Summer blood pressure decreased, indicating that hypertension has gradually cured?

Rumors: After the summer, some patients with hypertension accidentally found that their blood pressure decreased, and even reached normal levels, indicating that hypertension was "cured".

Truth: The weather is hot in summer, the human blood vessels are expanding, and the peripheral vascular resistance decreases, which has led to a decline in blood pressure.

In addition, in high temperature environments, the human body sweats more, the amount of drinking water is relatively reduced, the blood capacity decreases, and the output volume of the heart decreases, which will easily lead to a decrease in blood pressure. Therefore, the blood pressure of many patients with hypertension in summer seems to reach normal levels, not because high blood pressure is really "cured."

It should be noted that the "normal" blood pressure in summer does not mean that the medicine can be stopped. Blood pressure measurement is usually carried out during the day, and the weather in summer is hot, and many people's sleep quality decreases at night, which will affect the adjustment of the nerve endocrine system, increase the blood pressure at night, cause the blood pressure of the day and night Essence

Therefore, judging the blood pressure situation cannot be determined by the results of the day, and the blood pressure monitoring and other necessary examinations need to be performed for 24 hours. Patients with hypertension need to regulate the medication under the guidance of a doctor, reduce the amount as appropriate, and do not stop the antihypertensive drug without authorization.
