Risk factors for heart failure which are as follows-

High blood pressure:

  • Cold weather can have an effect on bodily function, as the sympathetic nervous system (which helps control the physiological response to stress) may be activated and the catecholamine hormone may be released.
  • This can result in high blood pressure with increased heart rate and decreased responsiveness of blood vessels, forcing the heart to do extra work.
  • For this reason, heart failure patients may have to be hospitalized.

Air Pollution:

  • Cold weather, haze and pollutants tend to settle closer to the ground, increasing the risk of chest infection and breathing problems.
  • Heart failure patients usually experience shortness of breath and pollutants can make those symptoms more severe, which can lead to hospitalization in severe cases.
  • This disease spreads rapidly in winter, don’t forget to ignore it.

Less sweating:

  • Due to low temperature, sweating is reduced.
  • As a result, the body is unable to remove the excess water and due to this water can accumulate in the lungs, which can have a serious impact on the functioning of the heart in heart failure patients.

Vitamin-D deficiency:

  • Vitamin-D, which comes from sunlight, prevents the formation of scar tissue in the heart, which prevents heart failure after a heart attack.
  • Due to not getting the right amount of sunlight in the winter season, reduces the level of vitamin-D, which increases the risk of heart failure.

HOW TO PREVENT IT?

Now, we know that the Heart Attack is common in winters so let’s have some precautions and prevent it.

Heart patients should be careful in cold weather. Keep your blood pressure checked, protect yourself from cold problems like phlegm, cold, flu, etc. and when you are at home, keep yourself warm by taking sunlight or with a hot water bottle.

Along with this, the following lifestyle changes should be made to take care of your heart.

Follow some tips and start caring of your Heart–

Warm clothes are safety guards:

  • In winters, we should take special care of clothes that keep the body warm.
  • When our body is cold, the activity of the nervous system increases and which can increase the blood pressure. It can also make our blood thick.
  • Always keep in mind that your outfit should be according to the season.
  • Wear proper winter clothing’s like Wear Thermals, Sweaters, socks, gloves etc.

Skip the things that make you uncomfortable:

  • If you are outside and feeling uncomfortable, come in immediately and try to make yourself comfortable.
  • At the same time, do not wear clothes that are difficult to separate from the body and that make you uncomfortable.

Yoga and Pranayama:

  • Adopt Yoga and Pranayama for a healthy heart.
  • Limit cardiovascular exercises cycling, brisk walking, running, jogging etc.
  • Stick to your routine and keep practicing different Yoga postures and meditation.
  • But exercise should not be done in excess.
  • Also, keep in mind if there is cold outside you can go for Yoga and pranayama inside your house.

Alcohol is bad

  • Most of the festivals and holidays are made during the winter time, so alcohol can be easily offered to you in public places.
  • It is believed that alcohol keeps the body warm, so even as an excuse, alcohol consumption can be high, which is not at all good for heart health.
  • Therefore, in winter when the risk of heart attack is high, then excessive consumption of alcohol can be fatal.

Don’t go for a walk early in the morning

  • Those people who have had a heart attack once before, should not get out of bed early in the morning.
  • Due to this, the veins constrict due to cold and due to coming out in winter, the body has to work harder to keep itself warm. During this time our heart has to work more.
  • Avoid morning walk instead you can take out some “Sun Time” or exposure to sun is must during winters.

Reduce salt intake

  • By eating salt, water stagnates in the body and this causes swelling in the body.
  • In such a situation, there is a pressure on our heart to pump that water into the body.
  • This situation also increases the risk of Heart attack.
