Why does blood pressure decrease in summer?

Human blood pressure will fluctuate a certain regular. Human blood pressure changes with the four seasons, usually manifested as high blood pressure in winter and low in summer.

Summer temperature is high, human vascular dilation, and peripheral vascular resistance decreased, which leads to a decrease in blood pressure. In addition, the human body sweats more in high temperature environments, which can easily lead to decreased blood capacity, decreased heart output, and cause blood pressure to decrease.

In summer, patients with hypertension patients have a large blood pressure volatility. Unless there are symptomatic hypotension, they should avoid reducing or discontinuation of antihypertensive drugs. Unnecessary drug discontinuations will lead to increased blood pressure and increase blood pressure fluctuations. Vascular incident risk. Because of this, summer is often a season when hypertension or high incidence of complications.

"Even if the patient's blood pressure looks normal in the summer, it is not equal to the hypertension 'cure', and the medicine should not be stopped without authorization."

Wang Yupeng, deputy chief physician of the Third Hospital of Peking University, said that the time to measure blood pressure is usually during the day, and many people in summer have a decline in sleep quality, which will affect the adjustment of the nerve endocrine system and increase the blood pressure at night to increase the blood pressure at night. As a result, the blood pressure changes in the summer and day and night increased, and the risk of myocardial ischemia and stroke increased.

"At present, the hypertension control rate of patients in my country is generally low. Patients with poor compliance and discontinuation of drugs by themselves are one of the important reasons." The doctor prompts that the hypertension itself is not terrible. It is terrible because the blood pressure is not timely and effective. Cause many target organs such as the heart, brain, kidney, and bottom of the eyes, or even life -threatening.
