Winter has arrived, the temperature is starting to get lower and lower every day, and many people with high blood pressure are starting to get nervous. Because every time in the winter, many patients with high blood pressure have a situation where the blood pressure level is difficult to control. I believe many people wonder, why in the winter, the blood begins to be out of control? What should we do in the face of uncontrollable blood pressure? Below Kang Kang will take you to understand.
With winter on, why is blood pressure becoming difficult to control?
First of all, we must know that in winter, after the blood vessels are affected by cold air, there may be accelerated contraction. This places a greater burden on the heart, at which point our blood pressure levels rise. And in the state of too low temperature, the body's sympathetic nerves may become excited, which may also lead to an increase in blood pressure.
Secondly, in the winter, I believe that everyone is more willing to stay indoors, and will also improve their cold resistance through calorie intake. This leads to excessive calorie intake, but not timely consumption, at which point there will be weight gain. However, this situation will have a more serious impact on patients with high blood pressure, that is, increased blood pressure and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Another point, which is often overlooked, is that many young people, in order to make more money, often choose to go out to work. Usual holidays are simply not enough time to go back and forth, so you may only be able to go home during the Spring Festival in a year. However, for the elderly at home, seeing a child who has not been seen for a long time may be more excited, and this time may also cause an increase in blood pressure.
These reasons are the reasons why many people have difficulty controlling their blood pressure in the winter. However, it is necessary to remind everyone that the rise in blood pressure is more dangerous, and the danger is not itself, but the complications behind it. So in the winter, it is also the high incidence of cardiovascular disease season, if we want to reduce the risk of this problem, the first thing we have to do is to reasonably control our blood pressure levels.
In winter, how should we stabilize our blood pressure?
1. Pay attention to cold protection and warmth
As mentioned above, there is a certain relationship between the increase in blood pressure in winter and the stimulation of low temperature. Therefore, we should be cold and warm, and reduce the stimulation of the body by cold air. It is recommended that the elderly, the clothes are best worn thicker, and the material should be cotton, because even if the body sweats, it can be absorbed by the body as soon as possible.
2. Change the dosage according to the doctor's instructions
Since blood pressure fluctuates in winter, stabilizing blood pressure levels is of course indispensable to medication. If the blood pressure level is elevated, or as usual, the drug concentration does not reach the concentration of control blood pressure, so the dose should be increased as appropriate. However, it is necessary to remind everyone that before changing the drug, you should consult a doctor first to avoid misjudgment.
3. Ensure emotional stability
This is also one of the reasons mentioned above, although it is an exciting thing for children who have gone out to go home, but we must not be too excited. It is recommended to maintain a peaceful state of mind, and when there are mood swings, you should calm your emotions as soon as possible. In addition to the excitement, there can be no depression, sadness, anger, which are easy to lead to increased blood pressure.
4. Do a good job of blood pressure detection
In winter, patients with cardiovascular attacks are often encountered and do not know that their blood pressure levels have risen. If you don't know that your blood pressure level is rising, of course, you don't know when to control your blood pressure. Therefore, for every patient with unstable blood pressure levels, they should do a good job of regularly detecting blood pressure in winter. Once you find that your blood pressure level is abnormal, consult your doctor in time to adjust your medication dosage.
Myth of high blood pressure: if the body has no symptoms, it can not be treated
For many people, it is believed that after suffering from high blood pressure, the body will have a series of symptoms, such as dizziness, headaches and so on. Therefore, some people will judge whether they have high blood pressure through their own perception. But in fact, there are also some people in the clinic who have no symptoms after experiencing high blood pressure.
Therefore, judging by symptoms does not accurately determine whether there is a problem with itself. Although symptoms can bring certain reminders to patients, when there are no symptoms, we cannot take it lightly, and we also need to pay attention to it. Therefore, it is recommended that people with unstable blood pressure need to do a good job of blood pressure detection in the winter, so as not to soar their blood pressure and not know at all.
In summary, many people will find that their blood pressure value will be more difficult to control than usual in winter. The reasons for this phenomenon have been listed above, and I hope that you can pay attention to it. The above also introduced to you, the method of stabilizing blood pressure values in winter, you can try to adhere to it in winter, which is beneficial to your cardiovascular health.
