounts multiple times; Maintain a calm and optimistic attitude. If there have been abnormalities in blood sugar, blood pressure, and blood lipids in the past, these indicators should be monitored regularly. If there are significant fluctuations, seek medical attention promptly and do not increase or decrease medication on your own. ”Wang Jingjing said. Doctors remind that patients with coronary heart disease can use antiplatelet drugs to prevent thrombosis under the guidance of doctors, and use statins to stabilize plaques and lower blood lipids; Patients with severe conditions need to have the severity of coronary artery disease evaluated by a specialist to improve cardiac function and enhance prognosis.
