When the blood pressure is stable, the patients with hypertension can not stop the drug at will. In summer, the sleep quality of most people is decreased, which is easy to cause autonomic nervous dysfunction. After falling asleep, vagus nerve is excited, blood vessels are contracted, which leads to the increase of blood pressure at night, and even leads to cerebral hemorrhage. Therefore, summer is the season of aggravation of hypertension or more complications, which should cause alarm. What should be paid attention to?
Hypertension is a kind of disease closely related to climate change. In summer, hypertension has the characteristics of decreasing in variability. In summer, the temperature is high, people's blood vessels dilate, blood flow speeds up and resistance decreases. At the same time, in summer, people are prone to sweat, excrete more sodium, and the burden of kidney is relatively reduced. The blood pressure of patients with hypertension will be reduced, which can be reduced by about 10 mm Hg.
However, in summer, most people's sleep quality declines, which easily leads to autonomic nervous dysfunction. After falling asleep, vagus nerve is excited, blood vessels contract, resulting in increased blood pressure at night, and even cerebral hemorrhage. Hot and sweaty days, blood viscosity, slow blood flow, and sudden drop of blood pressure also easily lead to cerebral thrombosis. Therefore, summer is the season of aggravation of hypertension or more complications. What should be paid attention to?
One is to take blood pressure frequently. It's best to measure blood pressure by oneself every day. Those who can't should go to the clinic to measure blood pressure 2-3 times a week. If blood pressure fluctuates greatly, the number of measurement should be increased. At the same time, records should be made for reference when doctors adjust drugs.
Second, patients with hypertension must take antihypertensive drugs for a long time and can not stop using them at will. Generally speaking, the blood pressure is not too low, patients still need to continue to maintain the dose of medication, at the same time, make a good record of blood pressure, and adjust drugs under the guidance of doctors when necessary.
Third, cooling and summer should be scientific. Patients should pay attention that the temperature in the air-conditioned room should not be adjusted too low, 27 ~ 28 ℃ is appropriate, and the room temperature is relatively constant.
Fourth, increase drinking water appropriately. In summer, the human body's water output is large, blood is easy to concentrate, in people's sleep or quiet blood flow slow conditions, easy to form thrombosis. To achieve water balance in the body, it is necessary to adjust the amount of drinking water according to the amount of excretion. Drinking boiled water or brackish water with less than 1% salt can effectively supplement water.
Five is to ensure sleep, moderate exercise. It is very important for hypertension patients, especially the elderly patients, to keep a good mood and have a reasonable rest. It is very important to ensure 7-9 hours of sleep and proper exercise every day.
After reading the above contents, we should have some understanding of the problem that patients with hypertension can not stop taking drugs at will when their blood pressure is stable. Today we will introduce here. More topics about hypertension and health will continue to be introduced in the following articles. Welcome to check. Wish you a happy life!
