Avoid Triggers
There is great need to try to avoid known triggers, such as:
- Exposure to extreme heat and cold triggers the formation of sickle cells
- High altitude areas have a lack of oxygen, and it may also trigger a crisis.
- Stressful events have also been shown to trigger a crisis.
It is fascinating to know that learning relaxation techniques and talking problems over with family or joining a support group have been shown to reduce stress. Furthermore, it also keeps an individual happy who is living with sickle cell anemia.
You can also get help from various sources to reduce stress levels. Don’t overthink about any situation; try to be calm and silent.
