Early in the morning, I received a call from the family of my elementary school classmates in my hometown.
Suddenly paralyzed, I was admitted to the county hospital, asked me if I knew anyone, and called me to take care of it.
My elementary school classmate, Lao Wen, was a few years older than me, and when he graduated from elementary school, he went home and sold his food with his father. Although it is a primary school classmate, but the family has become a grandfather, we are only in junior high school, this is the gap.
4 years ago, I went back to my hometown for the New Year and met Lao Wen once. I was handed a cigarette and I said I didn't smoke. Old Wen said: Why, do you still think that the old classmates' cigarettes are too cheap and look down on them?
There was no way, I had to take Old Wen's cigarette and hold it in my hand.
As we talked, he said he had high blood pressure and asked me if there was anything that could be cured.
I asked him how high his blood pressure was?
Lao Wen said that after measuring several times, it was above 170/110, and there was no feeling.
I said such a high blood pressure, have to eat blood pressure, if you do not control blood pressure for a long time, then long-term hypertension will lead to cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, carotid artery plaque, myocardial infarction, cardiovascular stenosis, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, kidney failure, aortic dissection and so on.
So even if you don't feel it, you have to take antihypertensive drugs to lower your blood pressure to normal.
Lao Wen said: What I want is a folk remedy, a formula that can cure my high blood pressure.
I said: There is no folk remedy that can cure high blood pressure. Unless there is mild high blood pressure, through their own healthy diet, exercise, not staying up late, etc., blood pressure can return to normal. Most high blood pressures have to take medicine while living a healthy life to reduce blood pressure to normal levels. so as not to be dangerous.
Lao Wen said: The doctor also let me take antihypertensive drugs, but I think this antihypertensive drug must not be eaten, antihypertensive drugs will be addictive, I am not yet 50 years old, this antihypertensive medicine will have to eat for a lifetime.
I said: How can antihypertensive drugs be addictive? You smoke, if you don't smoke, if you feel bad, this is called addiction. You take antihypertensive drugs, which can lower your blood pressure to normal. Even if you don't take antihypertensive drugs, it won't make you uncomfortable.
You now have a blood pressure of 170/110, and taking antihypertensive drugs may lower your blood pressure to 130/80; if you don't take antihypertensive drugs, your blood pressure will return to 170/110 again. That is, to return to the level of not taking medicine, and not because of taking antihypertensive drugs, suddenly stop the drug, blood pressure is higher, as high as 180/120.
Lao Wen still didn't understand, I said: According to your statement, you should not have eaten when you were born, and your mother fed you food, and as a result, you can't live without food now. Rice addiction! You all blame your mother for feeding you, which is why you still have to eat so much every day, which is a waste.
Lao Wen also said solemnly: Rice can still be addicted, do not eat hungry! Aren't you raising the bar?
I said that this is a truth, eating is to solve the problem of hunger, taking antihypertensive drugs to solve the problem of high blood pressure.
It's not that the food will become addictive, you eat because you are hungry, so you have to eat; it is not that the antihypertensive drugs will become addictive, and you will have to take antihypertensive drugs later. It is because the blood pressure is high and dangerous, so it is necessary to take antihypertensive drugs.
I said this at the time, but he still thought that antihypertensive drugs were addictive, so he did not take antihypertensive drugs, and now he has cerebral infarction hemiplegia.
It seems that it is too difficult to change a person's preconceived notions!
I thought to myself, if I knew now, why did I have to use my hemiplegia, stroke, and hospitalization to verify that I was right? Are you wrong?
Old Wen is almost 50 years old, last year he hugged his grandson, it is said that the age is not big, but rural people are married early, which is also very normal. Old Wen lived a good life every day, and did not worry about eating or wearing. But Lao Wen is worried now, this brain infarction, the left side of the body can not move, what state can be restored in the future, it is not easy to say now.
Almost 50 years old, I have entered the joy of heaven early, I was able to listen to my words 4 years ago, control my blood pressure, and still enjoy the joy of heaven. However, a person's inherent thinking is particularly difficult to change, and many people have opinions and do not think.
You can't get him to change his own preconceived notions, just like they think that antihypertensive drugs are addictive and that antihypertensive drugs can't be taken, absolutely can't be changed.
They don't think about why either, but they always remember that this is "right".
Reason with them, try to change their views, make them accept new views, correct views, scientific views, just like we rural people say, throw away their ancestral graves.
Hey, this is also a difficult place for popular science, to change the inherent views of many people, it is too difficult and too difficult.
But in the end, it is those who hold stubborn views who suffer!
Finally, I would like to say that today we should first think about this problem, if you still think that antihypertensive drugs are addictive and refuse antihypertensive drugs, then don't worry about eating today, first discuss the problem of why you eat today before eating.
