It is very hot in summer. What problems should hypertensive patients pay attention to in order to keep their blood pressure stable?

We all know that hypertension patients are most afraid of rising blood pressure, so we should take antihypertensive drugs for a long time to control blood pressure. But in summer, many hypertensive patients will find that their blood pressure suddenly becomes normal, thinking that their condition has recovered, so they stop taking drugs without authorization. In fact, it is very dangerous to do so.

The reason why blood pressure is "normal" in summer is mainly related to temperature. We all know that in hot summer, our blood vessels will be relatively relaxed, the blood flow will be smoother, and the pressure on the blood vessel wall will be relatively small, so the blood pressure will be low. In autumn and winter, blood vessels will contract relatively and blood pressure will naturally rise.

For hypertensive patients, although the blood pressure has decreased in summer, the risk of myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction may occur due to high temperature, fast heartbeat and excessive sweating in summer, so hypertensive patients should pay more attention in summer.

1, adjust antihypertensive drugs.

In summer, the blood pressure of hypertensive patients generally drops, but don't stop taking drugs blindly to avoid other dangerous complications. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination, reduce the dosage appropriately according to the doctor's advice, or adjust the medication.

2. The temperature of air-conditioned room should not be too low.

Whether at home or at work, it is suggested that the indoor temperature of air conditioner should not be set too low, and the temperature difference from outdoor should not be too large, because it is easy to cause blood pressure fluctuation and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

3, light diet, timely replenishment of water.

In summer, the human digestive system is weak, and the diet is light and easy to digest, while greasy food is not easy to digest. Eat less and eat more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins and trace elements. In addition, the weather is hot in summer and there is much water loss, which is easy to cause thrombosis. Therefore, water should be replenished every day, and the amount of drinking water per day is about 2000ml.
