Adopt methods of protection in cold
Do not leave exercise under any circumstances. Do yoga, meditation etc. indoors in winter. Reduce salt and water intake. Due to lack of sweating there is no deficiency in the body. Monitor BP regularly. If BP is persistently high, consult a cardiologist. Take steam with hot water for two minutes before sleeping. This will provide relief to high blood pressure, diabetes and heart patients.

If symptoms of infection appear, immediately use antibiotics as per doctor’s advice. Do not, under any circumstances, skip any medically advised medication.

People with high blood pressure should avoid jogging in the morning, as the risk of heart attack is 50 percent higher on cold mornings. Apart from heart diseases, severe cold also increases the cases of respiratory tract infections, such as asthma, bronchitis along with chest pain.

The complaint of shortness of breath should not be ignored at all during cold weather. Shortness of breath can also be caused by infection in the lungs. If someone suddenly starts short of breath even while sitting, he should be taken to the doctor immediately. Even a little carelessness can be fatal.
