Causes of heart attack: Along with cold, cold winds have made the condition of people worse. From the mountains to Delhi NCR, the condition of cold is the same. However, if we believe the weather department, this is just a trailer, the picture is yet to come. Experts are predicting record-breaking cold this year.

Although everyone likes the cold weather, but even a little carelessness during this time can cause great harm to health. Our heart is most at risk from this. If we look at the statistics, the cases of heart attack start increasing rapidly in severe cold. The reason for this is cold weather. Due to cold, blood vessels shrink and blood supply slows down. Blood pressure becomes high and the risk of heart attack increases significantly, in this, there are more reports of heart attacks in the morning.

In such a situation, some things should be kept in mind that whenever you get out of the quilt, be it night or morning, do not get up suddenly, take some time for this. Actually, in cold weather the blood becomes thick and if you get up immediately, then many times the blood is not able to reach the heart and brain. The result can be heart attack and stroke. Whenever you have to get up from the bed, first sit up for 20 to 30 seconds, after that keep your legs hanging down for about 1 minute. After this wear a jacket or sweater and then get up. This will keep the blood circulation right.
