In Serbia, morning with with a temperature of six degrees Celsius, and on Iriški venc and other parts of Fruška, the snow is getting worse. A the previous days the highest daily temperatures reached 28 degrees.
According to the data of the Republic Hydrometeorological Institute, in the next few days the highest daily temperature will be between 13 and 15 degrees, and the lowest between five and six degrees Celsius.
Today's biometeorological forecast for Serbia states that conditions are relatively unfavorable for chronically ill and sensitive people.
"Caution is advised for asthmatics and cardiovascular patients. Rheumatic pains and sleep disturbances are expected as meteoropathic reactions. Maximum concentration is recommended for all road users. The data is from RHMZ.-and.
Cardiologist of the Emergency Center of the Clinical Center of Serbia Predrag Mitrović told "Vreme" that, since man is directly connected with nature, every change in atmospheric pressure affects the body and it is a natural adaptation, but such rapid changes are not good and the body cannot adapt quickly and efficiently.
What happens when the weather or humidity changes? Mitrović says that blood vessels expand and contract depending on the atmospheric pressure, and blood pressure oscillations occur.
"If it is taken into account that patients with elevated blood pressure account for as much as 70 percent of diseases when it comes to cardiovascular diseases, it is logical that we will have problems, that is, variations in blood pressure," says the cardiologist.
Many more meteorologists
He explains that at the moment the bigger problem is that a new group of people is appearing who react only to the change in weather, and when the weather is stable they do not have elevated blood pressure. He says that this is a population that must be treated at the moment when the pressure is elevated because other serious diseases such as a stroke or something on the heart itself can occur.
"We have always had meteorologists. However, now the population of people who react to these rapid weather changes is much larger", our interlocutor points out.
When asked why this happened, Mitrović says that in the last five or six years, the weather variations in the transition period have been drastic, and that the temperature changes from plus five degrees to 20 in a few hours.
"Time change is much faster than it used to be. Our organism adapts to it and we will probably mutate and adapt over time. However, for now we cannot adapt so quickly", says Mitrović.
Don't go outside.
How can citizens protect themselves? Mitrović says that the advice is to stay in a closed space because that way the change will go slower, the body will adapt more easily and the first big reactions will not occur.
"The problem now is a middle generation. People aged 40 to 55 simply function differently than older people who sit at home and are less active. The middle generation is the most active at work, and they can hardly sit in a closed space and wait for what will happen with time, and it is precisely for them that some sudden jumps in pressure occur", our interlocutor points out.
He concludes that if a sudden change in temperature occurs during working hours, then one should not leave the business premises.
