Winter is coming soon, especially for patients with chronic diseases with hypertension , because blood pressure often increases repeatedly in winter. Let’s take a look at what should patients with hypertension pay attention to in response to this situation in winter:
First of all, the weather in the south or north is relatively stimulating relative to the human body. The most common principle is the principle of thermal expansion and contraction. In summer, blood vessels will be diluted. Many people’s blood pressure will be relatively low in summer. When blood pressure contracts in winter, it will be relatively difficult to control blood pressure. Therefore, you need to monitor your blood pressure regularly in winter. If the blood pressure fluctuates greatly, you must adjust the dosage of antihypertensive drugs under the guidance of a doctor to achieve stable blood pressure. At present, effectively control blood pressure within the normal range and avoid complications.
Second, since many patients will experience morning peak blood pressure, and getting up in the morning will cause sympathetic nerve excitement. If conditions permit, it is recommended to measure blood pressure once in the morning. If there are patients with morning peak, avoid exercise in the morning. If blood pressure is not ideal, it is necessary to adjust antihypertensive drugs.
In the third winter, patients with hypertension have not been advised to exercise in the morning because the temperature is too low in the morning. If you want to increase your activities, it is recommended to increase your exercise appropriately in the afternoon or after dinner. At the same time, special attention should be paid to avoid emotional excitement and fatigue in staying up late, which is also a major factor in inducing blood pressure fluctuations.
