Heat and smoke from wildfires can put a strain on the heart and breathing. People with a cardiac or respiratory history need special care when these conditions coexist.
Limit vigorous activity outside, seek cool, fresh air, and follow heat and air quality guidelines.
Discuss your hydration plan and medications with the doctor, especially if you are on fluid restriction. Do not change the treatment yourself.
New, severe or persistent pain or pressure in the chest, sudden severe shortness of breath or fainting require immediate help: call 112 or 166. Do not wait for a reply to a message or a scheduled appointment.
