The most terrible ten days, 10 kinds of chronic diseases are very likely to break out

August 16, 2016 is about to enter the "autumn tiger" season! The autumn tiger is the first Geng day after the beginning of autumn, which is also the last of the three hot days, commonly known as the last dog days. The autumn tiger means that although the climate will become hot again after the beginning of autumn, it is as fierce and overbearing as a tiger, hence the name "autumn tiger".

According to the meteorological department, due to the changes in the entire atmospheric circulation, the country will experience hot weather until late August this year, and the average temperature will remain high. Even in September, "high temperature weather" will often occur. In a word:

This year's "autumn tiger" is about to show its power! !

"It's chilly in the morning and scorching hot at noon" is the most appropriate sentence to describe the changeable weather in the "autumn tiger" season.

The arrival of the autumn heat causes the temperature to rise. People are often not used to the sudden changes in temperature and are prone to catching colds, getting angry, and feeling hot. Moreover, old people often say, "If you don't spend the hot autumn well, you will get sick easily." In fact, this statement is true. Modern doctors have also found that the 10 most common diseases are contracted during these 10 days of the hot autumn!

These 10 diseases are most likely to occur in the autumn!

1. Cardiovascular disease - can easily kill you

The sultry and high temperature weather of "autumn tiger" will cause the human body to sweat profusely, lose water in the body, and increase blood viscosity, leading to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as thrombosis, myocardial infarction, and stroke; at the same time, in a high temperature environment, the human body's sympathetic nerves are excited, the heart rate accelerates, and the coronary arteries constrict, increasing the risk of coronary heart disease.

2. Heat stroke: Severe cases have a mortality rate of up to 60%

In the "hot autumn" weather, heat stroke is not uncommon. Among all types of heatstroke, the most serious one is called "heat stroke", which has a mortality rate of up to 60%. It is the heatstroke with the most serious clinical manifestations and the highest mortality rate. Many people know little about this type of heat stroke, and once it occurs, there are many fatal cases.

3. Pneumonia: the most common time of the year

Many people believe that respiratory diseases are more likely to occur in winter, but data show that in the hot and humid weather of the "autumn tiger", the incidence of respiratory diseases such as pneumonia is higher than the annual average. Especially some elderly people should be extra careful.

With the change of seasons, hot and rainy weather makes people's immunity low. At the same time, using fans and air conditioners, the large temperature difference between indoor and outdoor leads to poor body adaptability, which is the main cause of inducing respiratory infections and causing pneumonia.

4. Wind-dry cold - dry mouth and nose

The autumn heat is here, and the throat and nose are the first to feel the autumn, becoming tight and dry. As summer turns to autumn, the hot and humid weather turns dry, which is also the peak period for wind-dry colds.

In addition to the common cold symptoms of wind-dryness cold, namely headache, swollen throat, and nasal congestion, a more obvious difference is "dryness". The throat is dry and tight, and even the cough is a dry cough without phlegm.

5. Facial paralysis: Sweating all over the face makes you more prone to facial paralysis

During the “autumn tiger” period, there is another most common disease – facial paralysis! As the weather turns cooler in the morning and evening, wind and cold invade the face, causing facial neuritis, also known as facial paralysis. The autumn wind is also known as the "evil wind" or the "thief wind". If the wind blows excessively during this period of time, it will often cause facial nerve paralysis, and in severe cases, the mouth and eyes will become crooked. It is recommended that during the "autumn tiger" period, you should avoid using cold wind and let the body cool down naturally.

6. Autumn prickly heat - more difficult to treat than heat prickly heat

As we enter the "autumn heat", although the weather is not so hot in the morning and evening, many people have developed small bumps on their bodies, such as foreheads and thighs - this is "autumn prickly heat". Autumn prickly heat is more difficult to treat than summer prickly heat. Autumn prickly heat is very similar to eczema, but is not as easy to cure as summer heat rash. As the saying goes, "cover up in spring and keep cold in autumn", you should keep yourself exposed to the cold during this period to avoid getting "various diseases".

7. Enteritis - if you don't pay attention, you will suffer

During the "autumn tiger" period, the human body's digestive function weakens, and its own resistance and adaptability to the climate decrease; at the same time, the hot and humid weather is suitable for the reproduction of bacteria, so diarrhea and enteritis become the most common digestive system diseases during the "autumn tiger" period.

8. Pink eye: if one person is infected, the whole family will suffer

Pink eye, also known as acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis, is the most common eye disease during the "autumn tiger" season. If one person is infected with conjunctivitis, the whole family will suffer. The main way of transmission of "pink eye" is through contact. If someone in the family is infected with pink eye, sharing towels, handkerchiefs, washbasins, water, etc. will cause family members to be infected. Even shaking hands with someone with conjunctivitis and then rubbing your eyes can cause infection.

9. Ulcers - mouth full of ulcers after the beginning of autumn

I believe many people have a very painful problem recently - oral ulcers! Oral ulcers are most likely to occur after the beginning of autumn, during the "autumn tiger" period.

This is because the human body has become accustomed to the characteristics of the summer climate. When the weather suddenly changes from sultry to cool, the body needs a period of adaptation. During this period, the balance of yin and yang in the body is disrupted, and excessive heat accumulated in the body needs to be discharged. If it cannot be discharged in time, internal heat syndrome will occur, which will manifest itself in repeated oral ulcers.

10. Tonsillitis: Pain so severe that you can’t swallow

As seasons change, the human body's immune system weakens. Therefore, during the "autumn heat", the tonsils are most susceptible to bacterial and viral infections, which can cause tonsillitis. Tonsillitis is often accompanied by high fever, headache, sore throat, etc. You may also be unable to swallow because of the pain.
