What should hypertensive patients pay attention to in spring?

The climate change in spring is the most impermanent of the four seasons, and the weather is hot and cold, which is most likely to cause sudden contraction of blood vessels. Patients with hypertension are equally dangerous in spring. For hypertensive people with poor adaptability, we should pay special attention to climate change, do all-round prevention and stay away from sudden attacks of cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, in spring, patients with hypertension should pay special attention to the following points:

1, pay attention to nourishing the liver in spring

Hypertensive patients will inevitably have different degrees of liver damage due to long-term medication, so hypertensive patients should eat more fresh fruits and vegetables to achieve a nutritional balance; Because the air quality in many areas is not very good and the smog is serious, patients with hypertension must be well protected when going out to avoid respiratory diseases; The diet is mainly light, choose melons and vegetables to ensure body moisture; Wash water with moderate water temperature to avoid strong tea; Keep relaxed, avoid long-term mental stress and reduce thinking.

Step 2 strengthen exercise

The outdoor temperature rises in spring, which is suitable for strengthening outdoor physical exercise. Patients with hypertension can go for a walk outdoors, breathe fresh air, speed up body metabolism and enhance body immunity.

3. Prevention of "Spring Cold" in Spring

At the end of February and the beginning of March, the temperature usually rises rapidly, but suddenly drops around April, and the temperature difference can be as high as 10 degrees; Elderly patients with hypertension and patients with poor adjustment ability should be covered moderately in spring. The principle is "grab both ends and take the middle": wear a hat to protect the brain, a vest and loose shoes and socks to protect the feet;

4, light diet

As the saying goes, when people are sleepy in autumn, they are easy to get tired in spring. Many people are listless and prone to respiratory diseases, gastrointestinal discomfort and skin diseases. Therefore, they should eat more light food, eat more fruits and vegetables and drink more water to clear their stomachs, and eat less fried food and salty and spicy food.

5. Insist on taking antihypertensive drugs

Patients with hypertension must insist on taking antihypertensive drugs and cannot stop taking them casually. Keep taking medicine even if you don't feel sick. Otherwise, it is very dangerous. Stop taking drugs at will and wait for blood pressure to rise, which is easy to cause blood pressure rebound. In the process of rebound, some organs of the body will be hurt unconsciously. It is suggested that when the blood pressure drops to the normal range, the dosage can be reduced appropriately, but the drug can not be stopped casually.
