It is difficult to get hot, and for patients taking certain drugs, the risk of heatstroke is greater, and more attention should be paid to prevention.

A cold medicine containing pseudoephedrine. Some compound cold medicines contain pseudoephedrine. Pseudoephedrine has the function of contracting blood vessels, which will reduce the body's perspiration, and can not effectively dissipate heat and cause heat stroke. Pay attention to sun protection when taking these drugs, and avoid manual labor in high temperature environment.

Antipyretic analgesics. In case of fever, you may take drugs such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen. These drugs, while relieving heat and analgesia, also sweat, causing the loss of potassium in the human body, the weakness of the limbs, and severe heatstroke symptoms such as difficulty breathing or arrhythmia. Drink more water and take more potassium-rich foods such as kiwi. In general, ibuprofen, acetaminophen, etc. take up to 4 times a day, if the symptoms are not relieved, you should seek medical attention immediately.

Antihypertensive drugs. Due to the high temperature in summer and the expansion of blood vessels, blood pressure will be lower after taking antihypertensive drugs. In particular, diuretics increase urination and perspiration, and the body is prone to dehydration and electrolyte imbalance, and may have symptoms of heatstroke such as fatigue, burnout, loss of appetite, and palpitation. Therefore, after taking antihypertensive drugs in summer, it is necessary to replenish water in time, and the electrolyte is appropriately supplemented according to the type of antihypertensive drugs Under the guidance of a doctor, properly adjust the dose of antihypertensive drugs to prevent blood pressure from being too low.

Antispasmodic. Commonly used such as antispasmodic drugs such as atropine, belladonna, etc., are often used to treat stomach pain caused by stomach cramps. These drugs belong to M-choline receptor blockers, the main side effects are dry mouth, blurred vision, constipation, and reduced sweating. If under high temperature, human sweat secretion is inhibited, the body's heat can not be properly emitted, it is very easy to heat stroke, and even collapse. Therefore, when taking these drugs, be sure to avoid exposure to the sun, try to live or work in a cool and ventilated environment.

Psychiatric medication. Patients taking chlorpromazine, perphenazine, trifluoperazine and other psychiatric medications should also pay more attention to prevent heat stroke in hot weather. Because these drugs interfere with the body temperature regulating center, the human body cannot maintain a constant body temperature, but changes with the external environment. Therefore, it is easy to cause an increase in body temperature or even heat stroke in the hot summer. When using this type of medicine in summer, keep indoor ventilation and lower the room temperature.
