These types of patients should pay more attention to
1 and patients with coronary heart disease on rainy days to prevent hypoxia
The air humidity is high and the oxygen content is reduced on rainy days. People suffering from hypertension , coronary heart disease or cerebral arteriosclerosis will feel chest tightness , tightness of breath, and dizziness to varying degrees.
You should reduce outdoor activities and take oxygen under the guidance of a doctor.
Patients with a history of heart disease should replenish water in time and drink some boiled water half an hour before going to bed, after waking up in the middle of the night and after getting up in the morning.
2. Asthma patients should prevent allergens.
When thunderstorm weather is low, allergens floating in the air will increase. At the same time, the hot and humid environment is suitable for fungal reproduction.
Asthma patients should try to reduce outdoor activities before and after thunderstorms. When it rains, open doors and windows appropriately to allow natural wind and rain to take away allergens.
If you are exposed to the sun or the temperature rises after a rain, you should wear a mask when going out to prevent allergies.
3. Patients with gastrointestinal diseases should pay attention to their diet.
Temperatures will drop quickly during thunderstorms. People with poor spleen and stomach are prone to colds in their stomachs, leading to the symptoms of " spleen deficiency and dampness " often said in traditional Chinese medicine.
Therefore, we must avoid catching cold and pay attention to drinking water and dietary hygiene.
