Due to rising temperatures, the number of cases in hospitals is increasing.
Heat does not directly cause heart attacks.
In extreme heat, the heart has to work harder to keep the body cool.
Excessive sweating can lead to dehydration in the body.
Prolonged dehydration can cause the blood to become thicker.
Thicker blood can lead to the formation of blood clots in the heart’s arteries.
Patients with high blood pressure are at a higher risk of this.
Elderly people also need to take extra precautions during the hot season.
Drink enough water throughout the day and avoid going out in the sun.
