High blood pressure and the comorbidities that come with it are a permanent pain for our Government and our nation. Why? Because the incidence of adult hypertension in China is close to 30%, and the total number of hypertensive people is about 270 million; and the varieties of antihypertensive drugs in China are almost synchronized with those of foreign developed countries, and some of them even exceed those countries. But China’s hypertension treatment and control compliance rate is only 27.4%, significantly lower than the western developed countries, which can not be said to be a sad. According to the 2015 Chinese urban residents of major diseases mortality and cause of death composition of the survey research shows that hypertension caused by cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, second only to the tumor, high in the mortality rate of the second, third, this conclusion and our government’s medical investment as well as the majority of the hard work of the medical workers is contrary to the. Although the reasons for the low rate of hypertension control in China are manifold, they are closely related to the lack of public awareness of the dangers of hypertension, as well as the lack of implementation of interventions by the professional medical industry to grasp the concept of hypertension management and treatment. Blood pressure control is not good, 4 organs are affected! 1, the heart Elevated blood pressure increases the burden on the heart, resulting in myocardial hypertrophy; long-term high blood pressure will also make the coronary artery blood vessels atherosclerosis. Myocardial hypertrophy and atherosclerosis cause myocardial blood supply is insufficient, heart function is impaired, and ultimately heart failure can occur. 2.Brain Long-term high blood pressure makes cerebrovascular ischemic degeneration, easy to occur cerebral hemorrhage; high blood pressure will also promote intracranial arteriosclerosis, can be complicated by cerebral thrombosis. 3.Kidney Generally, hypertension can cause renal damage and renal decompensation after 10~15 years, and some patients may even suffer from renal failure. 4, blood vessels Hypertension can lead to very serious vascular lesions, such as aortic coarctation. Generally, the wall of the artery is intact, after the lesion, the aorta is prone to rupture, extremely dangerous. How much is the right amount of blood pressure to lower? According to the standards of the Chinese Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Hypertension 2018 Edition, the blood pressure target for antihypertensive treatment in hypertensive patients should be controlled within the following intervals: However, these are not absolute values. If the combination of other diseases should be considered comprehensively with clinical symptoms, you need to listen to the doctor’s advice, not simply copy. Besides taking antihypertensive drugs, what other ways can I control my blood pressure? Hypertensive patients need to measure their blood pressure regularly and take antihypertensive drugs on time and in quantities as prescribed by the doctor. In addition, there are several “non-pharmacological methods” that can help control blood pressure. 1, walk every day Walking exercise for a long time, can play an auxiliary role in lowering blood pressure. Each walk 30 to 60 minutes, 5 to 7 days a week, and must be long-term persistence. Walking speed can be gradually increased, initially to walk mainly, and then gradually increase the speed to the body slightly sweating, do not feel tired as a principle. 2, go to bed early, don’t stay up late Research has found that going to bed one hour earlier than usual every night can help reduce high blood pressure. Many people who do not have enough sleep will be in a long-term, intense mental tension, anxiety, irritability, cerebral cortex excitation and inhibition process is easy to balance the imbalance, causing the whole body small arterial spasm, thus appearing high blood pressure. 3, eat more vegetables and fruits, such as the current listing of grapes, which contains flavonoids or have a blood pressure-lowering effect, green tea, cocoa beans and tomatoes also contain flavonoids. Another study found that ripe tomatoes help reduce patients with high cholesterol and high blood pressure, which in turn reduces the risk of heart disease. This may be related to the role of lycopene in tomatoes, tomatoes after cooking, which lycopene better absorption. 4, mood to relax some mood fluctuations directly affect blood pressure fluctuations. Maintain a stable, happy mood is the key to stabilizing blood pressure, and tension, depression and other emotions will directly lead to increased blood pressure. May not be open-minded some, normal heart to look at the ups and downs of things, to maintain emotional peace, for the control of blood pressure is very important.
