Preface
On a weekend morning, when the sun poured into the bedroom through the gaps in the curtains, Wang Yuting slowly opened her eyes.
She stretched and turned to look at her husband Sun Zhiqiang, who was still asleep beside her.
She found that Sun Zhiqiang was pale, short of breath, and seemed to be very uncomfortable.
Wang Yuting's heart tightened, and she quickly shook him awake, but found that Sun Zhiqiang had lost consciousness.
Wang Yuting panicked, she trembled and dialed the 120 emergency number. On the way to the ambulance, countless thoughts flashed through her mind:
Sun Zhiqiang was fine last night, why did he suddenly fall unconscious? He usually has a lot of work pressure and often stays up late and works overtime, is it because of his hard work? Or is there something you haven't told yourself?
An ambulance roared and took Sun Zhiqiang to the nearest hospital.
After a series of tests, the doctor told Wang Yuting that Sun Zhiqiang had a stroke caused by high blood pressure.
Wang Yuting suddenly realized that Sun Zhiqiang had often complained of headaches and dizziness recently, but because of his busy work, he never had time to go to the hospital for examination.
Doctors explain that high blood pressure is one of the main risk factors for stroke.
If high blood pressure is not controlled in time, blood vessels will be in a state of high pressure for a long time, which can easily lead to arteriosclerosis, blood vessel rupture or blockage, and thus cause stroke.
The period from 6 a.m. to 12 p.m. is the period of high incidence of myocardial infarction and stroke, accounting for more than 60% of the incidence throughout the day.
Only then did Wang Yuting realize the dangers of high blood pressure. She recalled Sun Zhiqiang's usual unhealthy living habits:
Frequent eating of high-salt, high-fat foods, lack of exercise, and lack of sleep caused by staying up late and working overtime for a long time.
All of these factors undoubtedly increase the risk of high blood pressure.
The doctor warned Wang Yuting to do a good job in Sun Zhiqiang's postoperative rehabilitation and daily management.
First of all, the diet should be low in salt and fat, and eat more vegetables and fruits. The second is to insist on reasonable exercise, such as walking, jogging, tai chi and other aerobic exercises.
Finally, get enough sleep and avoid staying up late. It is also important to monitor blood pressure regularly and, if necessary, take antihypertensive medications to keep your blood pressure within the ideal range.
Wang Yuting suddenly realized, she secretly made up her mind that she must help Sun Zhiqiang develop healthy living habits.
During her hospitalization, she changed her tricks every day to cook light and delicious meals for Sun Zhiqiang.
During the break, she accompanied Sun Zhiqiang to walk and chat in the garden of the hospital. In the evening, she urged Sun Zhiqiang to take his medicine on time and rest early.
Under Wang Yuting's careful care, Sun Zhiqiang's condition was quickly controlled.
After being discharged from the hospital, the couple encouraged each other to change their unhealthy lifestyles in the past.
Sun Zhiqiang quit smoking and drinking, and began to pay attention to a balanced diet. He took his blood pressure once a day, in the morning and in the evening, and recorded it in his notebook.
After waking up in the morning, the couple would go for a walk in the park and do tai chi together. In her spare time, Wang Yuting will also check relevant health knowledge on the Internet and explain it to Sun Zhiqiang.
Through the thrill of this stroke, Sun Zhiqiang and Wang Yuting both realized the preciousness of life.
They decided that they wanted to work together and live the rest of their lives in good health. They often tell each other:
"No matter how busy you are, you have to pay attention to your body, high blood pressure is not a joke! Especially during the period from 6 a.m. to 12 noon, you must take precautions. "
This story is also a wake-up call for each of us.
High blood pressure is known as the "silent killer" because it may have no obvious symptoms in the early stages.
However, if it is allowed to develop, it may lead to fatal complications such as heart attack and stroke. We must be vigilant, get rid of unhealthy habits, eat reasonably, exercise moderately, ensure sleep, and have regular physical examinations.
Especially for middle-aged and elderly people, it is necessary to pay more attention to the high-risk period from 6 a.m. to 12 noon, and do a good job in blood pressure monitoring and medication.
Only by managing the "invisible killer" of high blood pressure can we have a healthy and happy life.
