Risk of cold, cough cold, high blood pressure with increasing cold

According to Dr. NS Bisht, Senior Physician of District Hospital Coronation, a large number of patients with cold, cough, cold as well as high blood pressure are coming to the OPD for treatment.
High blood pressure risk
According to senior physician Dr. Bisht, the blood vessels of the body get constricted in cold weather. This increases the risk of high blood pressure. Protect yourself by wearing warm woolen clothes to avoid the cold. Especially the elderly need to be very careful. The elderly should stay inside the house till the bright sun is out. Along with taking special care of food, if you are taking medicines for BP, then take medicines only after consulting your doctor.
