In the past few days, everyone should have been confused by the hypertension . I just heard that the blood pressure standard had been lowered a few days ago, but the official responded again, saying that the country has not adjusted adult hypertension. Many people said they were confused and thought they were healthy, but one day they became a "hypertensive patient". They were sad. The official said that the standards had not been adjusted. Which one should I listen to?
Blood pressure exceeds it is considered high? Is it 140/90, or 130/80?
Let’s briefly review the whole story of this matter with you
On the 13th of this month, the "China Hypertension Clinical Practice Guidelines" was released. Everyone has noticed that the hypertension standard has changed, down to 130/80, so many netizens have also complained that they have become hypertensive patients after waking up.
But soon on the 15th, the National Health Commission responded: The country has not adjusted the diagnostic standards for adult hypertension.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Fortunately, I am still healthy now.
Then let’s discuss, what are the pros and cons of the national standards if they are really downgraded?
The advantageous side
High blood pressure Awareness rate will further increase . I believe that many people have been paying attention to this message in the past two days. Even young people who don’t usually see health news have noticed it, and are very worried that their blood pressure will be high.
Blood pressure is reduced healthier, and the symptoms of are gradually improved. If people can actively control their blood pressure, the cardiovascular risk will be further reduced, and the risk of other chronic diseases will also be reduced. People's life expectancy and quality of life will gradually increase .
has disadvantages
standard has been reduced, which means that the number of people exceeding the standard will be more , which may double, with hundreds of millions of patients, and there are only so many medical information, and the pressure will increase accordingly, and the pressure on pharmaceuticals and medication will also usher in an explosion.
Moreover, people will feel anxious because of diseases . It may be nothing for the elderly to have high blood pressure, and they have to take medicine. However, young people and young people suddenly change from "healthy people" to "patients", and their psychological changes are still relatively large. Now this society is under great pressure, and they have to worry about their own body and have more worries.
blood pressure standard was adjusted a long time ago. It was 160/90 more than 30 years ago, and later it was 140/90. The lowering of the standard follows the national conditions. Now, living and eating conditions are good, and there are many people with cardiovascular diseases and are harmful. must pay attention to the early prevention and treatment of , and research has also found that controlling blood pressure is of great benefit to the human body.
Even if there is no adjustment, everyone should realize one thing, that is, it is definitely safer to stay below 130/80 than above 140/90.
Another question, do you have to take medicine if you exceed 130/80?
Whether it is a foreign guide or a domestic guide, first of all, the recommended method of is life intervention , so you don’t have to worry about how high it is. As long as you understand that more than 130/80 are at risk for health, you should actively intervene.
Although you don’t need to take medicine, everyone must pay attention to the problem of increased blood pressure. Many friends do not realize its harm, think that youth is capital, and think that they don’t smoke or drink, but an accident will make them regret it for life.
So, The key is to change your lifestyle . Don’t wait until your body feels uncomfortable and can’t bear it anymore. The doctor said that you must take medicine to control it before you know the severity.
But there is another special situation, that is, the patient has other risk factors, such as obesity, congenital heart disease , etc., so the doctor needs to evaluate it. Is this situation beneficial to take medicine or not to take it for the time being.
These misunderstandings of hypertension, see if you have been "fooled"
You need to measure your blood pressure every day, it is safer to use more than one dose several times
Although it is more convenient to measure blood pressure at home, there is no need to measure it every day or frequently, because blood pressure is fluctuating. Unless you do dynamic monitoring, frequent doses are meaningless and will delay normal work and life. You will also feel troublesome. Once you forget the amount, you will be anxious.
When your blood pressure is unstable, the amount should be 2-3 times a day. When your blood pressure is stable, the amount should be taken every morning.
It’s okay for the elderly to have high blood pressure
There are also young elderly people and elderly people. The standards of the two are different. The former is no different from young people. It is better to control it below 140/90. For example, After the age of 80, it is acceptable to 150/100 or 160/100. But it doesn’t mean that it can be higher, as it is also dangerous if it is too high.
In addition, I would like to remind everyone that the blood pressure of elderly people should not be too low, because research has found that low pressure is more harmful to the elderly and will affect the heart's blood pumping, so the brain is prone to ischemia and hypoxia, which is very dangerous.
If the medicine is not effective, add dosage and change the medicine
After taking it for a few days or a week, there was no change in the body, and the blood pressure was still the same. Some patients say that this medicine does not work and need to change it. We are not comfortable with the magic medicine. Generally, the time for for one month or two months will slowly decrease, from stable and excessive high pressure to normal state, so that the patient will not feel uncomfortable.
dosage is also easy to see in life. If the patient is asked to take the medicine together, the patient will be very repulsive, but he will actively propose dosage.
If you have this idea, you should correct it as soon as possible, because the medicine itself has a risk of side effects. The larger the dose of , the higher the risk. Everyone should understand the principle of . Therefore, the amount you take should be based on the regulations. If the effect is not good, you can change it. You can add other medicines. For details, you need to consult a doctor.
I hope you will be less anxious after reading this article and have a certain understanding of the adjustment of blood pressure standards. In fact, no matter what the standard is, you must live a healthy life. If you can manage yourself well in daily life, you will not have these worries. For those who have been diagnosed, lowering the standards is just to make themselves more self-disciplined and there is nothing to worry about. In short, listen to the doctor's everything, don't guess randomly.
