Autumn has come, and it gets colder in the morning and evening, and the temperature difference becomes larger. Remember to take more blood pressure and don't let it sneak up on you.

Several such patients have come to the clinic these days. Blood pressure was normal for a while, but it was higher than normal in autumn and higher in winter.

Is this hypertension? Do you want to control it?

The answer is yes. If blood pressure is measured correctly for many times in autumn and winter, and the blood pressure is higher than 140/90mmHg, then hypertension is really considered.

There are many friends with high blood pressure. Blood pressure is stable in summer, but higher than normal in autumn and winter. Do you need to add antihypertensive drugs?

The answer is also yes.

Why is this happening? How to deal with it?

Simply put, in autumn and winter, when the weather turns cold or cold, the human body must improve its metabolic level to meet the needs of various organs in order to resist the cold. Therefore, when it is cold, the adrenal gland secretes adrenaline and norepinephrine, which will raise blood pressure. Acting on the cardiac Bette receptor accelerates the heart rate, enhances the myocardial contractility, and at the same time constricts the systemic circulation arteries, which is the reason for the increase of blood pressure.

In summer, the weather is hot, the heat dissipation of human body increases, and most of the blood vessels on the body are in a relatively relaxed state. At the same time, sweating is more, and the blood volume may decrease, so the blood pressure may be normal or relatively low.

1, it's getting cold, so we have to measure the total blood pressure, otherwise we won't know even if the blood pressure fluctuates. Find the problem to solve, don't be kept in the dark by blood pressure. This is also an important reason for the high incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in autumn and winter.

2, the weather turns cold, blood vessels contract, blood pressure is higher than usual, some sensitive patients need to add some drugs, or replace antihypertensive drugs.

3. If it is only higher than usual 10-20mmHg, you can add the amount of antihypertensive drugs you usually take, but you should pay attention to monitoring.

If it is much higher than usual, you must go to the hospital to prevent serious consequences caused by high blood pressure.

In short, the seasons alternate and the temperature changes greatly, so we must manage our blood pressure. You must know your blood pressure first! Then you'd better take more blood pressure when changing seasons.

If in summer, the temperature rises and blood pressure is gradually low, you can try antihypertensive drugs.

1, after the diagnosis of hypertension, if the blood pressure control is not ideal, secondary hypertension must be excluded.

2, blood pressure adjustment must take antihypertensive drugs under the guidance of a regular doctor.

3. Learn to use electronic sphygmomanometer to measure blood pressure correctly and monitor it for a long time. After the blood pressure is stable, you can measure it a few times less, and the blood pressure is unstable, especially in the season.

4, low sodium and high potassium diet, salt reduction, including pickles, tofu milk and so on. Eating more fresh vegetables and fruits, rich in potassium, calcium and vitamins, is beneficial to softening blood vessels and controlling blood pressure.

5. Insist on exercise and weight control: Many hypertensive patients return to normal by insisting on exercise and weight control, but they must exercise scientifically and lose weight scientifically.

7, quit smoking, limit alcohol, some people say that drinking blood pressure, it is indeed possible to lower blood pressure at that time, but then blood pressure will rebound even higher. Others say that blood pressure is higher after quitting smoking, and withdrawal reaction is not ruled out, but overall smoking and drinking will definitely increase blood pressure.
