Master the scope of new blood pressure standards

At present, the World Health Organization has formulated a new type of blood pressure. The 2022 "New Blood pressure standard" was announced: between 130/85 mm Hg, no longer 120/80 mm Hg. This is based on clinical blood pressure, medium -aged, and various pancreatic secretion of islets, normal transportation levels of blood vessels, and metabolic status of various hormones.

The physical fitness of each age group is different, so the blood pressure standards are also different. The following figure is the blood pressure standard value between different gender in each age group. You can test it yourself to see if your blood pressure is within a reasonable range.

Regularly take antihypertensive drugs and blood pressure measurement

It is recommended that patients who have clearly diagnosed hypertension and long -term medication must adhere to taking antihypertensive drugs daily. Do not increase or decrease or stop suppressive drugs at will because of normal blood pressure. Settlement of antihypertensive drugs at will cause blood pressure to rise.

The level of blood pressure is not necessarily related to the severity of the symptoms. Some patients have some less typical symptoms in the early stage, such as head pain, paroxysmal dizziness, and chest tightness. Symptoms, the blood pressure is high, and they do not know. Some people have a significant increase in blood pressure, but because of the long period of illness, the patient has adapted to the high blood pressure level. At this time, the damage of target organs has occurred, that is, the diseases of the heart, the brain, the kidneys, and the bottom of the eye, so the hypertension is called the "silent killer".

Therefore, patients with hypertension should measure blood pressure on a regular basis and cannot "follow the feeling." Make blood pressure regularly after daily and before going to bed at night. When you feel uncomfortable symptoms such as panic and dizziness, you should monitor blood pressure at any time.

Precautions for measuring blood pressure

Rest 5 minutes before testing blood pressure to avoid drinking coffee and strong tea; empty the bladder, sit on the seat with a seat, and place your legs flat on the ground to avoid crossing; the upper arm, blood pressure meter, and heart at the same level; Measure twice, one minute at a time interval, take the average value of twice as the measurement reading. In a special period, especially when patients have anxiety, it is not recommended to increase the frequency of measurement. Too frequently testing blood pressure will further aggravate tension, and the blood pressure will be higher and higher.

Lifetime intervention is important

At any time, lifestyle intervention is the basis of antihypertensive treatment.

A good attitude and sufficient sleep are the cornerstone of blood pressure control. Try to avoid staying up late to brush the drama and play games, ensure regular sleep, go to bed early and stay up late, ensure the sleep time of 7 to 9 hours a day, and ensure that the body function is in the best state.

Reasonable aerobic exercise helps blood pressure recovery. Some regions may be limited due to the epidemic cause. It is recommended that you choose the appropriate exercise method according to your own conditions. For example, walk around at home after meals for more than half an hour, or stretch the joint at home to fight Taijiquan that is good for physical and mental health. Those who have conditions for outdoor sports can perform aerobic exercises such as fast walking and jogging. But no matter what kind of exercise, you must be suitable for you to avoid damage to bones, muscles, and tendons during exercise. If the blood pressure increases significantly, the exercise will not be performed for the time being. In addition, low salt, low -fat, balanced diet, quitting smoking limit alcohol.
