These are the first time I've ever seen a woman with high blood pressure in her life.
The following are the precautions for hypertension in the elderly:
(1), the diet should be reasonable. Elderly hypertensive patients diet should pay attention to the principle of low salt, low fat, high protein. Salt intake should be no more than 10 grams per day, preferably less than 5 grams. Limit the intake of animal fat and cholesterol, mainly consume vegetable oil, which is not only conducive to the prevention of atherosclerosis, but also facilitate the control of blood pressure. Intake of appropriate amount of protein, in addition to the protein provided by cereals, should be given milk, lean meat, fish and other foods. At the same time, eat more potassium-rich foods, such as vegetables and fruits, in order to replenish vitamins and regulate the electrolyte balance in the body, and to ensure smooth bowel movements. A certain amount of potassium and calcium intake can reduce the sensitivity of the cardiovascular system of the elderly to sodium, thus reducing blood pressure.
(2), exercise in moderation, sleep should be sufficient. Elderly hypertensive patients should do sometimes, appropriate activities, work and rest, sleep enough. A regular scientific lifestyle can maintain stable blood pressure; overwork can raise blood pressure and aggravate the condition. Elderly people should ensure 8~9 hours of adequate sleep every day.
(3), clothing to wear loose. Elderly patients with hypertension should not be too tight, soft and loose for good. It is best to wear cotton clothing, breathable, both easy, and warm. Trouser belt and tie should not be tied too tightly, so as not to cause blood pressure fluctuations.
(4), the spirit should be happy, emotional stability. Unhealthy emotions can make the heart beat faster and blood pressure rise, so elderly patients with hypertension should keep a calm mind and avoid emotional excitement and too much tension.
(5), adhere to the medication, do not stop taking medication. Drug treatment is the main treatment means of hypertension in the elderly. Elderly hypertensive patients should insist on taking antihypertensive drugs according to the doctor's instructions, so that the blood pressure is gradually controlled within the normal range. In the process of applying antihypertensive drugs, elderly patients should try to move as slowly as possible when sitting up and standing up.
(6), pay attention to upright hypotension. Elderly people are prone to upright hypotension. Therefore, when an elderly patient changes from a prone to an upright position during antihypertensive therapy and experiences dizziness, it suggests the possibility of upright hypotension, which should be highly emphasized.
