High blood pressure For humans, it is an "invisible killer". It is difficult to detect without a physical examination, and it will cause unexpected harm to people. Long-term high blood pressure will not only cause cardiovascular damage, but also cause A series of serious complications.
The 2021 global hypertension epidemiology report written by the medical journal "The Lancet" shows that in the past 30 years, the number of patients with hypertension aged 30 to 79 has increased from 650 million to 1.28 billion, and among them Nearly half of patients are unaware of their condition.
Although the prevalence of hypertension is very high around the world, the public does not know enough about hypertension. Many diagnosed patients with hypertension also lack a comprehensive understanding of their condition and believe that as long as they reduce their sodium intake, everything will be fine. As everyone knows, for patients with hypertension, life is full of hidden dangers.
Based on the fact that Mr. Li had no complications and was in good health, the doctor recommended that Mr. Li undergo drug treatment and improve his daily living behavior and eating habits; drug treatment mainly involves taking antihypertensive drugs on time, and paying attention to careful control in daily life. Weight, reduce sodium intake, increase exercise, quit smoking, and go to the hospital for regular blood pressure checks.
Mr. Li followed the doctor's advice carefully during the period after the diagnosis. His previously heavy diet gradually became lighter, and he had the habit of running at night. He did not feel any discomfort in his body. The doctor also believed that he was aware of his high blood pressure. Controlled relatively well.
Until last month’s birthday, Mr. Li was about to retire, so he invited his colleagues from the work unit to celebrate together at his home. The colleagues from the work unit were also more enthusiastic and brought cakes and wine to Mr. Li’s home to celebrate Mr. Li’s birthday together. That night, Mr. Li thought that his high blood pressure was well controlled, and because he was excited, he drank with his colleagues.
After drinking and drinking, Mr. Li felt a little dizzy and had a headache. He thought it was a reaction to being drunk, so he sat on the sofa to rest. When his colleagues noticed that Mr. Li had not made a sound for a long time, they discovered that Mr. Li was unconscious and hurriedly sent him to the hospital. Go to the hospital for treatment.
When he was in the ambulance, his vital signs were measured and it was found that Mr. Li's blood pressure had reached the standard of grade three hypertension . When he arrived at the hospital, a brain CT was performed. After the examination, it was found that Mr. Li had a ruptured blood vessel in his brain, which was hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage. This made my colleagues anxious. Although they knew that Mr. Li had high blood pressure, they never thought that a few bottles of wine would cause it. Mr. Li's cerebral hemorrhage .
Not only are ordinary people like Mr. Li’s colleagues ignorant of high blood pressure, but Mr. Li himself also has little knowledge of his condition. The society calls on the public to understand the pathogenesis of hypertension and the importance of controlling blood pressure.
1. What is high blood pressure?
Hypertension is complicated for the public. Why do you say this? Because there are many factors in life, such as long-term mental stress, unreasonable dietary structure, obesity, etc., which can lead to an increase in blood pressure, further induce high blood pressure, and eventually produce a series of serious and difficult-to-treat complications. , but hypertension Prevention is very simple, and with healthy living habits and dietary structure, it is usually difficult to suffer from it.
Most people think that hypertension refers to elevated blood pressure, but the definition of hypertension is systolic blood pressure greater than 140mmHg, diastolic blood pressure greater than 90mmHg, and according to the values of systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure, it is divided into first-level hypertension and second-level hypertension. Grade 3 hypertension and grade 3 hypertension, namely mild, moderate and severe.
Clinically, hypertension is divided into primary and secondary types. More than 90% of patients have essential hypertension . The main goals of treatment are to control blood pressure and reduce the risk of complications.
The early symptoms of hypertension vary from person to person, but usually the symptoms are not obvious or asymptomatic. Common symptoms such as dizziness, headache, fatigue, heart palpitations, etc. usually appear during strenuous exercise or emotional excitement, so they often No one would associate these symptoms with high blood pressure.
Therefore, regular physical examinations are of great help to the detection rate of hypertension , and can allow patients with hypertension to intervene in the early stage and effectively improve their living standards after the disease.
Although patients like Mr. Li know their condition, they think that their blood pressure is well controlled, so they relax their vigilance, which induces the rupture of cerebral blood vessels and leads to serious illnesses such as cerebral hemorrhage.
After rescue, Mr. Li’s vital signs stabilized, but he still needed to be hospitalized for observation. After asking Mr. Li’s wife, the doctor learned that Although Mr. Li had changed his previous heavy diet, he still had at home after get off work The habit of "having a drink" , because I usually drink a small amount and do not have any obvious symptoms, I think it will not have much impact on my high blood pressure, but doctors remind: the root of high blood pressure Not just salt, many foods may affect the control of high blood pressure.
2. For patients with high blood pressure, they should eat less of these two foods
Perhaps most patients with high blood pressure like Mr. Li will think that high blood pressure is caused by a high-sodium diet, so as long as the sodium is controlled Salt intake can control blood pressure.
Although patients with hypertension must control their sodium intake, the above view is one-sided. For patients with hypertension, there are many risk factors that may induce an increase in blood pressure, and these risk factors are also synergistic. The root cause of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Comprehensive treatment is needed for high blood pressure. The most important factor is diet. For patients with high blood pressure, these two foods should be eaten less:
High-oil foods contain a large amount of saturated fatty acids. Excessive intake will cause the body's blood lipids to rise. High blood lipids in the human body can easily induce atherosclerosis, which will not only cause blood pressure The blood vessel endothelium becomes very fragile, which can easily lead to blood vessel rupture and bleeding.
Excessive intake of sugar in the human body will lead to excessive secretion of insulin, When the level of insulin is high, it will stimulate the sympathetic nerve and excite the sympathetic nerve . When the sympathetic nerve is excited, it will cause blood vessels to contract, This increases blood pressure.
For patients with high blood pressure, foods high in oil and sugar will accelerate the development of atherosclerosis. If you want to control your blood pressure, you must first keep your mouth shut. Although there is no necessary connection between high blood sugar and high blood pressure, the two often coexist. Therefore, patients with high blood pressure also need to eat less sweets, drink less drinks, control blood sugar, and try to stay away from greasy foods.
Patients with high blood pressure who drink alcohol for a long time or even drink too much may induce cerebral hemorrhage like Mr. Li did. After alcohol enters the human body, it will cause sympathetic nerve excitement and increase the secretion of angiotensin, thereby causing an increase in blood pressure . For patients with hypertension, an abnormal increase in blood pressure may cause the already fragile blood vessels to rupture more easily. Bleeding, and if the important blood vessels of important organs rupture, such as Mr. Li's cerebral hemorrhage due to alcoholism, if treatment is not timely, serious situations such as paralysis or even death may occur.
Patients with high blood pressure need to take care of their mouths on weekdays. Even if they take antihypertensive drugs on time and have good blood pressure control, they cannot indulge themselves once or twice. It may be because they are irresponsible to themselves. It resulted in irreparable consequences.
We often say that patients with high blood pressure need to control the amount of salt they consume because the essence of salt is sodium chloride . Excessive intake of sodium ions can cause high blood pressure, and most seasonings contain sodium. , the root cause of high blood pressure is not just salt.
3. Why is salt more than the root cause of high blood pressure?
Because whether it is salt or other condiments, they contain more or less sodium.
Sodium is one of the elements with the highest content in the human body. The human body supplements sodium by adding sodium salt and some seasonings during the cooking process of food. Not only can the food be more flavorful, but sodium also maintains the acid-base balance of the human body. Osmotic pressure , normal muscle excitability are important elements. Although sodium has an irreplaceable role in the human body, excessive sodium content will still cause damage to the human body.
Excessive sodium intake will lead to imbalance of the body's osmotic pressure , forming hypernatremia . The plasma osmotic pressure will increase and more tissue water will flow into the blood vessels, and the blood volume will increase. For The pressure in blood vessels increases, which is manifested in an increase in blood pressure.
In the case of excessive sodium intake for a long time, vascular resistance will increase when blood pressure rises, and blood vessels will also be damaged, causing increased load on the heart and kidneys, thus inducing compensatory thickening of the myocardium and abnormal renal function. etc. -, kidneys lead to heart failure , kidney failure.
Therefore, it is necessary to control sodium intake in daily life. You must not consume it or consume too much. Properly controlling sodium intake is the most effective measure to reduce cardiovascular disease.
Summary: Although high blood pressure is currently trending among younger people, more and more people are suffering from it. Just like Mr. Li, who was about to retire and enjoy his old age, but got high blood pressure. In the future, he will need antihypertensive drugs. companion. For this type of chronic disease, if Mr. Li could know the harm of high-sodium diet to the human body early, adjust his diet early, and adhere to a healthy lifestyle, he would be able to achieve the most effective treatment for high blood pressure before he gets sick. prevention.
Experts remind the public to follow a scientific lifestyle and diet to control blood pressure within a safe range and conduct regular blood pressure testing. Good self-management must be the most important step in preventing and treating hypertension.
