The
Hazards of Flu
With more research on the fatal fever, it
is coming to fore that people with chronic diseases,
such as heart problems,
are more prone to developing complications during flu. These
can be manifested as bacterial pneumonia, ear infections, sinus
infections, dehydration, and worsening of chronic medical conditions, such as
congestive heart failure, asthma,
or diabetes.
Patients share their experience of increased heart-beat, excessive drying of
body fluids and many more. During flu season, it is no wonder that beds would
not be available in hospitals. This worsens the situation even more.
You
Have the Power to Fight Flu
While people generally neglect about
the flu shots till they are not affected, those with underlying illness must
not go on that road. It is desirable to get on time flu shots.
Take every little precaution
like washing your hands properly, wearing a mask etc. As it is said, prevention is better than cure. It is
like creating a protective barrier around yourself so that you are not affected
more.
Whether you have a congenital heart disease
or any other certain long-term medical
conditions, or you have loved ones or care for someone with
certain long-term medical conditions, it is very important to take steps to
protect yourself and those around you.
Enlisted
below are few medical conditions which trigger flu complications:
Asthma, neurological problems,
chronic lung disease, heart disease, blood disorders, endocrine disorders,
kidney problems, liver problems, HIV-AIDS, Obesity.
