Amritsar: The winter season can have a significant impact on our health, increasing the likelihood of severe conditions like paralysis. Factors such as fluctuations in blood pressure, thickening of blood, and interruptions in blood flow to the brain exacerbate this risk. Neurology expert Dr. Arjimand from Pulse Hospital, Amritsar, and Dr. Rishabh Arora, Director of EMC Group, have shared valuable insights on this matter.
According to Dr. Arjimand, cold weather causes blood vessels to constrict, leading to blood pressure fluctuations and disrupted blood supply to vital organs. This risk is particularly high for the elderly and individuals with diabetes or heart conditions. He emphasized that reduced blood flow can deprive the brain of oxygen, potentially triggering a paralysis attack.
Dr. Rishabh Arora added that during winter, thicker blood slows circulation, hindering adequate blood supply to the brain. He stressed the importance of regular health check-ups, a balanced diet, and sufficient exercise during this season. Additionally, avoiding tobacco and alcohol, and maintaining controlled blood pressure and sugar levels are crucial for prevention.
Symptoms of Paralysis include sudden weakness in a part of the body, difficulty speaking, loss of balance, or facial abnormalities. Ignoring these symptoms can pose serious health risks. Immediate medical attention is essential if any of these signs are observed. Advanced medical facilities and specialists are available at Pulse Hospital, Amritsar, to ensure timely and effective treatment for such cases.
