Nine Diseases That Can Make Them Worse
1. Heart Disease
When the temperature rises, the organism sends more blood to the skin to ward off the heat.
The heart must work harder, and this can be dangerous for people with coronary arteries. As a result, the risk of heart attack or stroke increases.
2. Diabetes
The hot days are related to more hospitalizations for both type 1 diabetes and type 2.
Heat can cause blood - sugar swings. On the one hand, insulin can be absorbed faster, causing hypoglycemia.
Dehydration, on the other hand, increases glucose concentration in the blood, favouring hyperglycemia.
3. Multiple sclerosis
In people with multiple sclerosis, body temperature growth can make symptoms worse. This phenomenon is known as the Uhthoff phenomenon.
Heat prevents transmission of nerve impulses and can increase fatigue, muscle weakness, numbness, and difficulties in concentration.
4. Astma and BPOK
Not only cold air but also hot, wet air irritates respiratory ways.
High temperatures are accompanied by more emergency visits, hospital stays and asthma deterioration and BPOK, as hot air narrows respiratory routes.
5. Lupus
Lupus are particularly sensitive to the heat.
High temperatures and humidity can increase inflammation in the organism, increasing the pain and swelling of joints as well as fatigue.
6. Kidney Problems
The cow increases the risk of kidney stones because dehydration makes urine more concentrated and favors the formation of crystals
Prolonged exposure to high temperatures may also speed up the deterioration of kidney function in patients with chronic renal diseases.
7. Arthritis
High temperatures, especially when accompanied by moisture, can add inflammation and pain to people with osteoarthritis and soil.
Dehydration increases the concentration of uric acid in the blood, favouring the formation of crystals on knots and the deterioration of soil crises.
8. Anxiety and Depression
Very hot days are related to increased cases of mental health emergencies and even increased suicide.
9. Migraine
Studies do not yet give a final answer, but changes in temperature and weather pressure can cause migraine attacks.
During the summer, heat increases air pollution near the earth, while bright sunlight can activate the nerves associated with migraines.
Dehydration is also a major factor that can foster or exacerbate a migraine crisis.
