I have high blood pressure and start taking antihypertensive drugs!
What's the matter, two days ago, I was at home also had nothing to do, my hands were underpaid, I saw the dusty sphygmomanometer in the corner, and took out the blood pressure, 151/101!
The amount of blood pressure is high, of course, can not be regarded as hypertension, not the same day 3 measurements, systolic blood pressure ≥ 140 or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 90mmHg, is considered hypertension, so measured for a few days, basically systolic blood pressure in 130 to 140, diastolic blood pressure at 100, hypertension diagnosis is basically clear.
It is also necessary to exclude secondary hypertension, so I went to check again, and excluded secondary factors such as kidney disease, renal artery stenosis, adrenal glands, etc., that is, primary hypertension!
The increase in diastolic blood pressure is more obvious, in line with the characteristics of hypertension in young people, high sympathetic activity, and large peripheral vascular resistance!
There are several features of hypertension in young people, most of which are not obvious symptoms; most are mild hypertension; elevated diastolic blood pressure is more common; the proportion of patients with overweight/obesity and metabolic abnormalities is high; the proportion of home blood pressure monitoring is low; treatment compliance is poor, and the rate of blood pressure control is low. Men aged 18 to 40 years, the awareness rate of hypertension is 20%, the treatment rate is 12%, the control rate is 4%, very low, very low!
High blood pressure, what to do?
Lifestyle change comes first!
Limit salt, increase the intake of fresh fruits, vegetables and legumes, reduce the intake of saturated fat and cholesterol; control weight; aerobic exercise, brisk walking or jogging, exercise more than 30min a day, 5-7 times a week; reduce mental/psychological pressure, this is more difficult, there are old and young, to support the family, must go to work, stay up late, this mental pressure has been there!
Antihypertensive drugs, I also began to eat, why eat, because the average measurement of a few days down the diastolic blood pressure is more than 100, grade 2 hypertension, young people, grade 2 hypertension, heart rate greater than 80 times, preferably β receptor blockers.
Finally, remind your peers that when you have time, measure your blood pressure, measure blood glucose lipids and blood uric acid!
