Is blood pressure higher in summer or winter? The weather has been too hot recently and I feel my blood pressure is high.

Normal people also have low blood pressure in summer. Generally speaking, in winter, blood pressure will rise by 5-10 mmHg. The results show that for every 1 degree Celsius drop in outdoor temperature, the human body's systolic blood pressure will increase by 0.19 mmHg, and diastolic blood pressure will increase by 0.12 mmHg.

2. What should patients with high blood pressure pay attention to in winter

1. Don’t rush for success

Blood pressure will be relatively higher in winter. This is not because of the lack of medicine. It works. Patients must not panic or rush for success. Only when blood pressure continues to rise above 20 mmHg does medication adjustment need to be made.

Develop a good blood pressure monitoring habit, such as once a week in the past, but in winter it may be required three days or once a day. If you find that your blood pressure is unstable, it is best to consult a cardiologist or hypertension specialist.

3. Pay attention to your diet

In winter, people like all kinds of hot pots, such as spicy hot pot, spicy hot pot, fried pork, etc. These foods are good for patients with hypertension. If there is too much salt, you should try to eat as little or as little as possible. If you feel that your daily diet is bland, it is recommended to add more vinegar, mustard, sesame oil, onion and other seasonings. MSG, soy sauce, hot sauce, etc. are not suitable for consumption.
