My father-in-law is 79 years seasoned plus suffers from a heart condition, she takes a variety of experimental medications that have worked well for him.
He’s also on blood thinners. We live in an area that experiences especially long plus brutally freezing winters. The outdoor temperature is most often below freezing plus can drop down to downside twenty-five degrees. As an older couple, our in-laws tend to think cold. They set their temperature control at 79 degrees. Whenever every one of us go to their home for family functions, every one of us bundle up in our Wintertide coats plus boots plus then strip down to short sleeves. The home consistently feels boiling, but everyone volunteers to carry the trash out to the garage for the opportunity to cool off. When the weather is cold, the air is naturally dry. With the gas furnace blasting, the conditions inside the home are much worse. The lack of humidity makes the air think colder plus can cause some troubles, then chapped lips, headaches, sore throats plus itchy eyes are consequences of overly dry air. The air can dry out nasal passages plus increase susceptibility to respiratory infection. Another problem is bloody noses. My father-in-law suffered a bloody nose that was most likely caused by insufficient humidity, and because of the blood-thinners she takes, every one of us couldn’t stop the bleeding. We ended up calling an ambulance for him. Fortunately, our father-in-law was great plus able to return house that same afternoon! One of her medical professionals recommended that every one of us install a whole-house humidifier for our in-laws. I am now researching the unusual styles of humidifiers. I’ve been studying up on the benefits, plus I think a humidifier is going to make a big improvement in their comfort plus indoor air quality.
