What is the relationship between fever and blood clots?
A blood clot is a blood clot that forms inside blood vessels and has the ability to grow in size. The result is a partial or complete blockage of the neighbor. This condition leads to the development of serious diseases: heart attack, stroke and thromboembolism.
UK scientists conducted a series of studies and found out that the chances of encountering these deadly ailments increase dramatically in summer, since excessively high air temperatures provoke an accelerated growth of blood clots in human blood.
Moreover, heat has been found to act as a catalyst for the blood clotting process, as the body loses a lot of fluid in the form of sweat. All of these are critical factors for the development of dangerous pathologies.
Negative factors contributing to the development of thromboembolism
In addition to the abnormal heat itself, bad habits contribute to the formation of blood clots. The first one is smoking. British scientists have found that it provokes vasoconstriction. And if they already have blood clots, then the situation at any moment can become critical and threatening life and health.
Also, alcohol does not add health. The products of its decay in the body disrupt the heart rhythm, which interferes with the normal circulation of blood through the vessels.
How to reduce the risk of blood clots?
To reduce the risks, scientists advise avoiding excessive exercise, alcohol, and quitting smoking. Also a powerful means of preventing the formation of blood clots is the regular cooling of the body. Swimming in the pool, fans or air conditioners can help with this. Also, do not put on too many clothes when going out (for example, to cover the skin from the sun’s rays).
If the body temperature has already risen due to the heat, it is recommended to take a cool shower or wrap yourself in a sheet soaked in water. This will help to quickly and smoothly reduce body temperature. As, however, and the cooling of hands and feet in cold water.
