Intensive Care Specialist: Hypertension is one of the fatal causes of COVID-19! Teach you four steps to manage your blood pressure.
The epidemic in COVID-19 continued to spread. After more and more patients appeared, experts also observed some "high-risk groups". Du Bin, director of the intensive care unit of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, mentioned in a telephone interview that in June 5438, there were10 70 first death cases in Wuhan, and nearly half of them suffered from hypertension.

"This is a very high proportion. Du Bin is one of the most respected intensive care experts in China. He said, "According to the opinions of other doctors and what I have seen, hypertension is a key risk factor. Although it has not been confirmed by research, we believe that hypertension may be an important factor leading to the deterioration of patients' condition and poor prognosis. 」

Even though the increase rate of newly diagnosed patients in China has been greatly reduced, there are still10.5 million people in hospital, and 6% patients are getting worse, and the speed is very fast. "The elderly and hypertensive patients are the focus of our work. Du Bin said.

There are 3 million hypertensive patients in Taiwan Province Province, which may be potential high-risk patients! Although there seem to be few cases of hypertension in Taiwan Province Province, according to statistics, there are about 3 million people suffering from hypertension in Taiwan Province Province, and 1/3 of them don't know, just like 1 10,000 people don't know that they have an ticking time bomb.

Wang Zongdao, chairman of the Hypertension Society, also said in an interview with the media, "I didn't say that the older I get, the higher my blood pressure will be. No matter how old you are, the standard is 120/80mmHg. Although the general definition of hypertension is 140/90mmHg, if it exceeds 120/80mmHg, it is a standard that needs attention, because "you will have high blood pressure after a while. 」

And manage your blood pressure, Wang Zongdao thinks there are several steps to do:

First, if possible, fix your blood pressure every day.

Our blood pressure changes all the time. The blood pressure of healthy people will change within one day 15-30mmHG, and the fluctuation of patients with hypertension will be greater. Blood pressure changes with people's mental state, time, season and body temperature. So take your blood pressure every day to see if it is normal.

Second, exercise more. Exercise helps to lower blood pressure.

However, moderate exercise can restart the metabolism of blood vessels and get rid of old cells, but it can make blood pressure control smoother.

But to achieve this goal of exercising the heart and lungs, it is necessary to keep breathing smoothly, let the body supply oxygen smoothly, let the heart contract endlessly and increase blood supply; So it's best to start with aerobic exercise.

Third, eat less salt and more potassium.

The most worrying thing for patients with hypertension is to control the intake of sodium ions and avoid blood pressure from getting out of control. In fact, sodium ions interact with potassium ions. As long as potassium ions are ingested more, sodium ions will naturally be metabolized by the body. Therefore, it is easier to control sodium ion by reducing sodium ion intake.

Carbohydrate: taro, potato, sweet potato, yam, pumpkin. Vegetables: tomato, Flammulina velutipes, spinach, water spinach, kelp, laver, amaranth, sweet potato leaves, green beans. Fruits: bananas, kiwis, peaches, cantaloupes, Sakyamuni and durian. Fourth, keep a happy mood.

In the process of measuring blood pressure, even listening to others can raise blood pressure 10mmHG, so emotions have a great influence on our blood pressure; Only by maintaining a happy mood can we determine the correctness of blood pressure.
