Cold wave in Gorakhpur has increased the problems of everyone from children to the elderly. Patients suffering from shortness of breath and high blood pressure are facing the most problems. The number of such patients in OPD has increased.
There was some sunshine on Sunday afternoon, but the pain of cold did not subside. People kept shivering due to cold winds. People sitting in the rooms also felt the cold. The sudden worsening weather has increased the number of respiratory patients.
Dr. Rajesh Kumar, senior physician of the district hospital, says that special care should be taken in the changing weather. Those whose blood pressure remains irregular should also take special care in this season. Do not light the fireplace in a closed room. If blowers and heaters are on, then keep the skylight open to let air into the room.
Take special care of this
- If you are a patient of respiratory disease, diabetes or high blood pressure, keep getting regular checkups done.
- Elderly and children are more affected by weather changes, so take special care.
- If you are going out of the house, take special care of warm clothes and cover your ears.
- If you are a respiratory patient then maintain distance from bonfires and fireplaces.
