70-year-old uncle Zhang suffers from high blood pressure, usually always adhere to the medication, blood pressure control is good. However, last New Year’s Eve, Zhang Dabu was reunited with his children and the whole family was happy. Due to the influence of traditional thinking, he avoided taking medication for the sake of luck, so during the Spring Festival, he did not take his medication for several days, causing blood pressure fluctuations, which resulted in a stroke and emergency hospitalization. Zhang’s illness has inspired the majority of patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. At the time of the Chinese New Year, various parties and recreational activities make it easy for patients to smoke and drink, eat and drink inappropriately, get overexcited, and not take their medication on time, or even stop taking it, all of which may cause joy and sadness. Therefore, chronic patients with cardiovascular disease who have been taking medication for a long time should remember not to stop taking their medication suddenly, otherwise, it will lead to relapse, aggravation or deterioration of the disease, or even life-threatening. So, what should cardiovascular disease patients pay attention to during the Spring Festival holiday? 1, for hypertensive patients, should adhere to take antihypertensive drugs. We know that hypertensive patients must be long-term antihypertensive treatment, taking antihypertensive drugs should strictly follow medical advice, basically need to take every day. During the Spring Festival people often drink alcohol, watch TV, increase social activities and sleep less, there will be headaches, dizziness and blurred vision and other symptoms of elevated blood pressure, such as coupled with the discontinuation of drugs will often make blood pressure fluctuations, and even cause strokes, endangering life. In addition, some antihypertensive drugs, such as beta-blockers, can cause discontinuation syndrome, rapid heartbeat, angina and other symptoms, and even cause acute myocardial infarction or sudden death. 2, for patients with coronary heart disease, should not interrupt treatment. Patients with coronary heart disease often take aspirin, beta-blockers, statins and nitrates, etc. If you stop using aspirin, it may lead to acute thrombosis and cause acute coronary syndrome; if you stop using beta-blockers, you may experience an increase in angina symptoms, leading to myocardial infarction and sudden death; if you stop using statins, it may cause instability of intravascular plaques and cause plaque rupture, which can lead to Acute cardiovascular events; such as the sudden discontinuation of long-term nitrate drug patients, may lead to the aggravation of myocardial ischemia and recurrence of angina pectoris. 3. For stroke patients, reasonable medication should also be adhered to. Patients with ischemic stroke are also generally taking long-term antihypertensive drugs and statins, as well as antiplatelet drugs such as aspirin and clopidogrel. If the medication is stopped suddenly, it will also cause blood pressure fluctuation. High blood pressure fluctuation means high variability of blood pressure, and the latest study found that patients with high blood pressure variability have a significantly increased incidence of cardiovascular events. Discontinuation of antiplatelet agents may cause an increase in blood viscosity, which may lead to thrombosis and trigger another stroke. In conclusion, for patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, it is important to adhere to the rational use of medication and avoid stopping or adding medication when the Chinese New Year is approaching, so that they can spend a happy and peaceful traditional festival peacefully.
