The presence of chest tightness and palpitations means that the patient’s heart is affected by high blood pressure, which can lead to left ventricular dilation or myocardial hypertrophy due to prolonged elevation of blood pressure. What are the important factors that lead to hypertension? 1, gender, age and hypertension: before menopause, the proportion of women suffering from hypertension is slightly lower than that of men, but after menopause there is no significant difference in the probability of hypertensive disease with men, and hypertensive patients are even higher than men. 2, bad habits and hypertension: a large number of findings show that the structure of the diet has an important impact on the occurrence and development of hypertension, stroke, excessive sodium, heavy alcohol consumption, excessive fat intake in the diet, can trigger hypertension. Another study shows that people who have the habit of staying up late are prone to hypertension and even stroke, while those who live a well-organized life and usually go to bed early and get up early have a low percentage of hypertension. 3, excessive work pressure and hypertension: With the continuous progress of social civilization, competition is becoming more and more intense, people’s lives are becoming more and more fast-paced, and the pressure in various areas is also increasing, and subsequently, the human body will produce a series of changes, among them, the body’s catecholamine secretion increases, they will cause the contraction of blood vessels, heart load increased, triggering hypertension. 4, character and hypertension: character and hypertension is also closely related, character, emotional changes will cause a lot of subtle changes in the body, for example, some of the hormones that promote vasoconstriction in anger, impatient secretion, and vasoconstriction will cause an increase in blood pressure, long-term, will cause hypertension. 5, genetics and hypertension: a large number of clinical data proves that hypertension and genetic factors related. If both parents suffer from hypertension, the incidence of hypertension in their children can reach 46%; one of the parents suffer from hypertension, the incidence of hypertension in children is 28%; parents with normal blood pressure, the incidence of hypertension in children is only 3%. 6, overweight, obesity and hypertension: weight and blood pressure have a high correlation. Relevant data show that overweight, obese people hypertension prevalence than normal weight to 2 to 3 times higher. 7, smoking and hypertension: smoking can accelerate atherosclerosis, causing an increase in blood pressure. It is measured: 10 minutes after smoking two cigarettes due to increased secretion of epinephrine and norepinephrine, and the heart rate increases, systolic and diastolic blood pressure are elevated. Smokers are prone to malignant hypertension, and nicotine in tobacco affects the efficacy of antihypertensive drugs, which is not conducive to the treatment of hypertension. 8, alcohol consumption and hypertension: excessive alcohol consumption and blood pressure between the relationship between the dose D response, with the increase in alcohol consumption, systolic and diastolic blood pressure also gradually increased, long-term so, the incidence of hypertension increased. Excessive alcohol consumption also has the risk of causing stroke. China’s guidelines for the prevention and treatment of hypertension recommend that men should drink no more than 30mg (about 1 tael of white wine) per day and women should drink no more than 20mg.
