Be careful, don't neglect! If you suffer from heart disease, here's what to do when it's cold

The cold is a big challenge for people suffering from heart disease.

In the case of coronary disease, cold temperatures can promote cardiac ischemia, which can even cause a heart attack.

The impact of low temperatures on heart health

When the body is in a cold environment, then it has to adapt to it, to maintain the internal temperature of the body.

How the body adapts involves several physiological changes that are challenging for people with heart disease.

Cold temperatures cause problems such as:

Increased heart rate,

Increased blood pressure,

Higher tendency to thrombosis

The need for care is higher in winter

People suffering from heart disease should follow the following five tips:

Minimal exposure to cold

Significantly limit the time spent in cold environments and if you must go out, dress warmly from head to toe.

Physical exertion in outdoor spaces and in cold environments can be very damaging to the heart.

Do not overdo the heat

If you wear thick clothes and perform physical activity, you will strain your heart.

Blood vessels will suddenly dilate and blood pressure will drop.

If you are outdoors and notice that you are sweating, then this is a danger sign.

According to information from AgroWeb.org, the flu is very dangerous for people who suffer from heart disease.

Before taking medications with your head, consult your doctor first.

Alcohol dilates the blood vessels in the skin and makes you feel warm.

But on the other hand, all the necessary heat is absorbed by the vital organs putting you in danger.
