1. Why should hypertensive patients lose weight? Regardless of men and women, the prevalence of hypertension increases with weight gain. According to epidemiological data, the prevalence of hypertension in obese people is 2 to 6 times that of normal weight people. In hypertensive patients whose body weight exceeds 10% of the normal value, a reduction of 5 kilograms of body weight has the effect of lowering blood pressure. Therefore, the relationship between obesity and hypertension is very close. 2.Ordinary blood pressure has been very normal, in the hospital to check the body, found that the blood pressure is higher than the normal value. Is this hypertension? Normal people in the activities, emotional excitement or mental tension, blood pressure will also appear to rise, even more than the normal value. Therefore, blood pressure should be measured in a quiet state, and should be measured for many days and many times. An occasional higher-than-normal blood pressure is not necessarily high blood pressure. 3.What are the causes of hypertension in 7 or 8 year old children and can it be cured? Like this age group of children with high blood pressure, the cause is mostly secondary hypertension, which is mostly secondary to kidney disease, should go to the nephrology department of the hospital for detailed examination. If the diagnosis is clear and the cause is removed in time, the disease can be cured. 4.Why should we check blood lipid and blood sugar if we have hypertension? Obesity, hypertension and blood cholesterol, elevated blood triacylglycerol, elevated low-density lipoprotein, etc., are risk factors for cardiovascular disease, especially coronary heart disease. Some people also need to check a glucose tolerance test to find out if there is a possibility of hidden diabetes. These risk factors are often found in the same person, and the likelihood of cardiovascular disease is greatly increased. Therefore, anyone who has been diagnosed with hypertension, it is best to check blood glucose and blood lipids at the same time, in order to carry out the appropriate treatment. 5. Is it coronary heart disease if I have chest tightness after suffering from hypertension? Hypertension is one of the risk factors for coronary heart disease. Coronary heart disease will have chest tightness, and patients with high blood pressure can also have chest tightness themselves. Therefore, it is necessary to do electrocardiogram, blood lipids, echocardiography, radionuclide and other tests, and if necessary, coronary arteriography in order to make a clear diagnosis. 6.Will I become demented if I have hypertension for a long time? Dementia is a clinical syndrome, mainly manifested by mental function disorders, including memory, thinking, understanding, judgment, calculation and other functions. Many diseases can lead to dementia, among which vascular dementia is often secondary to hypertension and atherosclerosis. Therefore, timely and effective treatment of hypertension and prevention of atherosclerosis, in order to prevent the occurrence of dementia. 7. Is it accurate to measure blood pressure with electronic blood pressure? As long as you use a qualified blood pressure monitor that has been tested by a professional organization and measure your blood pressure under the guidance of a doctor, the measured blood pressure is relatively accurate. 8.Will atherosclerosis “soften” after treatment? In the past 20 years, many animal experiments have proved that atherosclerotic lesions can be reduced or subsided. It should be treated positively, adopt low-salt, low-fat diet, moderate physical exercise, insist on taking antihypertensive drugs, and if the blood lipid is abnormal, it should also take lipid-lowering drugs. In this way, atherosclerosis can be controlled. 9.Can hypertensive patients swim in summer? Hypertensive patients can swim, but should pay attention to: ① the water temperature should not be too low; ② do not swim alone; ③ before going into the water to have warm-up exercise; ④ swimming time should be controlled; ⑤ speed should not be too fast. 10, high blood pressure in summer can drink cold drinks? Try not to, excessive cold food into the stomach and intestines, will suddenly stimulate the stomach and intestines, so that vascular contraction, blood pressure rise, aggravate the condition, easy to induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents. 11.What is the relationship between nephritis and hypertension? Both acute and chronic nephritis will lead to secondary hypertension, which is called renal hypertension. As long as the correct treatment, including low-salt diet, diuretic, antihypertensive and other measures to make the condition under control, the blood pressure will often be reduced to the normal level. 12.Can the antihypertensive tea on the market treat hypertension? Tea has the role of anti-oxygen free radicals, may have a protective effect on cardiovascular cells. However, tea is not an antihypertensive drug and cannot replace drugs. The antihypertensive effect of tea publicized in the market is unfounded, and it should be treated according to the doctor’s advice. 13. What should I do if I have a family history of hypertension? Hypertension is a polygenic genetic disease. More than one person in the family with high blood pressure, should pay attention to: ① do not need to be overly nervous, even in the family of high blood pressure, not every member of high blood pressure; ② regular measurement of blood pressure in the hospital; ③ to participate in a moderate amount of physical activity; ④ low-salt, low-fat diet; ⑤ avoid smoking and alcohol; ⑥ if found that the blood pressure is elevated, the blood pressure should be adhered to the treatment of antihypertensive therapy under the guidance of the doctor. 14. What should you pay attention to in your daily life if you suffer from hypertension and diabetes at the same time? Should pay attention to the following three aspects: ① adjust the dietary structure, control the total calorie, reduce weight, limit the intake of fat and salt, increase the amount of high-quality protein, dietary fiber, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits; ② change the bad habits, do not smoke, drink less alcohol, pay attention to the combination of work and rest; ③ to maintain normal blood pressure, effective control of blood sugar.
