CCTV News: The Spring Festival travel rush is started, and the journey is exhausted. What diseases are likely to be triggered in a closed and closed space? How should we prevent it? Let’s take a look at the health tips of Dr. Zhang Jian from Fuwai Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences.
Zhang Jian, director of the Heart Failure Center of Fuwai Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, said: "Since we will take planes, trains, cars, etc., we may also be in confined space for a long time. I think there are several issues that we need to pay attention to. First of all, we should pay attention to preventing colds, because colds will aggravate or cause the original cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. You can consider wearing a mask and washing hands frequently. At the same time, sitting for a long time is less active, blood is sticky, and fatigue from travel and mood swings can also easily induce increased blood pressure. For example, If we are middle-aged and elderly friends suffering from hypertension, diabetes, and coronary heart disease, we must remember to take medicine regularly and not disrupt our lifestyle due to the journey. In addition, during the long sitting process, we must also pay attention to moving our legs and feet from time to time, get up and stand for a while every half an hour, stretch and bend our ankles and calves, and walk when you can walk. It is best to wear loose clothes, which will help avoid the occurrence of thrombosis. ”
