冷房病
クーラーの冷たい空調が首や首周りを冷やすことがあります
私たちの体は暑い環境では、汗をかいたり、血管を拡張させたりして熱を放出し、体温を調節しています。
この体温調節機能を担っているのが自律神経です。自律神経は、体温だけでなく血圧や心拍数、消化といった
体の重要な機能をコントロールしています
クーラーのよく効いた涼しい部屋で長時間過ごしたり涼しい部屋と暑い屋外を何度も出入りしたりすると
自律神経のバランスが乱れます
その結果、疲労が蓄積されて、だるさや疲れがでた汗をかけなくなって体温をうまく調節できなくなったり
肩こり、頭痛、下痢、便秘といった症状が起きたりすることもあります
だるさや疲れ、肩こりといった症状が続くと日常生活にも支障が出て、焦りや不安など
精神的なストレスも感じやすくなってしまいます
こうしたストレスを受けると自律神経のバランスがさらに乱れてしまうため
早めに対策することが大切です
In a hot environment, our body releases heat and regulates body temperature by sweating and dilating blood vessels. The "autonomic nervous system," which works autonomously without our awareness, is responsible for this body temperature regulation function.
The autonomic nervous system controls not only body temperature, but also blood pressure, heart rate, digestion, and other important body functions. Spending long hours in a cool, air-conditioned room or repeatedly going back and forth between a cool room and the hot outdoors can upset the balance of the autonomic nervous system, resulting in a variety of physical ailments.
When you go back and forth between a well-cooled room and a hot outdoor place, your body feels a big difference in temperature, and the energy of the autonomic nervous system to regulate body temperature is depleted. As a result, fatigue accumulates and symptoms such as lethargy and tiredness appear in the body.
Fatigue caused by differences in temperature is a cause of air conditioner sickness.
In addition to lethargy and fatigue, the body may not be able to sweat and may not be able to regulate body temperature properly, and symptoms such as stiff shoulders, headaches, diarrhea, and constipation may also occur.
Continued symptoms such as lethargy, fatigue, and stiff shoulders can interfere with daily life and cause mental stress, such as impatience and anxiety. This stress can further disrupt the balance of the autonomic nervous system, so it is important to take action as soon as possible.1日前
