Patients with high blood pressure should not take cold medicine randomly

4hw.com.cn: in the hot summer, there are many cold patients caused by air conditioning. Many people go to the drugstore to buy some medicine by themselves. Although they have been ill for a long time, they can't eat the medicine without permission. Because this kind of behavior is very dangerous for patients with high blood pressure. If you take the wrong cold medicine, the consequences are unimaginable.

Wang Fang, chief physician of the Department of Cardiology in Beijing hospital, explained that because the cold itself will cause people to sweat more, which is equivalent to the effect of diuretics, it will have the effect of reducing blood pressure, and some cold drugs will also interact with some antihypertensive drugs, increasing the effect of reducing blood pressure, which may cause low perfusion of important organs in some patients, and some elderly people may cause ischemia Stroke.

Therefore, when taking antihypertensive drugs and cold drugs, the drug dosage should be adjusted under the guidance of the doctor. Take cold drugs appropriately, and the time of taking different drugs should also be staggered. Especially for the elderly and children, special care should be taken. If drugs are added without authorization, it may have a significant impact on blood pressure. For this kind of patients, it is better to use physical therapy first for the common hot cold.

In addition, we also need to remind patients that after a cold, fast heart rate is also a manifestation of fever. Therefore, patients should not add drugs because of the transient high heart rate and blood pressure, which is very dangerous.

Chen Zhiqiang, deputy chief physician of respiratory department of Fuzhou General Hospital of Nanjing Military Region, said that people seldom have the habit of cleaning before using air conditioner. Even if the cleaning is only carried out on the surface of air conditioner, many bacteria hidden in the air compressor and pipeline inside the air conditioner cannot be cleaned. When using air conditioning, bacteria float in the air, bacteria and viruses grow in the respiratory tract, and common cold symptoms will appear. Therefore, before using the air conditioner every year, professionals should be invited to clean the air conditioner as a whole and clean the air conditioner isolation network regularly. In addition, patients with respiratory diseases try not to blow the air conditioner.

Ren rongna, chief pediatrician of Fuzhou General Hospital of Nanjing Military Region, reminded that people who work and live in air-conditioned environment for a long time are prone to gastroenteritis, respiratory tract infection and other diseases.

The temperature setting should be suitable for normal use of air conditioning, the key is that the temperature setting should be appropriate, the difference between the air conditioning temperature and outdoor temperature should be 5-8 ℃, and the indoor temperature should not be lower than about 25 ℃, so as to avoid that the human body cannot adapt to the large temperature difference. Don't face the cold air from the air conditioner directly to the human body, especially don't rush into the air conditioner room or face the air conditioner when you are sweating profusely. In the air conditioning room, try to wear long sleeved cardigan or shawl as much as possible, and cover the knee with blanket to prevent joint cold.
