Hypertension is a chronic and non communicable disease characterized by systolic blood pressure ≥ 140mmHg and diastolic blood pressure ≥ 90mmHg. Patients often have no symptoms in the early stage, or only dizziness, headache, palpitation, tinnitus and other symptoms. On the surface, it is an independent disease. In fact, it is an important risk factor for heart, cerebrovascular and renal diseases. If it is not controlled properly, it will lead to diseases such as stroke, myocardial infarction and renal failure. In severe cases, it can cause sudden death. About 70% of stroke deaths and about 50% of myocardial infarction deaths in China are closely related to hypertension.
According to the data released by the national health and Family Planning Commission in 2016, the prevalence of hypertension in Chinese adults aged 18 and above is 25.2%, with 270 million patients, and 2 million deaths are related to hypertension every year. Chronic disease surveillance data showed that among adults with hypertension, more than 3/4 were young and middle-aged patients, and the incidence rate increased more rapidly than the elderly. In addition, the proportion of people with high normal blood pressure is increasing, which is an important source of the surge in the number of hypertension patients in China and the main reason for the rising prevalence.
Hypertension "targets" young people, which has a certain relationship with genetic factors, but the main reason lies in the unscientific and unhealthy life and eating habits of young people. Nowadays, many young people regard themselves as "food" and don't care about their weight; they pursue "heavy taste" in eating, and their sodium intake exceeds the standard; they like to eat fried food and fat meat, and eat more saturated fatty acids; they drink frequently and excessively; they smoke for a long time; they work and rest irregularly, and their spirit is constantly tense. These factors are the main cause of hypertension.
No symptoms are more terrible
Hypertension is actually a vital indicator, a vital sign data. Suffering from high blood pressure, many people will have symptoms, but some people do not feel, this kind of person is the most dangerous. If you feel high blood pressure and uncomfortable, it means that your body is protecting itself. If you don't feel it, you're likely to let high blood pressure damage your organs.
Two time makes dizzy, must be vigilant!
Dizziness is the most common symptom of high blood pressure, and in a day, dizziness caused by high blood pressure actually has concentrated time. Because there are two peaks of hypertension, which are 6-10 in the morning and 16-18 in the afternoon. In these two periods, the blood pressure will rise, so the risk of dizziness will increase greatly during this period. Patients with hypertension should pay special attention to these two periods.
Heart rate over 80, be careful!
In 2016, the consensus on the management of patients with hypertension and tachycardia published by the European Society of hypertension pointed out that heart rate should be used as an important indicator for the comprehensive evaluation of patients with hypertension. However, at present, few hypertensive patients in China pay attention to heart rate, and doctors and patients often ignore heart rate.
Heart rate is a predictor of sympathetic activation. Rising heart rate means over activation of sympathetic nerve, which can promote hypertension, atherosclerosis and heart failure. Therefore, rising heart rate is an independent predictor of cardiovascular events. General patients with hypertension, when their heart rate exceeds 80 beats per minute, need to carry out heart rate management. The patients with hypertension and coronary heart disease or heart failure whose heart rate is more than 70 beats per minute must be intervened.
Taking antihypertensive drugs will not cause dependence
Many patients with hypertension are afraid that taking antihypertensive drugs will form dependence, and later they can only rely on taking drugs to reduce blood pressure.
In fact, this kind of cognition is wrong. Different from drug addiction and dependence, antihypertensive drugs only help to effectively lower blood pressure. For example, the weather is very hot. When the air conditioner is turned on, the human body feels very comfortable. At night, when the temperature is not so high, the air conditioner can be turned off.
In the same way, if the blood pressure rises, you need to use antihypertensive drugs. After taking antihypertensive drugs, the blood pressure drops. After taking them for a period of time, if the blood pressure continues to maintain at a normal level, and after trying to stop antihypertensive drugs, the blood pressure can still maintain at a normal level, you can also stop taking antihypertensive drugs. However, if the blood pressure rises again after the withdrawal of antihypertensive drugs, it means that it can not be separated from the drugs, and it needs to take antihypertensive drugs for a long time to maintain the blood pressure in a normal state for a long time.
In case of chest pain, chest tightness, suffocation and other symptoms, people over 40 years old should take 4-6 Suxiao Jiuxin pills immediately before the onset of the disease, so as to timely and effectively prevent the onset of angina pectoris and reduce the risk of myocardial infarction.
Ginkgo biloba oral liquid can be used for daily prevention and treatment. Ginkgo biloba contains more than 200 kinds of medicinal ingredients, including 46 kinds of flavonoids, 25 kinds of trace elements and 8 kinds of amino acids. Among them, flavonoids are the main active ingredients, which can protect capillary permeability, dilate coronary artery, restore arterial elasticity, reduce serum cholesterol, increase coronary artery blood flow, improve cardiovascular and cerebrovascular circulation, relieve smooth muscle spasm, relax bronchi, inhibit bacteria, nourish brain cells and other organs, and make arteries, peripheral vessels and capillaries smooth Blood quality and cholesterol maintain normal levels.
Ginkgo biloba oral liquid has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, dredging channels and dredging collaterals. The main function of plant flavonoids in human body is to enhance vascular tension, expand coronary artery, soften blood vessels, improve vascular permeability, reduce blood pressure, blood lipid and cholesterol, anti platelet aggregation, reduce thrombosis, so as to achieve the effect of reducing blood pressure, blood lipid and blood viscosity, and has good effect on blood circulation Blood stasis caused by chest pain, stroke, palpitation, etc. have good curative effect.
