I had a heart attack when I was in the hospital before. The doctor said that I can't take a foot bath. Why can't a heart patient take a foot bath?

    Heart disease patients and high blood pressure patients should try to minimize foot massage. Because the blood vessels dilate during the foot bath and the amount of blood returned to the heart increases, warm water bathing for a short time can regulate the function of the heart and blood vessels. Hot water bathing for a long time will increase the burden on the heart and accelerate blood flow, but it will aggravate the condition.
