As the temperature drops, various chronic diseases gradually occur, such as hypertension . Many patients will find that their blood pressure is relatively stable in summer, and when the temperature drops, they will be ready to move, even bringing various complications. As the autumn and winter begin, many hypertensive patients are anxious and worried, fearing that their blood pressure will fluctuate. In fact, as long as relevant measures are taken in the autumn and winter, blood pressure can generally be stabilized.
Why does blood pressure fluctuate easily when the temperature drops?
After entering autumn and winter, the temperature gradually drops, and the temperature is easily stimulated by the cold and contracts, causing the arterial blood vessels to be squeezed, and the systolic pressure and diastolic pressure will also increase. Patients with hypertension have weak adaptability to cold and blood pressure regulation, and will have obvious blood pressure fluctuations.
In addition, the weather becomes cooler, and the cold stimulates sympathetic nerve to make it excited, the heartbeat will speed up, the heart contraction will increase, which will also cause blood pressure to rise.
How to stabilize blood pressure in autumn and winter?
1. Take good measures to keep warm
The temperature drops and the weather is cold. Add clothing according to the temperature, especially for patients with weak resistance. Wear a mask, hat, scarf, gloves, etc. when going out to avoid the cold invasion of the body.
2. Diet should be low in fat and low in salt
. The temperature will drop, the body's calorie demand will increase, and the diet will be high in calories and high in fat, but eating too much of these foods can easily lead to increased blood pressure. Therefore, patients with hypertension should keep their diet light, avoid high fat and high salt, and prevent blood pressure fluctuations.
3. Get up slowly in the morning
If patients with hypertension do not pay attention to getting up in the morning, it is easy to cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases , such as myocardial infarction, cerebral hemorrhage , cerebral infarction , etc. Therefore, get up slowly in the morning, do not suddenly get up from the bed, wake up for a minute before getting up slowly, so that the body can gradually adapt. And you should wear a coat immediately after getting up to avoid catching a cold.
4. Can't exercise on an empty stomach
Most patients with hypertension have the habit of going out to exercise in the morning, and many people will eat after exercise, but be careful to choose to exercise after the sun comes out, and they cannot exercise on an empty stomach. Eating on an empty stomach is prone to hypotension , dizziness and other discomfort, and accidents are prone to occur during exercise.
5. Maintain good living habits
Staying up late regularly will lead to an increase in adrenaline secretion, which is not conducive to controlling blood pressure, especially in winter, blood pressure is prone to fluctuations. Staying up late regularly will cause blood pressure to rise faster, so you must maintain good living habits and not stay up late.
Warm reminder that patients with hypertension should strictly control their blood pressure after the autumn and winter, follow-up visits should be conducted regularly, and take medication on time under the guidance of a doctor. In addition, we must quit smoking and quit drinking to avoid harmful substances in tobacco and alcohol from damaging blood vessels and affecting blood pressure. If you are accompanied by other diseases, such as hyperlipidemia, , hyperglycemia, , etc., you should also control the indicators to avoid the rise of other indicators and affect blood pressure.
