Hot, "knock down" high blood pressure patients

China's sustained high temperature of the south-east, the hot climate so that a large number of elderly people have fallen ill. Xiangya Hospital emergency department, according to incomplete statistics, the recent treatment of elderly patients increased significantly in elderly patients, especially hypertension, heart patients account for the majority of them, some relapse, some due to the improper use of air conditioners or lead to lung infection Cold. The patient's family have asked the doctor: suffering from high blood pressure, heart of how Enron summer. I put forward the following proposals.
First, more than adequate drinking water. With the rise of temperature, increased sweating human body, the blood lead concentration, increased blood viscosity, the body of blood flow down so that the organization was the body of oxygen and nutrients decreased. Touhunnaozhang for the performance of some patients, numbness in the limbs, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and this is an important organ, such as cardio-cerebral ischemia, hypoxia symptoms. Water can be added in a timely manner due to water loss by sweat, and blood can be diluted to reduce the viscosity, reduce the load on the heart, but also to prevent the formation of cerebral thrombosis. Therefore, every day consciously cultivate tea drinking habits, especially with some of the more drink honeysuckle, chrysanthemum tea of the bubble, not only thirst-quenching heat, disease-resistant and anti-inflammatory effect.
Second, appropriate adjustments to the drug. During the hot summer months, due to temperature, the body peripheral vascular expansion, lower blood pressure than usual, the dose of medication to the general decline in long-term multi-selection, sustained-release blood pressure medicine. Second, more sweat in the summer, the loss of electrolytes, so the use of diuretics blood pressure, high-risk hypokalemia, it is best to avoid the use of these drugs. Also due to the hot climate, the elderly are often poor quality sleep, leading to nighttime blood pressure, increase cardiovascular burden. Most of the patients with sudden onset, often late at night. Therefore, attention should be paid to improve the quality of sleep and, if necessary, add some of the services Sleep Aid drug.
Third, science and the use of air-conditioning, pay attention to not do any work. In the hot summer, should avoid outdoor activities until noon, or heat stroke is not only easy but also easily induced cardio-cerebral vascular diseases. Should choose to exercise outdoors in the morning, and should not do strenuous exercise. With the conditions for the improvement of domestic air conditioners are also popular, but to be scientific and rational use of air conditioning, general indoor and outdoor temperature difference of not too much to 8 ℃ for the best. At the same time, special attention should avoid hot from the outside world came back on air conditioners at the cold wind blowing directly for a long time. This most likely make the regulation of human vascular dysfunction, which led to cardio-cerebral vascular diseases were an accident.
