As one of the most common chronic diseases in daily life, the vast majority of people are very concerned about the important knowledge related to hypertension. However, in the treatment of high blood pressure, many people will have such a misunderstanding, that is, as long as you take medicine on time, it means that everything is fine.
In fact, this overly one-sided erroneous view is actually very undesirable. Because in addition to timely medication, whether or not to develop the following good habits will also have a great impact on the control effect of hypertension.
1. Timely monitoring of blood pressure
For people with high blood pressure, it is always necessary to actively develop good blood pressure monitoring habits. Because only by understanding the actual blood pressure fluctuations in time can we truly determine whether the blood pressure control effect has reached the ideal expectation.
Therefore, in ordinary life, for the necessity of blood pressure monitoring, hypertensive patients must pay full attention.
In general, it is recommended that patients with hypertension take a blood pressure measurement once in the morning from 8 to 10 a.m., 3 to 6 p.m., and before going to bed at night.
Combined with the blood pressure measurement results obtained in these three different time periods, it is possible to obtain a comprehensive and accurate understanding of whether the blood pressure fluctuations meet the health standards. If there is an abnormal situation, you must seek medical treatment in time and adjust the medication rationally.
In addition, it is also necessary to remind patients with hypertension that they must develop correct blood pressure measurement habits during blood pressure monitoring. First of all, it is best to maintain a meditative state during measurement, and do not communicate frequently with others.
Second, do not drink irritating drinks before measurement and do not carry out excessive physical exercise. Finally, it is necessary to maintain emotional stability during the measurement process to avoid large errors in the measurement results due to excessive agitation.
2, three low diet
For patients with hypertension, the impact of maintaining a healthy and reasonable daily diet on the control effect of the disease is also quite huge.
Therefore, in order to maintain blood pressure stability to the greatest extent, it is recommended that patients with hypertension must actively follow the three low principles in terms of diet, that is, low sugar, low oil, and low salt. Otherwise, once the blood pressure health is obviously damaged due to improper diet, it is very unfavorable to the maintenance of patients.
3. Quit smoking and alcohol
Smoking and drinking is a bad habit that most adults have in real life, but in the case of high blood pressure, it is necessary to actively avoid it.
Because smoking and drinking alcohol can easily cause excessive excitement, once the blood vessels are abnormally constricted, it is likely to cause the control effect of hypertension to be greatly reduced. Therefore, for the necessity of quitting smoking and alcohol, patients with hypertension must actively pay attention to it.
4. Maintain emotional stability
As we all know, the impact of whether the emotional state is maintained or not has been very large on blood pressure fluctuations. Therefore, for patients with hypertension, if you want to maintain blood pressure stability as much as possible, you must actively avoid excessive agitation or excessive anxiety.
Otherwise, as the mood gradually gets out of control, it is easy to cause excessive blood pressure to rise, and the adverse effects on the patient's physical health will be very serious.
The above is an introduction of important matters that patients with hypertension still need to actively pay attention to in the process of timely medication. For such knowledge, patients with hypertension must have a correct attitude, otherwise once the blood pressure is out of control due to improper behavior, it is easy to cause serious harm to the control effect of the disease.
