Improper heat protection can make us susceptible to facial nerve palsy, stroke...

On hot days, habit Turning on the air conditioner too cold is a dangerous mistake of many people. This makes people susceptible to heat shock, causing fatigue, nausea, headaches, facial nerve paralysis... An example in 2019, Hung Vuong General Hospital received the case of an 8-year-old boy with right facial nerve paralysis due to his family using an air conditioner that was too cold while sleeping.

A huge risk when overusing air conditioning is stroke. Immediately stepping out of an air-conditioned room after a shower will negatively affect blood circulation, causing blood to flow slowly to the brain, affecting heart rate and blood pressure.

According to Dr. Hoang Tuyet Suong (Tam Anh General Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City), people with underlying medical conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, etc. have a higher risk of stroke on hot days. The temperature difference factor (going out in the sun and then going home to sit in the air conditioner; going out in the air conditioner and then going out in the sun) can increase the risk of stroke.

According to experts, it is best to sit in front of a fan when entering a room from the sun. Then turn on the air conditioner at a high temperature and gradually lower it.

To avoid thermal shock, you should not turn on the air conditioner lower than 5 degrees Celsius than the outside temperature. Except on days when the temperature is hotter than 35 degrees Celsius, you can set the air conditioner at 28 degrees Celsius.

If you are sitting in an air-conditioned room, 30 minutes before leaving the room, you should turn off the air conditioner, open the door to let the air circulate, and help the body gradually adapt to the outside temperature.

Besides, overusing air conditioning all day is also not good, because research shows that the air in a closed room can become 2-5 times more toxic than the air outside. Therefore, you should use electric fans and air conditioners alternately, to ensure the room is airy, with a source of clean air entering the house.

- Avoid sitting under air conditioning after bathing : After bathing, body temperature often drops. Sitting under a fan or air conditioning immediately after bathing can affect blood circulation and heart rate, causing the risk of stroke and stroke, especially for people with weak resistance. Instead, after bathing, dry your body and avoid lying under air conditioning to ensure your body gradually adapts to the room temperature.
