illness from bathing in air conditioners
Ms. Thu Le (Hanoi) every time she showes or goes into a cool air conditioner, sitting in a chair and drying her hair. After each time like that, she felt an earache, or a shoulder pain, a headache, sometimes an uncomfortable vomiting belly... sometimes it all over her body without understanding what disease she was suffering from.
When she told the doctor about these symptoms, the doctor confirmed that these were mild cold symptoms that she did not know. But if it continues regularly, it will become serious, even sudden, and sudden.
East medicine doctor Quoc Le (Vien Minh Duong Clinic - Hanoi) once provided emergency care to a patient with an intolerant high fever headache. The blood circulation showed 120 times/minute, fever of 40 degrees Celsius, blood pressure dropped to 81/50 ... The patient said that after bathing in the evening, he had not had his head dried, went immediately to the air conditioner room to keep the temperature quite low, felt a throb in the spleen and cold, then gradually had a fever of 38-39 degrees Celsius, headache like a hamstring, pain along the spine... took fever-reducing medicine without quitting. Suddenly remembering to revive her child after 6 days, she also had a similar fever, and the doctor gave her a high allowance to reduce the fever and acupressure to help her recover, so she went to the clinic.
Doctor Quoc Le was acupressuring the scalp when the patient's forehead was gradually lighter, sweating, and then lightening. After acupressure, the headache stopped, the temperature had not dropped to normal, so the doctor prescribed 3 medicine steps to help with the tea to reduce the fever.
According to doctors, bathing in a air conditioner right after bathing, or standing in front of a fan or mechanical fan... is a harmful mistake that many people make in the summer, causing damage to health - especially on days with high temperatures of 34 - 36 degrees Celsius, which can easily have serious consequences because the body suddenly cools down, leading to a cold. Gently, dizziness, headaches, lethargy, fatigue. Heavier can cause a rapid increase in heart rate, steep breathing, then slow heart rate, difficulty breathing and gradually lead to coma, death.
Children and the elderly must be even more careful
After bathing, you go into the air conditioner - similar to just getting in the sun and getting in the cold water right away. The reason is that the sudden difference in temperature will cause the body temperature to drop suddenly, sweat cannot be sweated, causing serious damage to the nerve center, slowing down the blood flow to the brain, hindering the activity of blood pressure and cardiovascular disease...
The situation is even more dangerous for young children, people with weak physical conditions, the elderly, people with a history of cardiovascular disease... so they should be even more careful
According to the analysis of eastward- healing doctor Quoc Le, the season of the low pressure is the most fluid, hot and humid. The metabolism in the human body is strong, the sun gas is released outside, and the am thanh is contained inside. The pores are wide, sweat is secreted a lot to regulate heat making the wind easily penetrate the body.
Doctors have also warned many people but many people are still subjective and take it lightly, so they still have this extremely harmful habit. Washing your hair after 7pm, bathing after 9pm - even bathing in hot water - also has many potential dangers, especially for people with low blood pressure, unstable blood pressure, which can easily lead to serious cerebral anemia, unconsciousness, coma, and high risk of death.
The view that cold does not cause disease is the worst mistake, leading to many cases of sudden death and wrongful death due to sudden cold. Therefore, people should not be subjective with the air conditioner causing sudden cold, or just go into the air conditioner after bathing and sometimes rush in no time.
