Some people say that hypertension is a "fussy" and tiresome problem. As long as you are a little bit careless, the blood pressure value will rise unrestrainedly. Especially in autumn, which is a transitional season, the climate changes from summer to winter and the temperature turns from hot to cool. The weather is sometimes cold and sometimes hot and repeats frequently. Hypertensive patients can't adapt to it, so autumn can be regarded as the "devil season" for hypertension. In this autumn with unstable temperatures, hypertensive patients need to pay attention to the following six points to stabilize their blood pressure:
Follow the doctor's instructions on taking medications. This is of the utmost importance. Don't stop taking medications, change medications or increase or decrease the dosage on your own. Do a good job in daily blood pressure monitoring. If there are any changes, inform the doctor in time to see if it is necessary to adjust the medication treatment plan.
Eat a light diet. There is a saying about "gaining weight in autumn", but hypertensive patients still need to control their diet and avoid eating a lot of meat and greasy foods. Such foods may lead to the accumulation of cholesterol and fat, clogging blood vessels and causing dangerous situations such as cerebral infarction and stroke.
Don't "resist the autumn cold". In autumn, it's cool in the morning and evening and hot during the day. You should put on clothes in time and don't be greedy for coolness. Pay special attention to keeping the head, ears, hands and feet warm so that the body's perceived temperature remains basically constant and avoid the body being stimulated by temperature changes.
Get up slowly. During sleep, various physiological functions operate at a low speed, the metabolic level drops, the heart rate slows down and the blood pressure decreases. When people wake up and change from a deep sleep state to an active state, if they get out of bed immediately or make large movements, it's easy to induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Don't exercise vigorously. Moderate exercise also has a good effect on lowering blood pressure, but don't exercise vigorously. Hypertensive patients should try their best to avoid strength exercises such as pushing, pulling and lifting or breath-holding exercises. They should choose exercise items that are whole-body, rhythmic and easy to relax.
Speak slowly. Speaking too fast can easily make emotions excited and nervous, prompting the sympathetic nerve to be excited, causing blood vessels to contract and triggering or aggravating the recurrence of hypertension, heart disease and so on. You should regulate and control your emotions, keep a happy mood and prevent blood pressure fluctuations. In many cases, the impact of hypertension on the human body is like "boiling a frog in warm water". You may not feel uncomfortable in the beginning period, but if the body is in a "high-pressure" state for a long time, it will gradually cause damage to the internal organs. So we must attach importance to hypertension.
