Wang Qiang is an executive of a large company, and he is busy with work on weekdays, often socializing, and does not pay much attention to his diet.
Recently, he has found himself feeling often lightheaded, and sometimes experiencing slight chest tightness.
At first, he thought it was just too tiring from work, but the symptoms became more and more frequent, and he had to start paying attention to it.
At the urging of his wife, Wang Qiang decided to go to the hospital for a comprehensive physical examination.
The examination at the hospital was very detailed, and Wang Qiang underwent a series of tests such as blood pressure, electrocardiogram, blood and urine.
When he got the test report, he found that his blood pressure was somewhat abnormal.
The systolic blood pressure is as high as 150, while the diastolic blood pressure is only 80, a difference of 70, which is far beyond the normal range.
The doctor explained to Wang Qiang that this situation where the difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure is too large is called "pulse pressure difference" in medicine
A normal person's pulse pressure difference is usually between 40 and 60, but Wang Qiang's pulse pressure difference has reached a dangerous level.
"The larger the pulse pressure difference, the more effort the heart needs to put in to maintain blood circulation, which increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis and heart failure in the long run."
"Moreover, a large difference in pulse pressure can also lead to serious consequences such as stroke and kidney failure." "
Wang Qiang realized the seriousness of the situation, and he asked the doctor if there was anything he could do to improve the situation.
It is necessary to control the diet reasonably, reduce the intake of high-salt and high-fat foods, eat more vegetables and fruits, and maintain a balanced nutrition. "
You usually socialize a lot and eat irregularly, which can be a significant cause of blood pressure problems. The doctor analyzed.
Secondly, moderate exercise, such as walking, jogging, swimming and other aerobic exercises, can not only help control blood pressure, but also strengthen the cardiovascular system.
"Exercise can improve blood circulation, reduce vascular resistance, and is very helpful in reducing pulse pressure differences." The doctor added.
Finally, learn to relax and avoid excessive tension and anxiety.
Long-term mental stress can cause blood pressure to rise, worsening the pulse pressure difference.
"You have a lot of pressure at work, so you have to learn to arrange your time reasonably and give yourself some space to relax." The doctor advised.
Wang Qiang followed the doctor's advice and began to adjust his lifestyle.
I reduced socializing, insisted on walking for half an hour every day, and paid more attention to the combination of meat and vegetables in my diet.
I also learned some relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing, meditation, etc., to relieve work stress.
Gradually, Wang Qiang felt that his physical condition had improved significantly, and the symptoms of dizziness and chest tightness had been reduced a lot.
Three months later, he went to the hospital again for a follow-up check-up, and his blood pressure had dropped to 130/80 and the pulse pressure difference had narrowed to the normal range.
The doctor spoke highly of his change and encouraged him to continue to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
In the fast-paced, high-stress modern life, many people face blood pressure problems, especially the hidden health threat of excessive pulse pressure difference.
It may not have as obvious symptoms as high blood pressure, but in the long run, it can also cause serious damage to cardiovascular health.
Therefore, we should pay more attention to blood pressure health and have regular physical examinations to understand our blood pressure.
If you find that the pulse pressure difference is too large, you must adjust your lifestyle in time, control your diet, keep exercising, and learn to relax.
These seemingly simple changes can have unexpected effects.
Of course, in the face of the problem of excessive pulse pressure difference, in addition to lifestyle adjustments, sometimes it is necessary to use some drugs under the guidance of doctors, such as antihypertensive drugs, lipid regulating drugs, etc.
However, whether it is life intervention or medication, it needs to be carried out under the guidance of a professional doctor, and it must not be acted blindly to avoid counterproduction.
In addition, we need to realize that blood pressure health is not achieved overnight, it requires long-term and sustained efforts.
Developing healthy lifestyle habits is not a whim, but a lifelong choice.
Only by implementing health management into every bit of daily life.
Only then can we truly stay away from the threat of cardiovascular disease and enjoy a higher quality of life.
Wang's story reminds us that a large pulse pressure difference is a dangerous health signal and reminds us to pay more attention to blood pressure health.
Whether we are ordinary white-collar workers or corporate executives, we must start from our daily lives and develop healthy diet, exercise and psychological adjustment habits.
and maintain good communication with doctors. Only in this way can we truly take care of our cardiovascular health.
Stay away from illness and embrace a better life.
