What should hypertensive patients pay attention to in summer?

Summer is the high incidence stage of various diseases, and the weather is hot. Many friends will lose their appetite, can't eat normally, and prefer to drink cold water to cool down. In fact, many details have exposed the sub-health state of the body, so you can't let go of these details when you maintain your body ~

1, pay attention to hydration.

In summer, people sweat a lot and their blood is easy to concentrate. People are prone to thrombosis when their blood flow is slow during sleep or quiet. Therefore, patients with hypertension should first pay attention to replenish enough water in summer, even if they don't feel too hot, they should always replenish water, especially if they sweat a lot. Patients without diabetes can increase the intake of fresh fruits. People with diabetes should give priority to green tea or cold water. Wake up in the middle of the night, add some water and reduce blood viscosity, which is of great benefit to prevent thrombosis.

2, the diet should be scientific

Patients with hypertension should control their salt intake and eat more fresh vegetables, fruits and bean products rich in calcium and potassium. Control the fat in the diet, increase animal foods rich in protein and low in fat, such as poultry and fish, and drink some milk and tea every day. It is necessary to limit drinking, especially liquor. 3. Adjust antihypertensive drugs. In hot summer, due to the high temperature, people's peripheral blood vessels dilate and their blood pressure is lower than usual. The dosage of drugs should be reduced appropriately, and long-acting sustained-release antihypertensive drugs should be selected as far as possible. Secondly, summer is hot, sweat pores are open and sweat more, and electrolytes are easily lost. At this time, it is easy to appear hypokalemia when diuretics are used to reduce blood pressure. Therefore, patients with hypertension should adjust the dosage of antihypertensive drugs in summer to avoid hypotension and induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. If it is not necessary, the use of diuretics and some compounds containing diuretics should be reduced.

4. Ensure sleep.

Studies have proved that patients with hypertension should keep the law of blood pressure day and night. The hot and humid climate in summer is easy to make people's sleep quality decline, and at this time, the blood pressure of hypertensive patients may increase at night, which will aggravate the damage of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, patients must do a good job in heatstroke prevention and cooling to ensure normal sleep; Keep calm and emotionally stable. At the same time, physiological antihypertensive drugs with long-term effect and little effect on normal blood pressure can be selected in summer to ensure normal blood pressure at night and protect the health of heart, brain and kidney.

5, always pay attention to the temperature changes.

Temperature changes will have an impact on blood pressure, especially when air conditioning is used in summer. It should be noted that the temperature of indoor air conditioner should not be set too low, otherwise the vascular regulation function of hypertensive patients will be disordered, leading to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents.
