We all know that there are two values of blood pressure, the high one is called systolic blood pressure (high pressure), in general, the systolic blood pressure should be less than 140mmHg, and the low one is called diastolic blood pressure (low pressure), in general, the diastolic blood pressure should be less than 90mmHg. #High Blood Pressure#
A lot of people only see the high pressure, and not much attention to the low pressure.
So, many people only know that if it's a high pressure that's high.
Generally speaking, with age, blood vessels will gradually age and harden, the elasticity of blood vessels gradually decline, the heart systole when the heart to the blood vessels outside the blood due to the expansion of the blood vessels is not good, will cause high pressure, and to the heart diastole, the heart stops to the blood vessels outside the blood vessels, due to the elasticity of the blood vessels poor blood vessels can not be retracted in a timely manner, will cause the low pressure is lowered, so a lot of older people will be The first step in the process is to make sure that the blood pressure is not too high and that the blood pressure is not too low, so many older people will have a higher high pressure, a normal low pressure, or a lower low pressure, which is called simple systolic hypertension.
Simple systolic hypertension is a condition in which the blood vessels are more elastic and the blood pressure is lower than the normal blood pressure, so many older people have high blood pressure, normal low blood pressure, or lower low blood pressure.
Many young people have heavy tastes, the first is the intake of more salt, the second is sweets, greasy food intake is more, coupled with the lack of exercise, resulting in more viscous blood, blood volume is relatively large, the resistance of blood flow is relatively high, so it will be manifested in the low-pressure elevation.
The second reason, mental stress.
Nowadays, young people have more mental stress, whether it is study or life, the pressure is particularly high, and long-term mental stress will lead to sympathetic nervous system excitation, we all know that sympathetic nervous system excitation will cause the heart rate to increase, vascular constriction, and finally manifested in the elevation of blood pressure.
The third reason is the disruption of hormone levels in the body.
Our body has a system to regulate water and electrolyte balance, which is called the "renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system", when the secretion level of this system increases, the level of renal drainage, sodium discharge will be reduced, the blood vessels will be constricted, resulting in increased blood pressure!
Elevated low pressure alone is also high blood pressure, and this condition also requires treatment.
The first is dietary regulation: taste should be light, to reduce the intake of salt, eat less sweets, eat less greasy food, eat more vegetables, fruits, and coarse grains.
The second is to strengthen the exercise: consume fat, reduce weight.
The third is medication: The following three antihypertensive drugs are the most effective in treating hypertension, which is mainly characterized by low-pressure elevation.
The Prilosec and sartans both work on the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, which can dilate blood vessels, reduce water and sodium retention, and research has proved that these two antihypertensive drugs also have the function of protecting the heart and kidneys. But then, this Prilosec and sartans only one of them can be used, it is not recommended to combine the two.
For hypertensive patients with high stress and fast heart rate, you can choose Lorazepam to inhibit sympathetic excitation, which can slow down the heart rate and lower the blood pressure.
For hypertensive patients who eat more salt, we can choose diuretics, by increasing the excretion of water and sodium to achieve the purpose of reducing blood pressure. However, we generally do not use diuretics alone, because the use of diuretics alone is prone to cause water and electrolyte disorders, so we tend to be and Prilosec or sartans together with the joint use of the use of the process is also the need for regular review of electrolytes.
