What is the answer? After knowing some basic knowledge about hypertension, you will naturally know the answer, and you will know why this result occurs.
What is normal blood pressure?
Therefore, it is the goal to control blood pressure below 120/80mmHg as much as possible. As for how low it is, it is not normal. Unless there is life-threatening shock, people's blood pressure is usually at least 90/60mmHg. As long as there is no dizziness, fatigue and other discomfort, there is no need to worry.
What happens when blood pressure rises?
Most people have no symptoms in the early stage of hypertension, and they won't know unless their blood pressure is measured. But after discovering high blood pressure, in turn, you will find that there have been some manifestations that you didn't notice before, such as:
The heart rate increased by more than 80 beats per minute. Many people will say that the textbook says that the heart rate is normal as long as it is 60- 100 beats/minute. You know, this is only the average range of all people, and the baby's heart rate will be 120- 140 beats/minute, which is also included. Therefore, it is appropriate for adults not to exceed 80 times/minute. When the heart rate exceeds this, pay attention to whether the blood pressure rises, especially the diastolic pressure rises first. This is because the acceleration of heart rate is mostly related to the excitement of sympathetic nerve, and the blood vessels will expand accordingly, showing normal systolic blood pressure and increased diastolic blood pressure, which is often a precursor to hypertension, as is the case in many initial hypertension.
Overweight or even obesity is one of the main causes of hypertension. Hypertension can be simply understood as the oppression of blood vessels by body fat accumulation, which increases the resistance of blood flow. In fact, obesity will make the whole body metabolic disorder and cause a series of complex changes in the body, including the mechanism of blood pressure regulation, which will not only lead to changes in blood pressure, but also cause many problems such as hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia.
Disorder of work and rest, especially staying up late for a long time, disturbs the normal physiological rhythm of the body. Blood pressure itself has a changing law of high during the day and low at night. Not going to bed on time makes the body excited at night, and the blood pressure will be maintained at a high level, thus raising the baseline level of blood pressure throughout the day and raising blood pressure during the day.
What should I do if my blood pressure rises?
The biggest harm of hypertension lies in the damage to blood vessels, which leads to the pathological changes of many organs in the whole body. The occurrence of hypertension has a gradual process. When hypertension occurs, the actual hypertension has existed for some time. Therefore, when hypertension is found, a comprehensive examination should be conducted to determine whether the relevant organs are diseased. The items that need to be checked frequently mainly include: routine hematuria, liver and kidney function, blood lipid, electrocardiogram, chest X-ray, carotid color ultrasound and so on. And it is best to do so.
If there is no organ disease after the examination, you can take lifestyle intervention such as light diet, more exercise, regular life, and quitting smoking and drinking for 3-6 months, and most of your blood pressure will be effectively controlled. Among them, 5%- 10% weight loss can be used as a standard to test the intervention effect and the goal to be achieved.
If organ diseases have appeared after the examination, it is very important to control blood pressure as soon as possible, and it is necessary to start antihypertensive drugs immediately on the basis of life intervention. We should know that taking antihypertensive drugs in time is not only to control blood pressure, but also to prevent the progress of organ diseases.
After knowing this knowledge, let's take a look at the friend at the beginning of the article: high diastolic blood pressure, fast heart rate and overweight exist in the early stage of hypertension. His blood pressure reached the ideal level within three months, which was the result of his effective intervention measures. Changes in heart rate and weight can best explain the problem, indicating that his blood pressure has been effectively controlled and reached an ideal state. The most important thing is to continue to maintain good living habits.
So, if you or people around you have a similar situation, do you know what to do?
