Heart and brain disease patients winter “five shall not” medication “stop not”. As the weather turns cooler, blood vessels contract, blood pressure may also rise, in addition to close monitoring of blood pressure, at this time should also be timely adjustment of the dosage of antihypertensive drugs, as far as possible to control blood pressure within the safe range. But pay attention, adjust the amount of medication must follow medical advice, according to blood pressure monitoring to carry out, do not rely on the “feeling” to increase or decrease. Exercise “not fast”. In cold weather, running, weight lifting, jumping and other explosive movements may cause a sudden rise in blood pressure and induce a lack of blood supply to the heart and brain. At this time you can choose to walk, play tai chi, yoga and other mild forms of exercise. In addition, in the morning and evening temperature difference, windy and cold time of the elderly patients had better not go out, outdoor exercise to the sun is relatively abundant, the temperature is higher appropriate, do not be too long. Taste “heavy not”. To protect the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular, the task of “salt and weight reduction” should be adhered to in all seasons. When it’s cold, people tend to “lose control of their mouths” and can’t resist the temptation of “big meals” such as hot pot and shabu-shabu. Therefore, this time to remind themselves to not exceed the daily calorie limit, eat less brine, pickles, pickles and other foods containing high salt; eat less red meat, replaced with healthy fish and other “white meat”, cooking with more vegetable oil; appropriate supplementation of potassium-rich foods, such as potatoes, eggplant, kelp, lettuce, winter melon, etc., to promote the excretion of sodium, and Regulate blood pressure. Calcium-rich dairy products, shrimp, as well as green fruits and vegetables also have a protective effect on cardiovascular. Blood vessels “can not be frozen”. For hypertensive patients, the old adage “spring cover and autumn freeze” does not fit. Be sure to prevent cold in the morning and evening, do not be afraid of trouble, timely increase and decrease clothing. Wear a good hat and gloves when you go out to prevent cold air from suddenly stimulating blood vessels and nerves; wash your face and brush your teeth with warm water; it’s best to put on a coat to keep warm when you get up at night; you can have a meeting with a bath bomb before bathing, and then bathe after the temperature rises. Do things “in a hurry”. The heart likes to “slow half a beat”, mental tension, overwork will be “sad”. Do not be greedy for more fast, do not have to pursue perfection in everything; usually ensure sufficient sleep and rest, if too much thought, late at night, can also lead to rapid heartbeat, blood pressure fluctuations and induce cardiovascular accidents.
