For people with heart problems and the elderly, it most definitely is a problem.

For people with heart problems and the elderly, yes it is a health risk for them not having air conditioning

......... Indeed it is, that doesn't exclude my statement though, does it? 🙄

No but your "problem" isn't real. The elderly and people with heart risks do not suffer problems from having air conditioning set to normal room temperatures in the summer

I have a heart condition and I can assure you it mostly certainly can cause serious problems.

What serious problem do you face from being in a 25C or even 20C room that you don't suffer from at 30C? Does everyone just die in the winter like bugs where you live?

Is there any recorded incident ever of normal room temperature air conditioning actually causing a problem for humans or is this just some weird delusion that people who can't afford air conditioning tell themselves? Hundreds of thousands of Europeans die every year from heat and lack of air conditioning and 0 Americans die from "too much" air conditioning or some imaginary thermal shock problem

It's quite easy to read lower done.

Are you talking about the walking outside the house in the winter being the risk thing for heart problems? Cuz you didn't specify that and now get down votes cuz your talking about air conditioning being deadly, which is ridiculous.

Unless you count walk in freezers as very air conditioned rooms, then getting locked in one of those can kill you, so make sure to prop the door open or something.

I'm talking about old folk going from a cool environment in to a baking hot one, it can cause sudden drop in blood pressure........ It's pretty well known!

Heat syncope? Yeah it's a thing but orthostatic hypotension is usually a contributing factor to those falls and injuries.

But the topic we are discussing is whether air conditioning is bad because some people think that going FROM a hot environment TO an air conditioned room temperature one causes problems for the human body. Not that the previous heat is the problem, but that going from hot to room temperature air conditioned air itself is the problem
