Most people have high blood pressure, afraid that high blood pressure will cause myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction, heart failure, kidney failure, and finally choose to take antihypertensive drugs.
Even one bite is a lifetime!
Controlling blood pressure and lowering it to normal is no doubt. But many friends with high blood pressure believe that only antihypertensive drugs can lower blood pressure, and the task of lowering blood pressure is all given to antihypertensive drugs. That is, only rely on antihypertensive drugs to lower blood pressure, and do not know or are unwilling to use other antihypertensive methods.
Today's 3 real cases, more truly tell you that in addition to antihypertensive drugs, these methods can also lower blood pressure:
【Case 1】
Mr. Li is 39 years old, 11 years ago blood pressure 150/100mmHg, never took antihypertensive drugs, the last 3 years blood pressure 130/80mmHg.
How did he do it?
Mr. Li, 28 years old, weighing 200 pounds, went to the hospital to check fasting blood glucose 15mmol/L, blood pressure 150/100mmHg, triglycerides 5.5mmol/L. Is a typical triple high + obesity.
For hypertensive patients with diabetes, the standard blood pressure is 130/80mmHg, which means that Mr. Li's blood pressure should be controlled below 130/80mmHg to be normal. His 150/100mmHg blood pressure was well above the standard.
At that time, the doctor also suggested that Mr. Li start taking antihypertensive drugs, hypoglycemic drugs, and lipid-lowering drugs. But Mr. Li, like most people, is reluctant to take medicine, and the doctor told him that his blood sugar is 15mmol/L, and after meals, he is 20mmol/L, and if he does not use drugs to control blood pressure. In the short term, there is a risk of diabetic coma, and in the long term, there is a risk of arteriosclerosis, vascular stenosis, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
So it was shown that he started taking hypoglycemic drugs, but did not take lipid-lowering drugs and antihypertensive drugs.
Instead, non-drug intervention methods were adopted: insisting on walking 20,000 steps a day, quitting alcohol, eating more vegetables and fruits coarse grains, and strictly controlling fine grains, fat, meat and frying, so That Mr. Li's weight is getting lighter and lighter.
The hypoglycemic drugs were also eaten less and less until 3 years ago, when Mr. Li was 36 years old, he stopped using the hypoglycemic drugs. Under the premise of not taking hypoglycemic drugs, blood sugar has returned to normal, while blood pressure and blood lipids have returned to normal.
Through 8 years of hard work, Mr. Li finally achieved a counterattack in life by controlling diet, insisting on exercise, and controlling weight. Blood pressure, blood sugar, and blood lipids have all reached the standard without drugs.
Therefore, antihypertensives can not only rely on antihypertensive drugs, but also combine to control diet, adhere to exercise, and control weight.
【Case 2】
Xiao Liu, 24 years ago, found that his blood pressure was 158/100mmHg and did not take antihypertensive drugs, and now his blood pressure is 125/80mmHg.
This morning, Xiao Liu came to see the doctor, and our conversation recorded:
Liu: Dr. Wang
KING: How's it going lately?
Liu: It feels very good, much better than half a year ago, people are also energetic, they don't like to sleep, and they don't feel dizzy anymore.
WANG: How's your blood pressure lately?
Liu: Blood pressure has been around 125/80.
Wang: It's not bad, first open the test list, first go to the blood draw, and then come back and talk.
Liu: Okay
An hour later, I came in with the test form.
KING: How's it going?
Liu: It's all normal, you see
KING: Well, yes, all in the normal range
Liu: I really want to thank Dr. Wang, when I first looked at you in July, my blood pressure was 158/100, my triglycerides were 4.8, my blood sugar was 7.8, and I had fatty liver. At that time, I weighed 170 pounds.
Wang: You didn't want to take medicine at that time, I said, the newly discovered three highs, is also mild, you can consider not taking medicine, but you must strictly eat a healthy diet, adhere to exercise, you can do it, try it, if you can't do it, you have to take medicine.
Liu: At that time, I was afraid that taking medicine was very toxic, so I listened to your words and began to reduce oil and salt, eat more vegetables and fruits, eat more coarse grains and grains, drink more water, and quit tobacco and alcohol. From then on to now, I have basically run for 30 minutes a day.
Wang: Well, I remember the first month of re-examination, there was an effect, all the indicators have been lowered, so I encourage you to continue to insist. Now it's been more than half a year, and the blood pressure is 125/80. Triglycerides 1.6, blood sugar 6.5, fatty liver disappeared, weight dropped to 150. Good, keep up the good work.
Liu: Is it that there will be no three highs in the future?
Wang: There is no 100% guarantee, if you eat and drink like before, smoke and drink, and do not exercise, then you will definitely be three high again. Continue to eat healthy and keep exercising, then the risk will be low.
Liu: Well, definitely insist, definitely insist, thank you Dr. Wang, then I am gone!
King: Control yourself!
Liu: Well, got it!
Xiao Liu, through his own insistence, the newly discovered hypertension, no medication, but exercise, healthy diet, weight control, and finally blood pressure returned to normal, blood sugar, blood lipids, fatty liver are back to normal.
Of course, this is not to say that new high blood pressure can not take medicine, this must vary from person to person, individualized advice.
The most important thing is to see whether the individual has self-discipline or not.
【Case 3】
Mr. Zhou, 47 years old, took 3 kinds of antihypertensive drugs 5 years ago, and twice a day, his blood pressure is still 140-150mmHg.
Today, 5 years later, Mr. Zhou only takes 2 antihypertensive drugs once a day. That is to say, the antihypertensive drug has been reduced from the original 6 tablets a day to 2 tablets a day now.
How did he do it?
Mr. Zhou, 42 years old, was diagnosed with hypertension 5 years ago, but the blood pressure was 210/120mmHg, and began to eat two antihypertensive drugs, once a day, the blood pressure was still above 180mmHg, until later the antihypertensive drugs were added to 3 kinds, twice a day, in order to reduce the blood pressure to 140-150 mmHg.
Once in the outpatient clinic with Mr. Zhou, I said: Now that I have taken so many antihypertensive drugs, my blood pressure has not yet reached the standard. If you want to meet the blood pressure standard, one way is to continue to add medicine, but now that you have taken so many medicines, it is not appropriate to continue to do medicine.
Another way is to change your lifestyle, that is, control your weight, insist on exercise, do not eat and drink, low-salt, low-sugar, low-oil diet, and more vegetables and fruits.
Make your life healthy and your blood pressure will improve.
Mr. Zhou really did not want to take more antihypertensive drugs, so he began a long-term change in life, quit smoking and alcohol, insisted on exercise, controlled weight, healthy diet, and no longer stayed up late. Life is getting healthier, weight is getting lighter, and blood pressure is getting more and more ideal.
Natural antihypertensive drugs will also be eaten less and less, and the amount of antihypertensive drugs will be gradually reduced, from unmediated blood pressure gradually reaching 130/80mmHg, to gradually reducing the drug later.
Now Mr. Zhou has reduced the antihypertensive drugs to once a day, two tablets at a time, and his blood pressure is below 130/80.
[Their change is not just about taking less or not taking medicine.] 】
Don't think that sticking to a healthy lifestyle is just to take a few few tablets of antihypertensive drugs. A healthy lifestyle, in addition to making blood pressure more ideal, is mainly a comprehensive healthy life, which is the basis for preventing hyperlipidemia and diabetes, and it is also the basis for preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Otherwise, eating a lot of antihypertensive drugs, it seems that blood pressure can drop to normal levels, but do not adhere to a long-term healthy life, over time, not only will there be hyperlipidemia, diabetes, but also cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Therefore, do not give all the tasks of antihypertensive drugs to antihypertensive drugs!
