The drop in temperatures brings weaker immunity, these 4 diseases appear

In addition to viruses and bacteria that are circulating these days in collectives, you can get some diseases and colds because of the cold weather. This also happens because of a simple reason! Cold weather weakens our body, which prevents our immune system from fighting disease and functioning normally. These are four health conditions that, if not treated in time, can cause even bigger problems:

Blood clotting

Sudden temperature changes cause heat stress to the body and it has to "work" harder to maintain its constant temperature. Research has shown that this increases the occurrence of blood clots during the winter. The study authors, from a hospital in Nice, France, suggest that winter respiratory infections may make people more susceptible to blood clots, such as and narrowing of blood vessels.

These are the signs of a blood clot:

 pain or tenderness
 skin that is warm to the touch
 rash or blotchy skin

2. Flu

Flu season is off to a great start and it is well known that it increases with the arrival of cold weather. The flu virus is transmitted through droplets released through sneezing and coughing. After the virus infects a person, it takes 1-2 days for symptoms such as fever, headache, dry cough, stuffy nose, fever, muscle and joint pain, loss of appetite and general body weakness to appear. Flu gets worse in the winter months and cold weather can worsen its common symptoms, which are very similar to those of a very bad cold, which includes a temperature above 38 degrees Celsius.

3. Asthma

Moti i ftohtë është posaçërisht i rrezikshëm për njerëzit të cilët vuajnë nga astma. Para së gjithash, për shkak të temperaturës së ulët, ftohjes dhe gripit, lagështisë dhe mykut, mund të shkaktojë sulme astme, madje edhe të çojë në ngufatje. Kjo zakonisht pasohet me inflamacion të rrugëve të frymëmarrjes, kollë, frymëmarrje në gjoks dhe vështirësi në frymëmarrje. Kjo është arsyeja pse është e rëndësishme që astmatikët të kenë gjithmonë një inhalator, ose një pompë dhe një shall, të cilat do të ngrohin ajrin e ftohtë para se ta merrni frymë. Gjithashtu, duhet të shmangin dhomat e çrregullta, të ftohta dhe të lagështa.

4. Sulmi në zemër

People who are exposed to cold weather are more likely to experience a heart attack, a recent study showed. Swedish researchers from Lund University in Sweden found that the average number of heart attacks per day was significantly higher when the weather was cold compared to warm weather. The risk of heart attack is thought to be higher in cold weather because the body reacts to the cold by constricting superficial blood vessels. This reduces skin heat and increases blood flow through the arteries. The body also begins to shiver and the heart rate increases to warm you up.
