These habits invite brain stroke in winter…bathing with hot water or going to the washroom at night, do not make these mistakes!

West Champaran. Winter time has come. Cold winds and falling temperatures have increased many problems of the people. In the last few days, many such cases have come to light in which middle and old age people have suffered brain stroke, paralysis and heart stroke. According to experts, the period from November to March is when the possibility of these serious health related problems becomes extremely high. The biggest reason for this is the sudden drop in body temperature.

Do not make this mistake after bathing with hot water
Bettiah’s family medicine doctor Devesh Chatterjee, with his experience of about one and a half decade, says that this condition mainly arises when a person immediately comes out in the open after taking a bath with hot water, or comes out of the quilt and blanket to go to the washroom at night. In both these situations, the body temperature is suddenly affected, which affects the blood flow i.e. blood pressure. Problems like brain hemorrhage and heart attack arise due to affected blood flow.

Chances of brain stroke and heart attack increase in cold.
Let us understand it in a little more simple language. Actually, blood vessels shrink in winter, due to which the blood supply slows down. In such a situation, blood pressure increases and there is a possibility of heart attack. Similarly, due to thickening of blood during cold weather, sometimes blood is not able to reach the heart and brain properly.

As a result, problems like heart attack and brain stroke occur. Because in winter, when we take bath with hot water in a closed room, the body temperature remains higher than the outside temperature. But as soon as we go out, the cold air starts reducing the body temperature rapidly, due to which the blood vessels shrink.

Do not go to the washroom immediately after waking up at night.
This is the time when blood pressure starts increasing and the problem of heart stroke can occur. According to doctors, to prevent this, after bathing with hot water, one should cover the body with clothes and wait for some time, and then go out in the open. Similarly, whenever you come out of the quilt or blanket at night or in the morning, do not get up suddenly. Because the blood becomes thick in cold and after waking up suddenly, sometimes the blood is not able to reach the heart or brain. This increases the risk of heart attack and brain stroke.

Do this work before leaving bed
To avoid these situations, one should sit for some time before leaving the bed. After sitting for about 40 seconds, hang your legs down for at least 1 minute and then get up wearing warm clothes. This will maintain proper blood flow in the body and reduce the chances of stroke. According to Doctor Devesh, two conditions of paralysis occur due to brain stroke.

In one condition, the blood supply to the brain is greatly reduced, which is called ischemic. In this there is a possibility of the person’s survival. In the second situation, the veins of the brain burst, which is called hemorrhagic. In such a situation, the patient’s chances of survival are very less.

This is a very dangerous time
It is worth noting that in winter, the possibility of stroke is highest between 3 pm to 6 am. In such a situation, there is a need to take special care while doing any work during this time. Especially the elders of the house should take special care at this time because people of this age face more problems.
