The Dhaka Times Desk A sudden attack of epidemic at the end of the year can spoil all our plans. Therefore, the risk of heart disease may increase.

This cold weather is quite harmful to health, especially for those with heart problems, more so. Doctors warn that as the temperature starts to drop, a person's risk of a heart attack also starts to increase. In winter, the blood vessels of the heart become slightly constricted. This further reduces blood flow to the heart, which can also increase the risk of heart attack or stroke. But you can avoid this risk by taking few precautions.
# The difference in temperature during this time can also cause 'hypothermia', which can damage blood vessels in the heart. So a new exercise routine needs to be started with a doctor's advice.
# Keeping your body warm is a very important task during this time. However, the body should not be overheated. Because blood vessels can also dilate, especially in people with heart problems, low blood pressure can also develop. When blood pressure drops, blood supply to the heart can also decrease. Therefore, if you feel sweaty, take off the warm winter clothes.
# Alcohol, nicotine and caffeine should be avoided even if you are indulging in New Year's Eve. They can narrow the blood vessels and that can also cause heart problems.
# Heart attack warning signs are - shortness of breath, irregular heartbeat, chest discomfort or painful feeling, nausea, dizziness, sweating etc. If any such symptoms appear at the end of the year, consult a doctor without delay.
