Although the academic community is still discussing the mental tension and emotional changes are the cause or the result of hypertension, but we can all appreciate is when a quarrel with his girlfriend, the upcoming exams but have not studied for it, by the children’s liver trembling, a major decision before the dilemma of choice when the blood pressure rises, heart rate increases, as the saying goes, blood straight to the top of the brain. There is also an example of the white coat effect, said some people in their own homes how to measure blood pressure is not high, a hospital to let the doctor to measure blood pressure is high, why? The doctor in the white coat is nervous, and the nervousness makes the blood pressure higher. The cardiovascular medicine department of Beijing Fu Wai Hospital, Tang Yida In the daily practice of seeing patients, we can also find some patterns, that is, those who always need to worry about the blood pressure is usually high, such as what company bosses, officials, cadres, white-collar women and handsome men, parents who have to ask everything about their children, and so on. These people, work, life is too much pressure, emotional balance is difficult, sympathetic nerves long-term over-excitation, tension, and thus easy to agitation, less rest or sleep quality decline, long-term rapid heartbeat, just like running a marathon every day, a day or two, a couple of years is still okay? A recent survey found that the growth rate of hypertension among 35-44 year olds was as high as 62-74%, while only 15-18% among 65-74 year olds; the growth rate of hypertension among the elderly was less. The 30-50 age group is the time to work hard to do business, long-term stress is naturally greater than the older people. It seems that the invisible “stress” is not a small danger. Many companies in the United States emphasize stress management and emotion management, both of which play a significant role in cardiac rehabilitation. Why, companies naturally want to keep their employees mentally healthy and physically fit, so that they pay less for the overall medical costs of their employees. And a lot of heart patients have more than a few psychological problems of one kind or another. For hypertension, “stress reduction therapy” to relax and relieve tension is also an important part of non-pharmacological treatment for hypertension. How can we manage stress and emotions in order to control blood pressure? In addition to treatments that require the participation of a therapist, there are many exercises that can be done on your own, such as meditation, yoga, tai chi, aerobic exercise, and music therapy are some of the methods commonly used abroad. Detailed talk about “stress reduction” method before I first introduced two small tricks to warm up: one is deep breathing, relax your whole body, focus on slow breathing, breathing softly and slowly, several times in a row can immediately restore calm. Second, meditation, find a dimly lit, quiet place, sitting relaxed, excluding distractions, silently listen to their own breathing, counting, or imagine the lush woods or light waves and breezes of the seashore, you can make the mood as soon as possible to calm down. The first step in reducing stress, still requires a healthy diet + aerobic exercise, and to adhere to, the previous chatter quite a lot, here is not to make the Xianglin sister it. The second step to reduce stress, contact with nature, Yuyuantan Park, eight at the Fragrant Hill to walk, Qingdao seaside, West Lake Suti rambling step, even at home to plant flowers and grass are effective. People from nature, back to nature in the spirit of natural easy to relax down. The mountains are so beautiful, go enjoy the beauty of the earth. The third step to reduce stress, associated with the second step, no matter how busy, take some time to relax yourself, go to the woods, flowers, seaside, mountain tops to go to the activity, even if it is just listening to music at home or lazy do not want anything, to the tense nerves to send the string. The fourth step in reducing stress, write down their uncomfortable feelings, sometimes write is also a kind of catharsis. Chest stagnation pile of too much unhappiness, let them pour out, you will have a great feeling of pleasure. The fifth step in reducing stress, friends and family to confide in the group. Do not ignore the power of friends and relatives, they are your strong backing. But do not just grab a person to nag endlessly. The sixth step to reduce stress, every once in a while to give yourself a certain amount of time to do something you like to do. One more note, do not indulge in the yellow soup wine cellar. Although the wine has the name of jelly, but that is to cheer, “wine for sorrow” will always be “more sorrow”.
