Let's take a look at what diseases the first frost needs to prevent.

1, diseases to be prevented in the first frost

1, hypertension

Expert tip: First of all, it is necessary to increase or decrease clothes in the morning and evening to prevent catching cold; Secondly, increase physical activity appropriately and take regular rest to prevent excessive fatigue; Thirdly, people with a history of hypertension should always measure their blood pressure and adjust the dose in time; Finally, we should pay attention to the diet structure, eat less and more meals, eat low-salt food, do not smoke or drink, and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.

Elderly people suffering from cardiovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease had better take nitroglycerin, quick-acting jiuxin pills and other drugs with them so as to take them as soon as possible when they are sick.

2. Arthritis

Suffering from cold is one of the important causes of arthritis, especially the pain, swelling and joint stiffness of patients with wind-cold-dampness arthritis will increase with the decrease of temperature, and some patients with stable condition are prone to relapse.

Expert tip: Patients with arthritis, lumbar spondylosis and cervical spondylosis must keep warm when the weather turns cold. Cyclists can prevent their joints from getting cold by wearing knee pads and elbow pads. More sunshine and proper functional exercise are also helpful to the health of joints.

3. Vascular diseases

When the temperature drops, some elderly people who are inactive will have leg pain and leg swelling. Most people will think that they have a cold. In fact, this may be a manifestation of lower extremity vascular disease in the elderly.

Especially arteriosclerosis obliterans and deep venous thrombosis of lower limbs, because their symptoms are similar to arthritis, they are easily mistaken for arthritis attacks by patients. However, if accompanied by pain, chills or intermittent claudication, it is best to go to the hospital for orthopedics and general surgery.

Expert tip: Both vascular diseases may lead to insufficient oxygen supply, pain, chills in lower limbs, color change, hypoesthesia, ulcer or gangrene. Diagnosis can be made by means of examination, such as color Doppler ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging of lower limbs.

4. Cerebral hemorrhage

Studies have shown that if the temperature drops to MINUS 5℃, the death rate of stroke per million people will reach 4.8 per day, while the death rate at 17℃ is 3.2. The reason is that cold stimulation can make blood vessels contract suddenly, raise blood pressure, rupture fragile cerebral vessels and cause cerebral hemorrhage. Cold can easily increase blood viscosity and cause cerebral thrombosis.

Expert tip: Middle-aged and elderly people who usually suffer from hypertension, hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia must pay attention to keep warm in cold weather, increase clothes and warm facilities in time, and soak their feet with hot water before going to bed.

Once symptoms such as chest tightness, dizziness, lethargy and numbness of one limb appear, patients should attach great importance to it and go to the hospital in time.

5, anorectal diseases

After the weather turns cold, northerners living in the northeast have the habit of eating spicy food, and many men also like to drink some white wine to warm themselves up. However, if it is not controlled, it is easy to cause anorectal diseases such as internal hemorrhoid bleeding or anal fissure.

Expert tip: Eat moderately, reduce the intake of high protein, high fat and irritating food, especially don't drink too much; Keep a good optimistic attitude and strengthen regular daily exercise.

Once you feel uncomfortable, you should see a doctor in time. Don't think that it doesn't matter if you have some blood, just "carry it" to avoid aggravating your illness and delaying treatment.
