World Hypertension Day is celebrated on 17 May every year. Hypertension is one of the "three highs", and once it occurs, it is necessary to control blood pressure for a long time.
When the temperature rises in the summer, many people may find that their blood pressure has decreased, so they mistakenly think that their blood pressure is getting better, but this is not accurate. Even if blood pressure drops in the summer, we still need to continue to monitor and prevent blood pressure.
Many patients with hypertension eventually die not because of high blood pressure, but because of other diseases caused by high blood pressure, such as coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, heart failure, cerebral thrombosis, cerebral hemorrhage, hypertensive nephropathy, etc.
However, there are some people who are unaware that their blood pressure has elevated and never measure their blood pressure; There are also some people who are too "tolerant" of high blood pressure, knowing that they have high blood pressure but do not treat it formally; There are also some people who take blood pressure medication who think that it is enough to control their blood pressure below 140/90 mm Hg...... These are all wrong ideas and practices!
In addition to correcting unhealthy lifestyle habits, such as overeating, eating too much salt, exercising less, obese, persistent mental stress, lack of sleep, and often drinking a lot of alcohol, it is also necessary to measure blood pressure regularly, detect abnormalities in blood pressure as soon as possible, and control blood pressure well. These are important measures to protect the health of your heart, brain and kidneys.
