For patients who have been diagnosed with essential hypertension, they must be very concerned about their blood pressure changes, often measuring blood pressure after waking up in the morning.
Because in clinical view, the blood pressure changes in Chinese basically show a change trend of "two peaks and one valley", that is, two blood pressure peaks and a low period will be ushered in in a day.
Usually, 6-10 o'clock after waking up in the morning is the first peak period of blood pressure, and even if the blood pressure fluctuates at this stage, it is within the scope of clinical normality.
However, patients with hypertension are not the same, and blood pressure may be significantly elevated at this time. For patients who have developed atherosclerosis, a sudden increase in blood pressure is likely to cause a sudden outbreak of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease.
It should be known that the fundamental purpose of the treatment of hypertensive patients is to make the blood pressure fully stable, thereby reducing the chance of various complications. After waking up in the morning, it is a critical period to control blood pressure.
If you want to fully stabilize your blood pressure and reduce the chance of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents, patients should not only take various drugs according to the doctor's recommendations, but also do the following three points:
1, do not get up suddenly
Usually, in the middle of the night, it is the stage when the heart rate is the slowest and the blood pressure is lowest. After waking up, the central system begins to function, the heartbeat gradually returns to normal, and blood pressure begins to rise.
If you wake up immediately after waking up, the burden of heart pumping blood will not only increase, easily let the brain fall into a state of ischemic oxygen, and even cause a sudden increase in blood pressure and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease attacks.
Therefore, clinical patients with hypertension do not recommend getting up and moving immediately, but first lying on the bed to move their hands and feet, slowly sitting up and resting for 5-10 minutes, and then starting to get up and move;
2: Bring a glass of warm boiling water
At night, it seems that they have entered a state of sleep, but in fact, the various organs of the whole body are still working, especially the kidneys will constantly filter the blood, intercept the water in the blood, generate urine, and at the same time, when people breathe and sweat at night, they will also consume a lot of water.
Therefore, after getting up, the body is in a state of extreme lack of water, and the blood viscosity is relatively high. Therefore, it is clinically recommended that patients with hypertension should first supplement about 200ml of warm water after waking up in the morning, which can not only wake up the sleeping stomach and intestines, let them start to work, but also play a role in diluting the blood, which is helpful for stabilizing blood pressure;
3. Avoid strenuous exercise
It has to be said that patients with hypertension do need physical exercise, no matter in which age group to diagnose hypertension, they should choose the right physical exercise program according to their actual situation. Through physical exercise, it can not only improve cardiopulmonary activity, but also play a role in dilating blood vessels and reducing blood pressure.
However, exercise does not equal strenuous exercise, let alone start exercising immediately after waking up in the morning. Still that sentence, the morning rise itself is the peak period of blood pressure, the result of strenuous exercise, is to increase the heart's pumping burden, blood flow to the limbs, brain blood supply is obviously insufficient, prone to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents.
Therefore, patients with hypertension should avoid exercise during peak blood pressure and try to choose soothing aerobic exercise.
In addition to the above three things, patients with hypertension have many precautions in the morning, such as not being able to stool hard, not being angry, not eating a lot of greasy and high-calorie foods, and so on.
Of course, it should be emphasized here that any life and diet adjustment cannot replace the efficacy of drugs. If you want to stabilize your blood pressure, patients should also take various antihypertensive drugs according to the doctor's recommendations, and have good medication compliance.
