On a hot summer day, he came back from work sweating profusely and it felt so refreshing to take a cold shower. So he walked to the well without hesitation, drew a scoop of water and poured it down from head to toe... I felt cool instantly. The world is such a beautiful place! However, not long after, he began to feel chest tightness and sweating. A few hours later, he developed cardiogenic shock, his blood pressure continued to drop, he suffered a myocardial infarction, and his heart stopped suddenly. After several rounds of rescue and the use of large amounts of pressor drugs and cardiopulmonary resuscitation, he still passed away regretfully. This is a sad true story! Why does a cold shower in summer have such serious consequences? Under what circumstances should you not take a shower immediately? 1. After a lot of physical labor; After heavy physical labor, you should rest for a while before taking a shower, otherwise it is easy to cause insufficient blood supply to the brain and heart, or even fainting. 2. After drinking; A large amount of glucose is consumed when taking a bath, and drinking alcohol will inhibit liver function and hinder the release of glycogen. Blood sugar cannot be replenished in time when taking a bath, which can easily cause dizziness, fatigue, and in severe cases, it may lead to hypoglycemia coma. 3. When sweating profusely; When people sweat, the blood circulation in the subcutaneous tissue speeds up. If you suddenly take a hot bath, the sweat pores will close immediately, resulting in obstruction of the body's heat dissipation, making it easy to catch a cold, and in severe cases, it can lead to myocardial infarction. 4. After a full meal. Taking a hot bath after a full meal will irritate the skin, causing a large amount of blood to flow to the skin surface, while the blood supply to the abdominal cavity is relatively reduced, leading to hypoglycemia and even fainting. |
