As she stresses, plenty of fluids, light food, and above all staying at home during high temperatures is important for all citizens, especially for chronic patients.

"When the temperatures are this high, you should not go outside unless absolutely necessary. It is also important that all citizens take their medication, which they otherwise take regularly," Milosevic told Telegraf.rs and pointed out that chronic patients suffer during extreme weather spells.

"When temperatures are high or low, and now they are enormously high, chronic patients must take their therapy really regularly, monitor the symptoms of their body, avoid going out and listen to the doctor's advice," she stressed and added that doctors are there to give them advice and direct them to the right address.

In this period of the year, says Dr. Milosevic, the most common complaints that patients present with are respiratory and gastrointestinal.

"Respiratory and gastrointestinal complaints are now mostly accompanied by high or low blood pressure. We are here to give patients advice, help and guide them to what needs to be done," the doctor told Telegraf.rs.

She recalls that it is important to contact the doctor on time, and added that all patients who are not well will be admitted and examined immediately, and that each examination depends on priority.

"If someone is not well, of course, they will be admitted immediately and examined by a doctor. For everything else, you can schedule an examination in agreement with your chosen doctor, and that is one way for our patients to be satisfied and to be examined," said the doctor from DZ Vozdovac.
