People with high blood pressure can lower their blood pressure by doing aerobic exercise such as jogging, swimming and walking for a long time.
Adherence to aerobic exercise can achieve the effect of lowering blood pressure. Through jogging, swimming, walking and other aerobic exercise can exercise the heart, enhance myocardial contraction and diastolic function; can expand the peripheral blood vessels, so that peripheral vascular resistance is reduced; exercise will generally also be a large amount of sweating, so that the body’s circulating blood volume is reduced, which helps to reduce blood pressure.
However, for patients with hypertension combined with severe coronary heart disease and heart failure, it is not suitable for long-term running, swimming and other sports, which can easily induce angina pectoris and myocardial infarction, etc. They should formulate appropriate exercise programs under the guidance of doctors and follow the doctor’s instructions to apply diuretics (e.g., hydrochlorothiazide), calcium channel blockers (e.g., nifedipine) and other medications for active control of blood pressure.
Hypertensive patients generally can not only through aerobic exercise to reduce blood pressure, should go to the regular hospital in a timely manner to assess the severity of hypertension, under the guidance of the doctor for standardized treatment, so as not to delay the condition.
