The Dhaka Times Desk Various studies have revealed that many people are affected by other heart problems besides cardiac arrest during the winter season. Many people have heart failure. What to do with such a problem?
Recently, it is seen that this heart disease is the cause of death of many young people. Many people in their 40s and even in their 30s are suffering from heart attacks. Ignoring the symptoms of heart attack or irregularities in living can be the cause, as well as change in weather can be one of the causes of this heart attack.
Although there is no very specific evidence, many believe that sudden changes in temperature affect the heart as well. Many studies have shown that many people are affected by other heart problems besides cardiac arrest during the winter season. Many people have heart failure. In winter, the 'sympathetic activation' of the nervous system increases a lot in our body. Therefore, the tendency of blood vessels to narrow also increases. This is called 'vasoconstriction'. If this happens, the blood pressure in the body increases. So our heart starts working twice as hard to pump blood throughout the body. When the outside temperature drops too much, it becomes difficult for the body to maintain its normal temperature. It can lead to hypothermia which also damages the blood vessels of the heart. In people who already have heart disease, their body also struggles to adapt to this situation.
On top of that, the body's need for oxygen also increases in winter. Vasoconstriction can cause blood vessels to narrow. Therefore less oxygen reaches the heart. It also increases the risk of heart disease.
Usually everyone gets a little more cozy when winter hits. Desire for walking or exercise decreases. Changes in eating habits also come on it. Winter season means picnic one day, wedding the next day. So there is a lot of irregularity in eating and drinking. Due to which the level of cholesterol in the body increases. The risk of heart disease increases.
