Warm reminder
. Prevent hypertension, start from every day: limit salt to lose weight and exercise, quit smoking and alcohol, calm the mindset
1. Restrict sodium salt intake: excessive sodium salt intake will increase the risk of hypertension, and long-term salt can delay the increase of blood pressure with age. WHO recommends that each person eat salt intake shall not exceed 5g/day.
2. Weight loss: Overweight and obesity can promote blood pressure to rise and increase the risk of hypertension. Abdominal obesity may have a stronger correlation with hypertension. It is recommended that people with overweight and obese lose weight.
3. Moderate exercise: Exercise can reduce sympathetic activity, relieve tension, reduce weight, and reduce the risk of hypertension. It is recommended to exercise appropriately according to your own conditions, perform muscle strength and flexibility exercises.
4. Quit smoking: Smoking can increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease . It is recommended to quit smoking (including traditional cigarettes and e-cigarettes).
5. Avoid alcohol: Drinking a lot of alcohol will increase blood pressure, and not drinking alcohol is the most beneficial to health. It is recommended that patients with hypertension do not drink alcohol.
6. Maintain psychological balance: Long-term mental tension or anxiety and depression can increase the risk of hypertension. You should maintain a positive and optimistic attitude, avoid negative emotions, and actively accept psychological intervention if necessary.
. Blood pressure exceeds 130/80 (mmHg) You should pay attention to
1. Without using antihypertensive drugs, if the blood pressure exceeds 140/90mmHg three times on the same day, it can be diagnosed as hypertension and start lifestyle intervention and drug treatment.
2. Blood pressure exceeds 130/80mmHg and should attract attention. As the blood pressure rises, it may bring harm to the heart, brain and kidneys. It is recommended to start lifestyle intervention.
. Control hypertension and protect the heart, brain and kidney
1. The main harm of hypertension is to cause damage to important organs such as the heart, brain and kidney, and even endanger life. Therefore, active treatment should be taken to control blood pressure. Treatment strategies include healthy lifestyle and medication.
2. A healthy lifestyle can effectively reduce blood pressure or directly reduce the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases (Healthy Lifestyle Six Section: limiting salt and weight loss and exercise more, quitting smoking and drinking, and having a calm mind). All patients should adhere to a healthy lifestyle.
3. Patients with hypertensive who cannot meet the standards through lifestyle intervention alone should actively receive antihypertensive drugs.
4. Smoothly reduce blood pressure, long-term compliance with the standards
1. Patients with hypertension should insist on taking medicine for a long time and encourage the choice of long-acting antihypertensive drugs that can be taken once a day to ensure stable blood pressure.
2. Blood pressure compliance standards: Generally, patients with hypertension have a blood pressure drop of less than 140/90mmHg. Patients with diabetes , coronary heart disease , heart failure or chronic renal disease with proteinuria should reduce it to less than 130/80mmHg; patients aged 65 to 79 years old will reduce the blood pressure to less than 140/90mmHg. If tolerated, it can further reduce it to less than 130/80mmHg; patients aged 80 and above will reduce it to less than 140/90mmHg.
