The weather continues to be cold, and people's work and life are slowly accompanied by heating. Recently, Jimu News reporters visited a number of hospitals in Jiangcheng and learned that due to staying in the heating room for a long time, ventilation and water replenishment were not in place, many people had symptoms of "heating disease" such as irritability, tight skin, dry nasopharynx, chest tightness, dizziness, sweating, increased blood viscosity, blood pressure change, decreased urine output, weakness and weakness.

Compared with the situation that the vast majority of patients are the elderly and children in the past, more and more young people are suffering from "heating disease". On January 5, experts reminded "heating" to be moderate, control the indoor and outdoor temperature difference and air humidity, pay attention to window ventilation, and avoid "heating disease".

The heated room has a long time to work, and young white-collar workers frequently wake up thirsty in the middle of the night

Mr. Wu, 36, whose family lives in Hankou, is an administrative officer of a unit. Half a month ago, he found himself like last winter, always feeling dry and thirsty, and he would wake up almost every night. Thinking about whether he had drunk less water, he began to drink water frequently, but even so, his thirst was still not effectively alleviated. Usually more health-conscious, he began to search the Internet to see if he was suffering from any disease.

After some comparative study, Mr. Wu began to suspect that his blood sugar was wrong, so he rushed to the emergency department of wuhan fourth hospital, hoping to check his blood sugar in time. After detailed inquiries and relevant examinations, the emergency department doctor who received the consultation found that Mr. Wu's blood sugar was within the normal range, and judged that he was suffering from heating disease because the office was too warm and dry, coupled with a long time in the office and rarely opened the window to breathe. The receiving doctor advised Mr. Wu to continue to maintain the habit of drinking more water, and at the same time to configure a humidifier on the desk and pay attention to ventilation.

After Mr. Wu returned to the doctor's instructions, a week later, his symptoms of dry throat and thirst improved significantly, and there was no more night thirst and wake up. "The heating of the office is more sufficient, I generally work in it for at least 8 hours, last winter there was a similar situation, because there was no timely medical treatment, and finally there were problems such as coughing up phlegm, emotional irritability, etc., fortunately this year, I went to the doctor in time, found that it was 'heating disease', and found a scientific way to deal with it, and now I feel more relaxed and comfortable." Mr. Wu said.

The number of "heating disease" treatments has risen, and young people have become the main force of the disease

On January 5, Jimu News reporter learned from many hospitals in Jiangcheng, such as the Third Hospital of Wuhan City and the Fourth Hospital of Wuhan City, that the number of patients receiving "heating disease" has increased significantly in recent days, and from the perspective of the number of people treated, there are more and more young people, and in some hospitals, young people have even become the main force in "heating disease" patients.

"The number of 'heating disease' treatments has increased by nearly 40% in recent days." Guo Hongrong, chief physician of the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine of the Optics Valley Branch of wuhan Third Hospital, introduced that the winter is relatively cold, everyone is accustomed to closing the doors and windows, "heating disease" is mainly caused by the long-term use of air conditioning, radiators, floor heating, electric blankets and other heating equipment caused by diseases, the main symptoms are cough, dry throat, nasal mucosa damage and bleeding, sore throat, skin itching, dizziness, decreased urine output, weakness, irritability, some combined infections into pneumonia, serious cases will even induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. More than half of the "heating disease" patients treated by the department are young people, and Guo Hongrong believes that this may be related to the fact that young people prefer to use heating equipment and do not like to wear too much thick clothing.

Cheng Jing, the attending doctor of the emergency department of Wuhan Fourth Hospital, also said that the number of "heating diseases" has increased by about 30% in recent days, which is different from the situation that most patients in the early years are the elderly and children, and more and more young people have suffered from "heating diseases" in recent years. She said that with the improvement of the working environment, winter heating began to spread, the temperature of the workplace is higher, more and more young people appear dry throat, dry skin, dizziness and other "heating disease" symptoms, because the self-regulation mechanism of young people is better, they pay more attention to health, when coming to the doctor, "heating disease" symptoms are often lighter. In contrast, the elderly children have poor physical sensation, and when they realize that they are sick, they have been found to be a more serious stage, and the symptoms are mostly cough, sputum production and even pneumonia, and some elderly people will also cause blood pressure fluctuations, chest tightness and chest pain.

Heating and frequent ventilation is the key to preventing "heating disease"

How to prevent "heating disease"? Guo Hongrong believes that when paying attention to warmth and cold protection, we must also pay attention to opening the doors and windows more breathable, at least open the window to breathe twice a day, each time is recommended to be about half an hour; we must pay attention to controlling the indoor temperature, for the human body, the room temperature is maintained at 18 ° C ~ 22 ° C is the most appropriate, while controlling the temperature, it is also necessary to maintain a certain humidity in the room, put a basin of water, or put some green plants, with a humidifier can effectively adjust the indoor humidity.

"To prevent 'heating diseases', we still have to start from the cause." Cheng Jing said that the causes of "heating disease" are mainly lack of ventilation, too high temperature, and the indoor environment is too dry. She recommends opening windows for at least half an hour a day and keeping indoor humidity between 50 and 60 percent. At the same time, she reminded that families with humidifiers should be vigilant against pneumonia caused by humidifiers, and the humidifiers used should be cleaned frequently, it is best to use pure water or boiling water, and change the water once a day; in terms of diet, drink more water, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and eat less spicy and irritating foods; bathing time should not be too long, and some moisturizing products can be wiped after bathing; when there are symptoms of "heating disease", timely medical treatment is not delayed, so as not to delay the best treatment time.
