"Doctor, my dad just took a cold shower, why is he gone! ”
Uncle Wu, 68 years old this year, has suffered from high blood pressure for many years, but because Uncle Wu often does not take medicine on time, his blood pressure has been unstable, especially in the cold winter, and his blood pressure is often out of control.
When the daughter saw that the Chinese New Year was approaching, she thought about taking her parents to the city for the New Year, and by the way, she could supervise her father to take medicine. Uncle Wu, who has been in the countryside for most of his life, said that he was unwilling to say anything at first, but his daughter and son-in-law bombed in turn, and even his grandson was sent out to persuade Uncle Wu, so he was willing to move over for a while.
Uncle Wu is in his hometown in the countryside, and he basically only takes a bath once a week in winter, but after all, he lives in his daughter's house, and he smells on his body, so it is not good to play with his grandson.
On this day, when Uncle Wu went to the bathroom to take a bath, he found that there was no hot water, and the whole person was poured cold water. Quickly dry himself and go out, and ask his daughter to help him see what happened to the water heater. Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, he straightened up.
After being sent to the hospital, it was found that Uncle Wu had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage, and after some rescue, the person was still gone, and the culprit who caused the cerebral hemorrhage was the cold shower he took for a few seconds.
oneWinter is coming, and elderly cardiovascular patients are most afraid of these five things
Winter is the high incidence period of cardiovascular diseases, and many middle-aged and elderly people will die in winter, why is this?
Yu Yang, Deputy Chief Physician of the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Peking University First Hospitalnoted that when the weather is cold, it can lead to the bodyVasoconstrictionFluctuations in blood pressureAs a result, the load on the heart increases. And some of themselvesHave underlying medical conditions such as arteriosclerosisWhen blood vessels constrict, they are more likely to have acute plaque rupture, thrombosis, etc., which will be inducedCerebral infarction, myocardial infarction
Especially here at 5 moments, people with high blood pressure should be more careful:
Morning exercise:Early morning is the peak of the day when blood pressure is at its peak, and if you exercise at this time, the risk of accidents increases significantly. Older people should exercise at 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.
Toilet:Sudden getting up while using the toilet can easily cause transient cerebral ischemia, which can lead to dizziness and falls.
Temperature difference:From warm indoor to outdoor, the body does not adjust and adapt to temperature so quickly, which can easily induce large-scale myocardial infarction and even sudden death.
Diet:When the weather is cold, many people will want to eat more supplemental foods, but these foods are often higher in calories and more greasy, and long-term intake will lead to excessive cholesterol intake, which can easily induce angina pectoris and even sudden death.
Bath:Winter bathing is very dangerous for middle-aged and elderly people, because bathing will increase body temperature, heart rate, vasodilation and blood circulation, and change hemodynamics, which is likely to cause hypoperfusion cerebral infarction.
2. Take a bath at these three major moments in winter, beware of the "life-killing bath".
In winter, when the weather is cold, taking a hot bath can not only soothe the fatigue after a busy day, but also get rid of the cold, which is a great enjoyment, but patients with cardiovascular disease take a bath in winter, it is easy to have dangerous situations, especially at these three times, it is best not to take a shower immediately.
1. Take a shower immediately after drinking
Alcohol will inhibit the normal physiological function of the liver, resulting in the inability to convert the stored liver glycogen into glucose and replenish it into the blood, which will cause blood sugar to drop, dizziness, dizziness, general weakness, and shock in severe cases.
2. Take a bath on an empty stomach after meals
It is not suitable for bathing after meals and on an empty stomach, a large amount of blood needs to be concentrated in the stomach for digestion after a full meal, and bathing will disperse the blood in the stomach, which is easy to affect the normal digestion and absorption of food. Fasting is easy to cause hypoglycemia, insufficient blood supply to the brain, and lead to syncope.
3. Take a shower immediately after strenuous exercise
Taking a bath after strenuous exercise will stimulate the body by temperature, which will dilate the blood vessels in the whole body and reduce the blood supply to other organs. When the blood supply to the brain is reduced to a certain extent, it will cause transient hypotension and cerebral ischemia, which may induce fatal accidents for patients with cardiovascular disease.
In addition, the winter climate is cold and dryAtrophy and deterioration of sebaceous secretion function in the elderly, resulting in a lack of sebum on the surface, making the elderly prone to small dandruff and itching. After scratching, it will itch further, forming a vicious circle.
WinterFrequent bathing may damage the barrier, easy to trigger ** itching, therefore, for the elderly, eachTake a bath every 3 to 5 daysIn addition, the bath time should not be too long, 20 minutes of bathing is appropriate, and the rain should be controlled within 10 minutes.
3. To prevent cardiovascular disease in winter, please put away these six tips

When getting up, it is recommended to lie on the bed for a while, and then get up after the body is fully awake to avoid getting up too violently to induce angina pectoris and stroke.
4. Pay attention to keep warm
Cold will cause blood vessels to constrict, spasm, easy to cause insufficient blood supply, leading to embolism, in winter must do a good job of body warmth measures, in time to add clothing.
5. Be emotionally stable
Emotional stability is very important to prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents, don't be angry, irritable and irritable when you encounter things in your daily life, you can take a deep breath to calm yourself down.
6. It is indispensable to take medicine
Patients suffering from cardiovascular disease must take drugs regularly and quantitatively, and cannot stop or increase or decrease the dosage at will, otherwise it is easy to lead to cardiovascular accidents.
In the cold winter, we must take our own protective measures to prevent cardiovascular accidents as much as possible.
