Bath water is too hot for myocardial infarction!
Mr. Li is 60 years old and likes to take a hot bath. Especially in winter, often bubble for an hour or two, feel can dredge meridians, prevent disease. A few days ago, when Mr. Li took a bath, he suddenly felt his chest was stuffy. He thought it was too stuffy in the bathroom, so he opened the window. After a while, instead of relieving the chest tightness, the chest began to ache. At this time, he called his family, who immediately called the emergency number and sent Mr. Li to the hospital.

Some people like to take a bath in winter with high water temperature and long bath time, but for the elderly, due to the poor elasticity of blood vessels, the body's regulatory function also declines. If there is arteriosclerosis and stenosis, it is easy to form thrombus. And the water vapor in the bathroom is more, sultry and airless. In this environment, people's metabolism level is high and bathing time is too long, which can cause brain and myocardial hypoxia, lead to cerebral hemorrhage, myocardial infarction and so on.
Generally, the temperature of bath water should be adjusted according to the seasonal conditions. In summer, choose warm water bath (above 33 ℃, below normal temperature), and in winter, choose hot water bath (close to or slightly higher than normal temperature). But the elderly, especially the elderly patients with coronary heart disease, should pay special attention to that the temperature of bath water should be the same as that of body temperature, and it is better not to exceed 40 ℃. When taking a bath, you should adjust the water temperature and then pour it on your body. Bath time is also controlled at about 15 minutes, try not to exceed half an hour, and pay attention to prevent falls.
