According to statistics, the number of patients with hypertension in our country now reaches 27%, which is a large number.

Hypertension itself is not terrible. The biggest harm is the complications of hypertension, which can affect the heart, kidneys, brain, eyes and peripheral arteries, leading to corresponding diseases, such as coronary heart disease, heart failure, kidney disease, etc. Failure, cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, blindness, ischemic necrosis of lower limb arteries, etc.

Once complications occur, they are often irreversible, and every complication is not minor. At this time, in addition to antihypertensive drugs, you also need to take a lot of drugs to protect the corresponding organs, which not only increases the financial burden, but also affects the quality of life and life span. A large number of drugs can only delay the progression of the disease.

The reason why high blood pressure causes complications is largely because high blood pressure is not detected in time. Some people only know they have high blood pressure when they go to the hospital for examination because of heart failure or kidney failure; Some people know they have high blood pressure, but they don't feel any discomfort, so they don't take it seriously, so they don't get timely treatment; others know they have high blood pressure and take antihypertensive drugs, but they don't get it down to the target value. In this way, prolonged high blood pressure will damage organs and blood vessels.

Therefore, for the treatment of hypertension, early detection, early treatment, and early achievement of standards can avoid the occurrence of the above complications, and the prognosis will be much better.

Dr. Xu recommends that everyone pay attention to measuring blood pressure to detect it in time; if the blood pressure is 140/90, you must seek the advice of a professional doctor; patients taking antihypertensive drugs should also measure their blood pressure and control it to the standard. If your blood pressure is poorly controlled or fluctuates, contact your doctor promptly to adjust your treatment plan. So many people suffer from "hypertension". What is the greatest harm of high blood pressure?

It is said that there are nearly 300 million hypertensive patients in the country. It is not an exaggeration to say that there are patients. This is a chronic disease, a very serious chronic disease. Some people think that there are so many patients anyway, what should I be afraid of? The advantages are "law" The biggest harm is complications, the most fatal of which are renal failure and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

There are many patients with hypertension, which is related to factors such as dietary habits and structure, living habits, climate, etc. For example, there are more patients in the Northeast than in the South. This is because the Northeast is cold, the temperature changes greatly, and the frequency of vasoconstriction is high. The greater the intensity, the greater the damage to blood vessels. People in the Northeast eat a lot of greasy food. For example, their favorite food is pork stewed with vermicelli, which has a lot of salt, while in the south they eat mainly light food with less salt. Due to the cold weather, people in the Northeast are less active and receive less sunlight. These are all causes of high blood pressure. In addition, if life is difficult, economic conditions are poor, and emotions are unstable, it will also lead to high blood pressure.

Most patients with high blood pressure now take medicine. The medicine can dilate blood vessels, but it can damage blood vessels, be diuretic and reduce water content. However, lack of water in the human body is not good for health, slowing down the heart power and reducing blood supply. Yes, but it will make people uncomfortable. In short, these drugs treat the symptoms but not the root cause and have side effects.

By adjusting diet, exercising to lower fat, regulating emotions, regulating the liver, cleaning blood vessel waste, supplementing with vitamins, calcium and magnesium tablets, etc., the blood is purified, the blood vessel walls are clean, and the blood vessels are elastic.

How many patients with hypertension are there in our country? I'm afraid only God knows the exact number. But judging from the survey data, it is already terrifying. my country's hypertension survey data shows that the prevalence of hypertension among adults in my country from 2012 to 2015 was 27.9%. Taking China’s population of 1.2 billion into account, the number of people with hypertension is over 300 million. The heart, brain, and kidneys are the three parts of the human body most vulnerable to damage from high blood pressure

The heart, brain, and kidneys, these three main organs of the human body, are indeed the target organs of high blood pressure. High blood pressure is like Bow and arrow, and the heart, brain and kidneys are the targets.

1. The harm of high blood pressure to the heart

2. The harm of high blood pressure to the brain

3. The harm of high blood pressure to the kidneys High blood pressure affects the heart and brain The number one risk factor for vascular disease, and stroke is the most harmful.

1. High blood pressure is inseparable from the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

2. Stroke is a type of high blood pressure. The most important harm

3. The lack of folic acid may be the reason for the large number of strokes in my country. Summary:

Hypertension is very harmful, and its onset is relatively hidden. Especially for the elderly or young people whose parents have high blood pressure, they should monitor their blood pressure more often. Once an increase is found, proactive measures should be taken in time to minimize the harm.

Do you know how many people have high blood pressure?

300 million!

This data seems to be huge, and we have no idea; simply put, one in every four adults has high blood pressure; almost every family has a patient with high blood pressure.

Why do we work so hard to popularize high blood pressure? There is only one reason why high blood pressure is really scary. Some people must say that the people with high blood pressure around him are not that scary. In fact, when we look at one thing, we need to look at big data and take a long-term view.

High blood pressure itself is not scary, but the complications of high blood pressure are scary.

Let me first talk about one of my patients, Sister Xiao, who is the owner of a butcher shop. Eight years ago, she was slowly hospitalized due to acute myocardial infarction. I rescued her and the stent was used to open the blood vessel; Returning to the ward for a color ultrasound, it was discovered that hypertensive heart disease, that is, long-term high blood pressure, not only caused myocardial infarction, but also led to heart enlargement. In addition to the myocardial infarction, the old lady developed heart failure. Although the stent was done and the blood vessels were opened, he still developed chronic heart failure. Later, I was hospitalized repeatedly, once every 3-5 months.

We have become familiar with each other for a long time, so I asked Sister Xiao: You are so fat and your mother has high blood pressure. I guess your blood pressure is also low.

Sister Xiao said: 180/110, I don’t feel much.

I said: Didn’t your mother feel nothing before? Now I have a heart attack and heart failure. Take your medicine quickly!

Sister Xiao: Let’s wait until my mother feels better.

Just don't listen to my advice.

One weekend four years ago, Sister Xiao’s husband suddenly called me and said: Sister Xiao can no longer speak and cannot move the left side of her body.

I said: Dial 120 immediately.

Later, I went to the hospital and was diagnosed with acute cerebral infarction. That year, Sister Xiao was only 36 years old; half a year later, Sister Xiao’s mother died of heart failure. , was 61 years old.

This is not over yet. Later, Sister Xiao’s brother also suffered from chest tightness and suffocation. He came to see a doctor. After a checkup, he also had heart failure, heart failure caused by high blood pressure, and an enlarged heart.

This is a family, and almost all of them are persecuted by hypertension!

Do you still dare to say that high blood pressure is not scary? Some people say that this family has bad genes, so let us show you the big data:

Studies have found that high blood pressure is clearly related to the risk of stroke, coronary heart disease, and cardiovascular disease death. For every 20mmHg increase in high pressure or 10mmHg increase in low pressure, the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases doubles.

Elevated blood pressure increases the risk of stroke by 53%;

Elevated blood pressure increases the risk of fatal myocardial infarction by 31%.

Studies have shown that 70% of heart failure is caused by high blood pressure. Once heart failure develops, the five-year mortality rate is the same as that of lung cancer! High blood pressure leads to atrial fibrillation, which in turn leads to cerebral infarction. Clinically, 20% of cerebral infarctions are caused by atrial fibrillation.

The higher the blood pressure level, the incidence of end-stage renal disease also increases significantly. In severe hypertension, the incidence of end-stage renal disease is more than 11 times that of people with normal blood pressure.

These big data tell us that long-term uncontrolled high blood pressure can lead to cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, myocardial infarction, heart failure, renal failure and other malignant diseases, which can cause disability and death!

Therefore, the biggest harm of high blood pressure is not the dizziness, headache, nausea and vomiting caused by high blood pressure; it is that high blood pressure is not detected or not controlled.

The direct result is that one day, something big will happen to the heart, brain, kidneys, great blood vessels, etc., something fatal that will cause disability!

Someone asked: "Dr. Zhang, what is the biggest harm of high blood pressure?"

Every time I encounter this kind of question, I will say: "The biggest harm of high blood pressure is the brain." Stroke! ”

When it comes to stroke, we generally understand it as cerebral infarction, hemiplegia, hemiplegia, etc. In fact, this understanding is not accurate. Simply put, stroke is divided into two types: cerebral hemorrhage and cerebral infarction. Yes, cerebral hemorrhage is also considered a stroke. Stroke does not only refer to cerebral infarction. Now Dr. Zhang will tell you how high blood pressure causes cerebral hemorrhage and ischemic stroke in the brain. 1. High blood pressure leads to cerebral hemorrhage

If long-term high blood pressure is not controlled, the small arteries and blood vessels of various organs throughout the body can gradually become hardened, and the smooth muscles of the small arteries will then degenerate and the arterial walls will become thinner. It can bulge under the influence of high blood pressure and form microaneurysms. If blood pressure fluctuations occur after microaneurysm formation, cerebral hemorrhage may occur.

2. High blood pressure can lead to cerebral infarction

If high blood pressure is not controlled for a long time, atherosclerosis will occur in the cerebral arteries. Over time, atherosclerosis will continue to develop, eventually leading to obvious When the arterial plaque becomes unstable, thrombosis is likely to occur due to lumen stenosis and occlusion, causing local ischemia and hypoxia, eventually leading to cerebral infarction.

More and more studies show that high blood pressure is an independent risk factor for stroke. That is to say, the higher the blood pressure, the more likely it is to have a stroke. What Dr. Zhang would like to point out in particular here is that compared with Europeans and Americans, we East Asians (Chinese, Japanese and Korean) are more likely to suffer from stroke.

Having said that, we have to talk about treatment. In view of the current situation that high blood pressure can lead to stroke, the first step in treatment is to lower the blood pressure. This is the most important. Secondly, in the selection of antihypertensive drugs, dipine antihypertensive drugs, sartan antihypertensive drugs and pilin antihypertensive drugs are recommended with greater priority. Of course, different treatment options are suitable for different patients with high blood pressure. For specific treatment suggestions, follow the advice of professional doctors.

According to the latest data released by the "Report on Nutrition and Chronic Disease Status of Chinese Residents (2020)", the prevalence of hypertension among adults aged 18 and above in my country is as high as 27.5%, and the total number is as high as about 300 million. This shows that the pressure to prevent and control hypertension in my country is not optimistic.

What are the dangers of high blood pressure? What is the greatest harm? What are the dangers of high blood pressure?

Hypertension is one of the most common diseases in my country and is known as the "invisible killer" of human health. Essential hypertension is a chronic disease that requires continuous or even lifelong treatment. A "protracted war". Patients with hypertension are often accompanied by a variety of complications, and cerebral hemorrhage is one of the major complications that currently threatens human life.

Hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage has the characteristics of sudden onset, rapid progression, dangerous condition, multiple complications and extremely high mortality rate, which seriously threatens people’s life safety, so I tend to regard hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage as a sign of hypertension. maximum harm.

In addition to being complicated by cerebral hemorrhage, what are the dangers of high blood pressure?

Hypertension is a typical chronic disease and common disease. Patients generally cannot be anxious, angry, excited, or nervous. This is because blood pressure can rise anytime and anywhere due to changes in emotions or even the environment, which has a negative impact on the human body. The harm of high blood pressure is multifaceted, mainly manifested in the following aspects:

1. The harm of high blood pressure to the kidneys:

Many patients with renal failure and urinary virus disease are caused by Caused by high blood pressure, high blood pressure affects kidney function and is permeable. High blood pressure can cause renal arteriosclerosis, which can be manifested as increased nocturia. When renal insufficiency gradually develops, body edema may occur. Finally, Kidney dialysis or renal conversion surgery is necessary to maintain life.

Kidney insufficiency caused by high blood pressure causes irreversible damage to the body.

2. The harm of high blood pressure to cerebrovascular:

The most significant clinical symptoms of the harm of high blood pressure to cerebrovascular are headache and dizziness. If the patient has a headache when basking in the sun, , headaches occur after strenuous activities. This is because high blood pressure causes cerebrovascular disease. Most cerebral hemorrhages are caused by high blood pressure combined with stiffening of small arteries and cerebral hemorrhage damages the central nervous system. Even if treated in time, some people will still suffer from cerebral hemorrhage. Complications that lead to physical dysfunction are inevitable due to physical dysfunction, such as impairment of limb movement, limited language function, changes in walking posture, convulsions, etc. In severe cases, the patient may become disabled and unable to take care of himself.

Moreover, there is currently no specific drug for the treatment of cerebral hemorrhage caused by high blood pressure. If not treated in time, it will be life-threatening.

3. The harm of high blood pressure to the heart:

The harm of high blood pressure to the heart is manifested in damage to the coronary arteries of the heart, causing angina pectoris.

In addition, it can also cause ventricular hypertrophy, leading to heart failure, sudden death, etc.

How to treat high blood pressure? Treatment of high blood pressure

Simply put, if you want to relieve the symptoms of high blood pressure, you can start from the following aspects.

Symptoms of low-grade hypertension can be relieved by lifestyle changes, such as increasing exercise and exercise.

In addition, it is necessary to use the auxiliary effect of drugs for treatment.

Drug treatment is mainly to prevent and prevent other complications.

People with high blood pressure need to use medications rationally under the advice of doctors, and supplemented by a healthy lifestyle, in order to achieve better intervention against high blood pressure.

Currently, commonly used drugs to combat hypertension include calcium antagonists, diuretics, beta-blockers, and low-dose fixed compound preparations.

Finally, some effective suggestions for patients with hypertension:

People with hypertension should enhance their immunity, especially for middle-aged and elderly people, through moderate exercise, such as brisk walking and taking a nap. Tai Chi, Qigong and other methods can be used to enhance physical functions. Of course, exercise should be combined with your own situation to avoid excessive exercise.

People with high blood pressure should ensure that they get adequate rest and sleep, and must not stay up late.

People with high blood pressure should also pay attention to keeping warm and cold to avoid other complications such as colds from aggravating the patient's condition.

People with high blood pressure should adhere to a low-fat, low-calorie, high-vitamin diet, stay away from tobacco and alcohol, and pay attention to balanced nutrition.

The staple food should be mainly whole grains, or add appropriate amounts of whole grains to white rice.

Beans are also a good food for high blood pressure. They are rich in essential amino acids such as lysine, a component of traditional Chinese medicine. Soy products are a common food in our lives. They are cooked in various ways and are not easy to eat. greasy.

Finally, for patients with hypertension, it is important to maintain an optimistic attitude. Many diseases are caused by mood swings.

In summary, high blood pressure poses a great threat to human health. To deal with high blood pressure, we must adhere to the principle of “three points of treatment and seven points of care”.

I hope the above answers will be helpful to the subject’s understanding of the treatment and care of hypertension. Follow me, use a rigorous attitude to popularize science and health; use love to spread happiness.

The danger is that it is easy to cause cerebral infarction and then fall and hit the head, resulting in 23 hours a day

It’s hard to move even an inch in bed. Difficulties are everywhere in life! The same goes for having a meal!

The real dangers of high blood pressure lie in these:

On the one hand, high blood pressure can cause damage to the heart and blood vessels, and high blood pressure can mainly damage the heart. of the coronary arteries, leading to the gradual development of atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries and even inducing coronary heart disease.

On the other hand, high blood pressure can also cause damage to the heart itself. When arterial pressure continues to increase, the burden on the heart will inevitably increase. In the long run, compensatory left ventricular hypertrophy will inevitably form, leading to ventricular hypertrophy. Hypertrophy, cardiac dilation; the persistence of high blood pressure can lead to serious problems such as heart rhythm disorders, heart failure, and sudden cardiac death.

When the body suffers from high blood pressure, the body is prone to symptoms of dizziness and headache, and there is a "persistent dull and uncomfortable feeling" in the brain. Frequent dizziness will undoubtedly affect the body's normal thinking and normal work. state, leading to problems such as inattention and memory loss.

As the duration of hypertension increases, it is easy to induce cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction and other problems. Once cerebral hemorrhage is induced, it can easily lead to problems such as hemiplegia, aphasia, disability, and even death.

There is no doubt that there is a strong connection between high blood pressure and kidney failure. High blood pressure will cause damage to the kidneys invisibly, and this is a relatively long process. It starts with increased nocturia and is likely to lead to renal arteriosclerosis in the later stage. Once "renal insufficiency" occurs in the later stage, it is easy to induce uremia. disease, causing irreversible damage to the kidneys.

In addition to these effects on the organs and body, once patients suffer from high blood pressure, they have to take medication for life. This process itself is a "torturous process" and it will undoubtedly affect everyone's normal health. life and mental state. You need to understand that these living habits can easily induce high blood pressure:

Eating high-salt meals for a long time will increase the risk of high blood pressure. Nearly 60% of patients with high blood pressure in our country have "salt-sensitive hypertension" ", please pay attention.

There is a positive correlation between the frequency and amount of drinking and the level of high blood pressure; alcohol is a carcinogen, and its intake can damage almost all parts of the body, including blood vessels.

There have been relevant experimental studies before. For every 10 kilogram increase in weight, blood pressure will increase by 5-20 mmHg.

Being fat causes “thousands of worries”, and high blood pressure is also a problem that cannot be underestimated.

Long-term excessive mental stress, irregular work and rest, and staying up late for a long time will lead to sympathetic nerve excitement, which may induce high blood pressure. This paragraph will help you prevent high blood pressure:

Get rid of bad habits and prevent high blood pressure; balance your diet with more vegetarian and less meat and less processed foods to make your meals more colorful; Ensure an appropriate amount of exercise every day. Eating and moving is healthy. Stay away from obesity. High blood pressure will naturally take a detour. 30 minutes of exercise time is the basic requirement. It is a good habit to go to bed early and get up early. Babies who do not stay up late are the happiest. Adjust your own work and rest; maintain a good attitude and refuse to be overly nervous. Happiness and health can be adjusted by yourself. Don't delay when you are sick, take medicine according to the doctor's instructions, and don't cause trouble to your body; Eat less salt, eat less salt, really You need to eat less salt.

Nowadays, more and more people are suffering from hypertension, which is mainly related to excessive stress, poor living habits and poor eating habits. As the number of obese people increases, this is also an important reason for the increase in patients with hypertension. factors. In fact, the symptoms of high blood pressure are not obvious. Many people even have hypertensive crisis without symptoms. The impact on daily life is not great from the disease itself. However, its potential dangers cannot be ignored.

Long-term high blood pressure will increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, especially since it is twin brothers with diabetes. People with high blood pressure are prone to diabetes. In addition, high blood pressure has many complications, and they are all More troublesome diseases, such as cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, stroke, kidney disease, heart disease, eye disease, etc. These diseases are all diseases that seriously affect the ability to take care of oneself in normal life.

Therefore, if you find that your blood pressure is elevated and does not reach: high pressure > 140mmHg, low pressure > 90mmHg, you must adjust it as soon as possible. The high blood pressure can be reversed before hypertension is diagnosed. If you have been diagnosed with high blood pressure, don’t panic. Strict control of blood pressure can delay the arrival of these complications. Then you should make adjustments in all aspects:

1. Control total energy intake and maintain a healthy and reasonable diet. weight.

2. Give up high-salt meals, including high-salt foods such as smoked and pickled foods.

3. Avoid high-fat foods, such as fried, deep-fried, and takeaway foods.

4. Eat meat in moderation, but it is best to choose lean meat instead of fatty meat, about 1 tael a day is enough.

5. Eat more fresh vegetables, no less than 500g per day.

6. Eat more soy products, 100g per day, drink soy milk and eat bean dregs.

7. Drink more water, 1500-1700ml per day.

8. Exercise more, but not excessively, for 1 hour a day. If you just start exercising, you should do it step by step, starting with half an hour a day.

9. Stay away from tobacco and alcohol.

10. Maintain a happy mood.

First of all, the prevalence and incidence of hypertension increase with age. The elderly have a higher proportion of hypertension, and it is generally simple hypertension. With the aging of the population, the prevalence of hypertension is increasing year by year.

In addition, there are also regional differences in the prevalence of hypertension. It is more common in the north than in the south, more along the coast than in the interior, more in cities than in rural areas, and in plateau minority areas the prevalence is higher.

The prevalence of hypertension is significantly positively correlated with sodium intake and significantly negatively correlated with potassium intake. High-protein diets are blood pressure-boosting factors, and saturated fatty acids (animal fat components) in the diet ) is a factor that increases blood pressure, and the amount of alcohol consumed is linearly related to blood pressure levels. People with abdominal obesity (central obesity) are more likely to develop high blood pressure.

As modernization deepens into people's lives, long-term mental stress, emotional stress, and noisy environment can increase blood pressure levels.

Hypertension is closely related to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Young patients are prone to aortic sclerosis. Long-term hypertension can cause left ventricular hypertrophy and enlargement. The inner diameter of small arteries throughout the body will shrink and narrow, and tissue ischemia will occur in some sensitive organs such as the heart, brain, and kidneys. Long-term hypertension, combined with high blood lipids, can promote the formation and development of atherosclerosis.
