What should hypertensive patients pay attention to in summer?

Summer is a period of high incidence of various diseases. When the weather is hot, many friends will lose their appetite greatly, so they can't eat normally. They prefer to drink cold water to cool down. In fact, many details reveal the sub-health state of the body. You can't let go of these details when maintaining the body ~

1. Pay attention to replenishing water.

In summer, people sweat a lot, and blood is easy to concentrate. When people sleep or are quiet, blood flow is slow, so it is easy to form blood clots. Therefore, patients with hypertension should first pay attention to supplementing enough water in summer, even if they feel not too hot, they should always replenish water, especially if they sweat a lot, and patients without diabetes can increase the intake of fresh fruits. People with diabetes should give priority to green tea or cold water. When you wake up in the middle of the night, add some water to reduce the blood consistency, which is of great benefit to prevent thrombosis.

2. Eat scientifically

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 the animal food 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 white wine. 3. Adjust antihypertensive drugs. In the hot summer, due to the high temperature, people's peripheral blood vessels dilate, and their blood pressure is lower than usual. The dosage of medicine should be reduced appropriately, and long-acting and slow-release antihypertensive drugs should be selected as far as possible. Secondly, summer is hot, sweat pores are open and sweat more, and electrolytes are easy to be lost. At this time, using diuretics to reduce blood pressure is prone to hypokalemia. Therefore, patients with hypertension should adjust the dosage of antihypertensive drugs in summer to avoid low blood pressure and induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. If it is not necessary, the application 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, hypertensive patients may have elevated blood pressure 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 your mind calm and emotional stability. 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 change.

The change of temperature will have an impact on blood pressure, especially in the case of using air conditioners in summer. It should be noted that the temperature of indoor air conditioners should not be set too low, otherwise the vascular regulation function of patients with hypertension will be disordered, leading to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents.
