Minimize the risk of hypertension

  Hypertension, is both a high risk factor for cardiovascular disease and an independent disease. There are currently 1 billion hypertensive patients worldwide (including 300 million hypertensive patients in China), and it is expected to climb to more than 1.5 billion by 2025.  The main danger of hypertension is that it leads to stroke, heart failure and coronary heart disease, causing nearly 10 million deaths and tens of millions of disabilities each year. Since many patients are not aware of their hypertension, hypertension is known as the “silent killer”, for example, in China, the awareness rate of hypertension is 30.6%, the treatment rate is 24.7%, and the control rate is 6.1% – that is, 70 The tragedy is that one day when the fuse of the mine is touched, some patients may never wake up, and some patients may wake up and find themselves in the hospital or fixed to a wheelchair for the rest of their lives ……  After excluding secondary causes such as renal artery stenosis, endocrine disease, and severe snoring at night, there are still 90-95% of hypertension, the specific cause of which is unknown, is the result of a synergistic interaction between genetic susceptibility, lifestyle and environment, and is called primary hypertensive disease. Therefore, there is no “root” or “root” cure in the world, but if we keep blood pressure within a safe range for a long time, we can reduce at least 50% of strokes, 40% of heart failure and 30% of coronary heart disease.  By focusing on 1, 2 and 3 below, the risk of hypertension can be minimized. 1. “One hard truth”: Keeping blood pressure under safe control (below 140/90mmHg) for a long time through close cooperation between doctors and patients is the first hard truth of hypertension management. Many stroke events occur after a patient believes his or her blood pressure is well controlled and tapers or stops taking medication without permission. “One” also means that the first thing to do after getting up in the morning is to take the medication to ensure a safe day; before going to bed at night, the last thing to do is to take the medication to ensure a stable blood pressure at night and early in the morning. Long-term adherence, long-term treatment.  2, “two balance”: psychological balance and balance in life. The former refers to the optimistic and open-minded, calm and quiet attitude to maintain a stable personal state of mind, “favor and disgrace, let the flowers in the forecourt fall; stay and go without intention, see the clouds rolling in the sky.” This is the best footnote of mental balance. Life balance refers to a good lifestyle, relying on cigarettes, coffee to refresh and stay up all night working to overspend themselves, relying on alcohol in the social scene to burn themselves with passion, hypertension this mine sooner or later is going to explode, and then the good drugs will not help.  3, get up when the “three minutes”: wake up in the morning, first trip to bed, quietly think about what you want to do today, the first minute; slowly get up, while dressing, while thinking about what you want to do that day, the second minute; after dressing, walk back and forth in the room for a minute. The human body is also like a car in automatic gear, controlled and regulated by both vagus and sympathetic nerves. When you get up in the morning, the body changes from vagal innervation during sleep to sympathetic innervation. Many patients with hypertension have a relatively rigid neurological and humoral mechanism of cardiovascular regulation, and many patients, acute events occur in this gear-shifting process: telephone ringing, children crying, etc., so that patients suddenly jump up from bed, a black in front of the eyes, woke up to find themselves in the hospital, such tragedies have occurred. Hypertension patients pay attention to the three minutes that do not cost a penny, will greatly reduce the above tragedies.  Long-term adherence to focus on the above simple one, two, three, hypertensive friends will greatly extend the healthy survival state.
