Beware: What diseases are the elderly susceptible to in October?

　　1. Stroke. Research believes that late October to early November is the first peak period for hypertension. clinical Statistics show that more than 90% of stroke patients have a history of hypertension. Therefore, the obvious increase in stroke patients at this time is closely related to the low temperature and high air pressure. To prevent stroke, we must pay attention to the treatment of primary diseases such as high blood pressure and do a good job in the family. first aid and care.

　　2. Cold cold . Starting from late October, as the temperature drops, the number of cold and flu patients will increase. Research suggests that cold viruses become more pathogenic when temperatures drop and the air is dry. When the ambient temperature is lower than 15°C, the disease resistance of the upper respiratory tract decreases. Therefore, catching cold is an important cause of colds. It is necessary to change clothes in a timely manner and strengthen exercise , enhance physical fitness.

　　3. Pneumonia. Clinical data show that in October elderly Pneumonia morbidity and mortality generally increase dramatically. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this is caused by autumn dryness damaging the lungs. It has the characteristics of insidious onset, atypical symptoms, rapid disease change, many complications, and high mortality. Therefore, early detection, early treatment and early prevention are necessary.

　　4、Stomach disease relapse. According to clinical statistics, October is the peak period for the recurrence of chronic gastritis and gastric and duodenal ulcers. The main reason is that when the temperature drops, the histamine in the blood increases after the human body is cold, the secretion of gastric acid increases, the gastrointestinal tract undergoes spasmodic contractions, and the resistance decreases, leading to the recurrence of gastric diseases. Therefore, daily meals should be warm, soft and easy to digest.

　　5、asthma Disease relapses. Asthma patients are extremely sensitive to changes in meteorological factors such as temperature and humidity in October, and weak resistance can easily cause upper respiratory tract infections and induce asthma. In addition, a large increase in allergenic substances in food and air is also an important reason for the susceptibility of the disease. Therefore, we must first understand the allergens that cause asthma attacks and try to avoid contact with them.

　　6. Relapse of old chronic bronchitis. In October, as the weather turns cooler, it is easy to cause upper respiratory tract infections. According to statistics, more than 90% of old patients with chronic bronchitis develop acute attacks after catching a cold. Therefore, comprehensive measures should be taken to actively prevent colds ； It is also necessary to regulate diet scientifically, use appropriate drug prevention and treatment, improve the living environment, avoid smoke and dust pollution, and keep indoor air circulating and fresh.
