When the winter solstice arrives, is blood pressure unstable? Reminder: don't want blood pressure soaring, do these three things well in winter!

The arrival of the winter solstice means that the cold days will begin.

When the weather is cold, it is also a period of high incidence of cardiovascular disease, especially high blood pressure, which suddenly becomes "dishonest". If it is not controlled and adjusted, it will affect the health of patients.

Why is blood pressure restless when the temperature is low?

Because of the sudden drop of temperature in winter, the change of hormone level and the difference of indoor and outdoor temperature, it is easy to cause the fluctuation of blood pressure.

For the elderly, fluctuating blood pressure can accelerate the formation and development of atherosclerosis, which can lead to angina or cerebrovascular problems.

The occurrence and aggravation of hypertension are directly related to the daily living habits and dietary patterns of patients.

In winter, if you want to let high blood pressure go through the dangerous period smoothly, you must not ignore these three things.

First thing: keep warm

In order to avoid the aggravation of patients with hypertension in winter, the first thing to do is to take measures to keep warm, especially for older patients, it is safer to stay at home when the weather is cold.

Of course, when you have to go out, in addition to wearing more thick clothes to resist the cold, you also need to wear gloves and hats, all aspects of armed, so as to avoid the invasion of cold.

Especially in winter to develop the habit of wearing a hat, reduce heat loss, can reduce all kinds of discomfort caused by cerebral vasoconstriction.

Whether it is from the outside into the indoor, or indoor out of the outdoor, it is recommended to have a buffer before going out to reduce some cold stimulation.

Second thing: light diet

The aspect of eating is lighter, which is most conducive to the recovery of the patient's body. If you eat too greasy or eat high-calorie food, it will aggravate glomerular arteriosclerosis and increase the burden on the body.

In addition, salt is also one of the key factors causing blood pressure fluctuations. Therefore, we need to continue to pay attention to limiting salt in diet, ensure the daily intake of no more than 6 grams of salt, and reduce the intake of "heavy taste" in diet, such as monosodium glutamate, soy sauce, etc.

Third thing: take medicine on time

In addition to diet, people with hypertension should take medicine according to doctor's advice.

But some people feel that their condition has improved, usually forget to take medicine or simply do not take, which will lead to fluctuations in patients' blood pressure, which can not play a good antihypertensive effect.

Generally speaking, if the blood pressure rises and fluctuates slightly (the fluctuation of blood pressure does not exceed 20 mmHg and there is no discomfort such as dizziness and headache), there is no need to change the medicine.

But if it exceeds this range, or if there are symptoms of discomfort, you need to find a specialist to adjust the drug treatment plan.

Antihypertensive drugs are not the more expensive the better, on the contrary, appropriate is the key

Some friends think that winter is the high incidence of hypertension, so in order to get better control, you need to use some "good" drugs.

There are also some friends that winter with some expensive antihypertensive drugs, summer blood pressure fluctuations are not big, you can exchange for cheaper antihypertensive drugs.

But in fact, most of the expensive antihypertensive drugs are controlled-release preparations or sustained-release preparations, which are slow but lasting for a long time, so they can keep the blood pressure stable for a long time.

But if it is winter, most of the patients' blood pressure will cause large fluctuations in a short time. If the medication is to be adjusted, short acting preparations should be used on the basis of the previous, which does not affect the blood pressure at night.

If you choose those "expensive drugs" by yourself, it will be even more unfavorable to the control of blood pressure.

If you want to control high blood pressure, you must remember the above three things. You should drink more water on weekdays. After all, water is the source of life. If the body is always short of water, it is not conducive to blood dilution.

At the same time, keep exercising, because studies have shown that people who lack exercise and are sedentary are more likely to suffer from hypertension, diabetes and other diseases than people who like sports.

Generally speaking, when the temperature drops rapidly in autumn and winter, the blood vessels will become vulnerable to cold stimulation. When the blood vessels contract, it is easy to raise the blood pressure. If we don't pay attention to some details at this time, it will make the situation worse.
