On February 8, fluctuations in atmospheric pressure are expected, which will affect the well-being of weather-sensitive people.
According to cardiologist Andrei Kondrakhin, people with cardiovascular diseases and children will be the most affected by the changes. About this he told “Moscow 24”.
“Usually, when the atmospheric pressure is high, the body itself tries to compensate and lower it. In hypertensives and hypotensives the situation is paradoxical, the body reacts incorrectly: in people with hypertension, the pressure can rise even higher, in hypotensives, on the contrary, to fall sharply,” - warned the cardiologist.
Deterioration of well-being may feel people with chronic diseases in the stage of exacerbation, added Kondrakhin. Also possible aggravation of fatigue, weakness, drowsiness.
As for children, they may become more excitable, or too passive and sleepy.
