Don’t let 6 things “attract” high blood pressure!

  With the intensification of social competition, modern people suffer from long-term mental overload and are prone to hypertension. Once suffering from hypertension, sloppy lifestyle habits will aggravate the condition. Blood pressure control can not only rely on drugs, life also need to pay attention to do not let 6 things “to” hypertension.  1, emotional excitement A series of “bad” and “good” things that happen in life can cause mood swings, excessive happiness or sadness can cause a sudden rise in blood pressure, but they are unaware of the irreversible consequences. Hypertensive patients should not only avoid anger, anxiety, panic and other bad emotions, but also to prevent the “joy of sadness”.  2, breath holding defecation Many elderly patients will have the problem of constipation, then defecation, force, breath holding and other circumstances also occurred, which led to the whole body muscle contraction, vascular contraction, thoracic and abdominal pressure increased, resulting in more blood filling the intracranial vessels, venous return obstruction, intracranial vascular pressure increased dramatically, often leading to cerebral hemorrhage occurred. In order to prevent the danger of constipation to hypertensive patients, the elderly should eat more vegetables, coarse grains, drink more water, defecate regularly every day, and often massage the abdomen. Senior patients are best to sit down to defecate.  3, sudden changes in temperature climate, the environment has a great impact on the condition of patients with hypertension, when encountering cold stimulus, the body’s adrenal secretion increased, blood circulation to speed up to resist the cold, and increased adrenaline will make vasoconstriction, will cause a significant increase in blood pressure. Whenever a cold wave crosses the border, it is the day of cerebral hemorrhage, so hypertensive patients should especially do a good job of avoiding cold and keeping warm.  4, excessive smoking and alcohol In about a month is our Chinese Spring Festival, such a festive day, relatives and friends to meet to wine to guests, to smoke will be friends is common sense, but excessive smoking and alcohol is an important cause of stroke. The central nervous system of the body can be directly stimulated by tobacco and alcohol to speed up the heart rate and blood pressure, which is very dangerous for the elderly with hypertension and atherosclerosis. Therefore, middle-aged and elderly people should control the amount of alcohol and tobacco to prevent unpredictable.  5, the use of certain drugs There are many situations in life that can make blood pressure rise, such as: tooth extraction with anesthesia, arthritis taking anti-inflammatory pain, etc.. When patients with hypertension seek medical attention for other diseases, they should explain their condition to the doctor to prevent a sudden rise in blood pressure caused by accidental use of drugs.  6, sudden discontinuation of antihypertensive drugs There are many hypertensive patients know that their blood pressure stable after the unauthorized discontinuation of drugs, this practice is very undesirable. Data show that 14 patients with high blood pressure after suddenly stopping their medication, 7 people had symptoms of sweating, headache, insomnia, flushing and blood pressure rebound, and some patients’ blood pressure was much higher than before treatment. This is the phenomenon of “withdrawal rebound”. Therefore, patients with hypertension should gradually reduce the dosage under the guidance of a doctor to prevent “losing everything”.
