Aunt Zhao is 68 years old this year, she has been taking antihypertensive drugs for several years, she is familiar with all kinds of antihypertensive drugs, and one morning when she was about to drink antihypertensive drugs, she found that there was no boiling water at home.
So she was lazy to drink with milk, but after a while, she felt very uncomfortable, and immediately used an electronic blood pressure monitor to measure that her blood pressure did not drop but rose, and later she learned that antihypertensive drugs could not be taken with milk.
Aunt Zhao's example reminds us that some antihypertensive drugs may interact with milk, and the culprit that affects the efficacy of the drug is calcium ions, which will cause the drug to not work well.
In addition, the tyramine in milk is also a factor in our blood pressure, so in order to ensure the effectiveness and safety of the drug, it is better to take it with water.
In addition to milk, it is also best not to coexist with antihypertensive drugs, such as grapefruit, which may have a risk of interacting with certain antihypertensive drugs, so it is best not to consume grapefruit or drink grapefruit juice at the same time while taking antihypertensive drugs.
The substances contained in grapefruit will make antihypertensive drugs "distracted", not to do their job well, but also to affect our body's metabolic process.
Specifically, grapefruit may be at risk of interacting with calcium channel blockers and certain negative muscle relaxants, which are commonly used in the treatment of high blood pressure.
It can be seen that it is very important to control the mouth we want to eat, and do not cause consequences that our bodies cannot bear because of the greed of the mouth.
In addition, patients with high blood pressure can not eat too much meat, for high blood pressure patients, it is more dangerous to control the intake of too many foods with high cholesterol content.
Consuming too much cholesterol may lead to elevated levels of cholesterol in the blood, increasing the risk of arteriosclerosis, which can aggravate high blood pressure conditions and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease attacks.
What are foods high in cholesterol? To put it bluntly, it is something that looks greasy, fat and animal offal can be counted in it.
People with high blood pressure are advised to reduce or avoid the intake of these high-cholesterol foods and choose low-fat, low-cholesterol alternatives to maintain a healthy diet.
In addition to limiting cholesterol intake, you should also pay attention to a balanced diet and eat more healthy fats such as green vegetables and fish and shrimp.
Also, do not eat more irritating foods, because it will adversely affect the blood pressure of hypertensive patients.
In addition, spicy food may also run to "bully" our fragile stomach, and then the stomach food will stay in the stomach and cannot go out, which will burden gastrointestinal health.
It is also important for people with high blood pressure to keep the digestive system stable and comfortable. Therefore, as a person with high blood pressure, it is wise to eat as few spicy and irritating foods as possible.
Finally, do not eat too salty things, too high salt intake is one of the important factors leading to high blood pressure. Sodium in food is the main source of salt, and a high-salt diet may lead to increased sodium levels in the body, which in turn can lead to higher blood pressure.
Sodium attracts and retains water, and when too much sodium is consumed, the body increases water accordingly, causing blood vessels to dilate to hold more blood, which increases blood pressure.
For people with high blood pressure, it is very important to strictly control salt intake. In addition to the normal addition of the dish, try not to eat extra salt. Protecting ourselves is the most important thing for us.
In fact, many people in real life will have some wrong ideas when taking antihypertensive drugs, and the following are some common misunderstandings related to taking antihypertensive drugs:
Blood pressure returns to normal after the first discontinuation, and antihypertensive drugs are usually used to control and maintain blood pressure within normal ranges.
After stopping the drug, blood pressure may rise again, so blood pressure control while taking the drug is very important. Before stopping the drug, the dose should be gradually reduced under the guidance of a doctor, and the decision to stop the drug should be decided under the guidance of the doctor.
The second misunderstanding is that antihypertensive drugs can lead to dependence, antihypertensive drugs do not make people physically dependent, but in many cases, hypertension is a long-term chronic disease, so long-term use of antihypertensive drugs may be required to control blood pressure.
The third myth is that one drug is suitable for all hypertensive patients, and everyone's physical condition and blood pressure control goals are different.
So different people may need different types of antihypertensive drugs or combinations. Choosing the right drug for you should be evaluated and decided by the doctor on an individual basis.
Many people will be afraid of antihypertensive drugs "nosy", in fact, antihypertensive drugs will only do their own thing, it will not add to our confusion, antihypertensive drugs are usually safe and effective, but some drugs may cause side effects.
In this case, doctors evaluate and adjust medication regimens based on the patient's overall condition and drug response.
