Researchers from Glasgow University also said that the high rainfall and a lack of sunlight can cause changes in blood pressure.
Although the findings of this sounds quite strange, the blood vessels near the surface of the skin will shrink in cold weather - to conserve heat - which then affect the blood pressure rising.
Changes in blood pressure, as reported by the Daily Mail (22/5), making the body is under stress and increase the risk of heart attack and stroke. The researchers say that doctors should know how the weather outside when measuring blood pressure patients.
This will help them determine which patients are sensitive or not, so that doctors can tailor the right treatment for the patient.
