After the harsh winter, we welcome the spring season when the grass grows and the orioles fly. However, before we can fully enjoy the bright spring sunshine, we suddenly face rainy and cold weather. People refer to this phenomenon of fluctuating temperatures as 'late spring cold'. The recent week of 'late spring cold' has been fierce, coupled with rainy weather, making the temperature unpredictable. This early spring season, which is characterized by fluctuating warmth and cold, is a peak time for various epidemics and colds, so everyone should pay attention.
'Late spring cold' period
The following four types of diseases cannot be ignored
'Late spring cold' easily induces
or exacerbates symptoms of osteoarthritis
Respiratory diseases:
Cold, asthma, chronic bronchitis
Spring is a peak season for respiratory diseases, especially for the elderly and children who have lower immunity. When the body is stimulated by cold air, it can lead to a decrease in airway immunity and impaired function, resulting in increased airway reactivity, which can cause symptoms such as coughing, chest tightness, and even asthma and difficulty breathing.
It is recommended that individuals with weak constitutions or relevant medical histories pay attention to temperature changes, adjust their clothing appropriately, and practice moderate 'spring wrapping'. They should keep warm in the morning and evening, wear masks when going out, reduce visits to crowded places during the pandemic, and maintain personal hygiene.
Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases:
Coronary heart disease, acute myocardial infarction, stroke
The temperature difference between morning and evening in spring is significant, which can easily lead to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular issues. For example, it can cause acute myocardial ischemia, trigger angina, or even acute myocardial infarction. Additionally, it can stimulate the nerves that control vascular activity, causing sustained spasms of small arteries, leading to a sudden increase in blood pressure and increasing the risk of stroke.
It is recommended that the elderly, individuals with 'three highs' (high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high cholesterol), and those with relevant medical histories reduce outdoor activities during cold weather and times to avoid sudden cold stimulation that may trigger cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Digestive system diseases:
Acute gastric spasm, gastric ulcer, gastroenteritis
It is recommended that patients with relevant medical histories pay attention to warmth, especially in the abdominal area. In terms of diet, they should focus on warming and nourishing the stomach, drink more hot beverages, eat less cold food, and have meals on time. Ensure adequate sleep and avoid staying up late.
