Hypertension is now running around the buttocks of Chinese people.
Be aware that blood pressure is the pressure generated by the flow of blood in the blood vessels.
When blood pressure levels exceed the normal range, it will adversely affect physical health. If the systolic blood pressure is greater than or equal to 140mmHg, and the diastolic blood pressure is greater than 90mmHg. If it does not return to normal levels for a long time, it is judged to be high blood pressure.
In the work of a doctor, blood pressure is really difficult.
Except for a small number of refractory hypertension, it is indeed difficult to lower blood pressure, but for most patients, it is just because of disobedience.
Uncontrolled blood pressure is no joke
High blood pressure over a long period of time can cause chronic damage to a person’s heart, brain, kidneys, and other organs.
For example, chronic hypertension can stimulate cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and interstitial fibrosis, resulting in left ventricular hypertrophy and dilation< /strong>, resulting in high blood pressure and new heart disease.
For example, long-term hypertension can lead to ischemia and degeneration of cerebral blood vessels, resulting in microaneurysms, which may cause cerebral aneurysm once ruptured. bleeding.
For example, long-term hypertension can lead to glomerular necrosis, resulting in renal failure, especially in patients with diabetes, the risk is higher .
……..
Therefore, in order to avoid the occurrence of high blood pressure, it is necessary to stay away from the risk factors of high blood pressure as much as possible.
What are some common misconceptions about high blood pressure?
But in the process of reducing blood pressure, many people often do not cooperate well.
Either you don’t take medicines well; or you take medicines indiscriminately, and the standard antihypertensive drugs will be afraid of side effects; After taking the pressure medicine, it was effective, so I was anxious to buy other people’s medicine to eat.
So, what are the misunderstandings in the treatment of hypertension?
1. Don’t take medicine without symptoms
The more common symptoms of high blood pressure are dizziness, headache, insomnia, etc., but there are also many patients who have no symptoms and relax their vigilance.
In fact, no symptoms does not mean no harm. If the drug is stopped without authorization, the blood pressure will continue to rise, which may eventually lead to problems such as myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction.
Therefore, patients should not decide whether to take medicine by whether they have symptoms or not, but should judge the condition according to the level of blood pressure.
2. Dependence on antihypertensive drugs
Many patients believe that antihypertensive drugs are addictive, and once they start taking them, they cannot stop.
In fact, the reason why high blood pressure needs long-term medication, once the medication is stopped, the blood pressure may rise, not because the body becomes dependent on the medication, some patients with mild hypertension can improve their lives by improving their lives. If the blood pressure eventually returns to normal, the drug can be discontinued under the guidance of a doctor.
3. Stop the drug if the blood pressure is normal
Some patients rush to take medicine when their blood pressure rises, and stop the medicine without authorization when their blood pressure is normal.
This method of medication will cause blood pressure to fluctuate for a long time. Once blood pressure fluctuates, complications such as myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction will follow.
4. Excessive dependence on drugs and neglect of lifestyle improvements
A poor lifestyle can induce high blood pressureOne of the important factors in the development of blood pressure is that many patients only focus on taking medicines, but do not correct their unhealthy lifestyles in time, which will lead to unsatisfactory blood pressure control.
Patients should pay attention to improving their lifestyle while taking antihypertensive drugs, avoid smoking and drinking, pay attention to low-salt and low-fat diet, and insist on moderate exercise, which can better control blood pressure.
5. Blind trust in health products
With the continuous growth of the hypertensive population, many businesses have begun to use patients’ psychology to blindly exaggerate the antihypertensive effects of various health care products.
In fact, most health care products cannot achieve the purpose of treatment. If you rely on these health care products to lower blood pressure, even if there are no side effects, the treatment of hypertension may be delayed.
6. The sooner blood pressure drops, the better
Lowering blood pressure is a gradual process. If the blood pressure is lowered too fast, it is likely to induce some cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications.
Therefore, in the process of treating high blood pressure, patients should start with a small dose, and do not blindly increase the dose to avoid harm to the body.
7. Antihypertensive drugs have side effects
Many patients feel that antihypertensive drugs have serious side effects and are very resistant to them.
In fact, compared with the harm caused by high blood pressure, the side effects of antihypertensive drugs are very mild, and patients should not stop eating because of choking.
All in all, if you want a blood pressure drug that works well and has fewer side effects, you often just need to listen to your doctor.
Don’t eat or tune things indiscriminately. After all, professional things must be done by professional people.
