High blood pressure must be no stranger to everyone, this is one of the most high-incidence chronic diseases in the mainland, the total number of people affected has reached nearly 300 million!
The so-called hypertension, as the name suggests, it refers to the patient's arterial blood pressure exceeding the normal standard. Usually, there are two main parts of the blood pressure test, which are diastolic blood pressure and systolic blood pressure.
As far as the current clinical diagnostic criteria for hypertension are concerned, as long as the blood pressure exceeds 140/90mmhg or more, it can be diagnosed as hypertension. More than 95% of all patients with hypertension in the mainland have not found a clear cause of the disease, that is, they have suffered from primary hypertensive diseases.
Many people have a rather wrong interpretation of high blood pressure, believing that only a double increase in systolic and diastolic blood pressure can be diagnosed with high blood pressure.
As everyone knows, there are many types of hypertension in the clinic, and the two indicators of confirmed hypertension can be diagnosed together or judged separately. Hypertension can be diagnosed regardless of which systolic or diastolic blood pressure is above the normal range.
If the patient's systolic blood pressure is at a normal level, but the diastolic blood pressure exceeds the normal standard, this condition is clinically called simple diastolic hypertension, and it is more common in young and middle-aged people. The factors of its disease are related to many factors such as long-term work pressure, excessive stress and busy life, less exercise, and unhealthy diet.
Affected by these factors, the resistance of the peripheral arterioles of the patient increases abnormally, and the arteries appear spasms and damage. However, in patients with hypertension in the simple diastolic pressure period, the blood vessels do not actually have substantial damage in the true sense, so there is actually a certain possibility of reversal of hypertension at this stage.
If they do not want to develop more severe hypertension in the future, patients can adjust in the following four ways:
1. Exercise
The impact of exercise on blood pressure control is mainly two aspects, the first is to consume excess fat in the body through exercise, play a role in controlling weight, some patients with mild hypertension, after the weight is effectively controlled, blood pressure will gradually return to normal.
Second, exercise can promote blood circulation in the body, play a role in dilating blood vessels and lowering blood pressure. Therefore, patients with mild hypertension should reasonably arrange physical exercise 3-5 times a week, and each time it is maintained for about 30 to 40 minutes;
2. Scientific sleep
Relevant research surveys show that long-term staying up late and lack of sleep are also one of the risk factors for the emergence of hypertension. Because in the process of staying up late, the central system is more excited, which will promote the secretion of hormones such as epinephrine and catecholamines, resulting in an increase in heart rate and increased blood pressure.
Therefore, if you want to avoid blood pressure growth, you should pay attention to adjusting the sleep time, and it is scientifically recommended that adults should fall asleep before 11 o'clock every night and maintain at least 6-8 hours of sleep every day;
3. Light diet
Many people with high blood pressure focus on dietary adjustments to quit greasy foods, high-calorie or high-sugar foods. As everyone knows, patients with high blood pressure need to maintain a light diet, not only to control calories, but also to pay attention to the light taste of food, to avoid adding a lot of salt and condiments.
Because the salt intake exceeds the standard, a large amount of sodium ions will precipitate in the body, resulting in water and sodium retention, increased blood volume, and further increased blood pressure. Therefore, science recommends that patients with hypertension need to limit salt daily, preferably controlled below 5 grams;
4. Learn to relax
Long-term mental tension, emotional overexcitement and anxiety, and being affected by contrast or poor visual stimulation can also cause an increase in blood pressure.
Therefore, patients with hypertension should learn to regulate their emotions and release stress through other means, such as exercising, listening to music, and watching lighthearted movies.
Finally, we should remind everyone that in patients with hypertension during the simple diastolic period, doctors usually recommend that patients adjust from the aspects of life and diet, and regularly measure blood pressure.
If it is found that the adjustment of life is not effective, the diastolic blood pressure is still rising, or the systolic blood pressure exceeds the normal standard, in this case, the best treatment is to use drugs according to the doctor's recommendation.
