Causes of headaches and fatigue when sitting in air conditioning for a long time

On hot days, turning on the air conditioner 24/7 is almost indispensable in any living space from offices, shops, shopping malls to small households. Having to stay in a closed environment with a lower temperature than the outside environment for a long time can lead to some negative effects on health such as headaches, dizziness, lethargy, etc.

Reason

First of all, it must be affirmed that air conditioning is not the cause of harmful effects on the health of users. This device was invented to help stabilize the surrounding temperature, resist the heat of the weather and is widely used in life.

However, using the air conditioner incorrectly is another matter, one of the reasons is:

Normally, to prevent too much cold air from being lost, save the machine's working capacity and avoid the machine from being overloaded due to having to work continuously, users often cover all corners in the room. At this time, the room becomes a closed space, without natural air circulation, and the air conditioner is a device with suction and blowing properties, that is, it will suck the air in the room and blow cool air inside. Therefore, after a period of continuous suction and blowing like that, the amount of oxygen begins to run out, the user only inhales CO2 and leads to lethargy, fatigue, and lack of vitality.

Another reason is that when going out in the hot sun, users have the mentality of sitting right next to the air vent blowing directly at the head and face in order to cool down as quickly as possible. However, doing this for a long time will risk leading to headaches, chills, heat shock due to sudden temperature changes along with cold air blowing directly on the body. In addition, as mentioned above, the air conditioner operates on the principle of suction and blowing, usually with new generation systems such as Mitsubishi Heavy air conditioners, when the air is sucked in and blown out, the cold air will pass through the filter layers to filter out allergens, bacteria, dirt, mold... If these filters are not cleaned properly, the above agents will be blown back out, users who inhale for a long time will be at risk of respiratory health problems such as difficulty breathing, suffocation, headaches, dizziness...

Measure

Do not seal the room but leave a small enough space like a vent, both to avoid heat loss and to allow air to circulate more easily. When going out and no longer needing to use the air conditioner, you should open all the doors so that air can flow into the room. Or for spaces that must be closed all the time, it is best to install a ventilation system to increase air exchange.

Use the air conditioner at a moderate and suitable temperature, avoid wind blowing directly into the face and head. You can switch between modes on the air conditioner such as DRY, AUTO, FAN... on the Mitsubishi Heavy air conditioner remote to save electricity and limit temperatures that are too high or low.

In addition, you should pay attention to cleaning the air conditioner periodically to limit allergens, bacteria, dirt, mold... to ensure that the filters are always clean, it is best to clean the air conditioner periodically about once every 6 months.

Hopefully, by knowing the causes and remedies as above, users will be able to limit headaches and fatigue when sitting in air conditioning for a long time. However, the best advice is still that users should limit sitting in one place for too long, should go outside to exercise to breathe fresh air and improve health.
