Russia (bbabo.net), - Doctors agree that the New Year's feast is a powerful stress factor for the whole organism. On the one hand - overeating, on the other - drinking and long walks in the cold. The most dangerous New Year's holidays for people suffering from heart rhythm disturbances (arrhythmias) warned the doctor of medical sciences, cardiologist, doctor of the highest qualification category Aydar Sharafeev. The specialist explained why it is worth giving up alcohol a week before the New Year celebrations.

The cardiologist confirmed that the most frequent times to call an ambulance are January 1 and 2. Also, complaints of sudden heart problems mainly come in the morning hours on any day (especially from 06.00 to 07.00). At this time, a very strong hormonal surge occurs, the specialist noted in an interview with "Dr. Peter".

In order not to get to the hospital after the New Year, the doctor advised to adhere to a number of recommendations. So, you should refrain from drinking alcoholic beverages at least a week before the New Year's feast. This will really help protect yourself from a number of risks, since the effects of alcohol have a cumulative effect.

It is also recommended to refrain from the simultaneous use of alcohol and smoking, and after the feast take a short walk.

If you have an arrhythmia, do not wait until it goes away on its own, but contact a specialist to restore the heart rhythm, the doctor emphasized.
