1, high blood pressure patients bathing precautions For most people, taking a bath is a very happy thing. In the bathtub put full of hot water, go in and take a bath, not only can let a person soothe the feeling of physical and mental exhaustion, but also can promote blood circulation, body metabolism, how pleasant a thing. Zhang Dadong, president of Shanghai Yuanda Cardiothoracic Hospital, said that cerebrovascular accidents often occur when elderly people with high blood pressure take a bath, in fact, the problem does not lie in the bath itself, but due to the improper method of bathing. Therefore, the hypertensive elderly bath should pay attention to the following six points: First, avoid fasting bath because the body will consume a lot of heat in the process of bathing, the elderly glycogen storage is less than the youth, easy to hypoglycemic shock due to low blood sugar. Second, avoid high water temperature Many people like to use very hot water to take a bath, thought this can avoid catching cold. In fact, when people enter the hot water at once, will reflexively cause the heartbeat suddenly accelerated, blood pressure rose in a short period of time, but then quickly due to the whole body skin and subcutaneous vasodilatation, blood pressure will gradually decline or even fall below the level of the bath before, and a large amount of blood stagnation in the peripheral vasculature, so that the brain and the heart and other important organs of the blood supply is reduced. This change in blood distribution can cause a substantial rise and fall in blood pressure, patients with hypertension or other cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, are extremely dangerous. At the same time, if the water temperature is above 40 degrees, because it exceeds the temperature of the human body, so that the heat is not easy to disseminate, but also prone to defecation. Generally speaking, the bath water temperature to the human body temperature is similar to the best. Third, avoid the bathroom and change the place where the temperature is too low before entering the bath and out of the bath because of the cold, will cause vasoconstriction, resulting in increased blood pressure. And after the bath, as mentioned earlier, will cause blood pressure to decrease. So the difference in ambient temperature, so that the blood pressure suddenly rise and fall, increasing the chance of accidents in hypertensive patients. Fourth, avoid soaking in the water for a long time If soaking in the water for a long time, the skin capillary expansion, easy to cause temporary ischemia of the brain, serious fainting. Suffer from hypertension, atherosclerosis of the elderly, in hot water for a long time, there is a risk of induced stroke. Bath time is best controlled within half an hour, after the bath should also rest for about half an hour. Fifth, avoid taking a bath immediately after a full meal If you take a bath immediately after a meal, it will be due to the rise in temperature, heat stimulation, so that the skin vasodilatation, the gastrointestinal tract in the relative reduction of blood, thus impeding the digestion and absorption of food. It is recommended to take a bath one hour after the meal is better. Six, avoid locking the door when the elderly hypertensive bath, do not lock the bathroom door, bath the best home someone, once the problem can ask for help in a timely manner. Reminder: the elderly with severe hypertension in the bath before taking some appropriate drugs to prevent high blood pressure, in order to prevent accidents in the bath. In addition, pay attention to the above points, with regular diet and good habits, I believe that your body will be more and more healthy.
