In recent years, my grandmother's health has been getting worse and worse, so in order to take care of her, our family moved to the community where my grandmother lived.
Because the geographical location of this community is good, it is very suitable for the elderly to live, so most of the residents in the community are the same age of grandma. As time went by, everyone's relationship got better and better.
On this day, several neighbors gathered together for dinner, including the elderly and their children, a large table of people, so lively. But just as I was pouring wine for everyone, a friend who is a doctor said, "If anyone here has high blood pressure, you can't drink alcohol, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." ”
After listening to his words, several of them consciously put down their wine glasses? So do people with high blood pressure really have to drink without a drop of alcohol?
1. Understand high blood pressure
High blood pressure is what we often call a symptom of elevated blood pressure. It refers to the phenomenon that the pressure on the walls of blood vessels as our blood flows through the body is consistently higher than normal.
There are two main causes of hypertension. One is familial genetic factors, and the other is mainly influenced by environmental factors.
Because each person's constitution is different, the symptoms of high blood pressure are also different. Some people may have a series of complications without warning. For example, blurred vision, stroke, or loss of consciousness.
In addition, common symptoms of hypertension mainly include arrhythmias, palpitations, tinnitus or headaches. If the above symptoms persist, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a relatively comprehensive examination.
In recent years, the number of patients with hypertension in mainland China has been on the rise. According to the statistics of relevant departments, the prevalence of hypertension in adults in mainland China has reached 27.9%.
In other words, one in three people has high blood pressure. And because of the lifestyle and rhythm of life, hypertension has shown a trend of younger people.
Nowadays, there are two main ways to treat high blood pressure. One is that mild hypertension can be treated by changing lifestyle and dietary patterns. For patients with more severe hypertension, they need to be treated by taking medicine for a long time.
2. The effect of alcohol on hypertension
Now that we know the causes and treatment of high blood pressure, we should understand that alcohol has a serious effect on high blood pressure.
As we all know, the liver is our important metabolic organ. For those patients with high blood pressure who need to be treated with medication, if they drink alcohol regularly, it will lead to an increase in the metabolic burden on the liver and weaken the effect of the drug.
There have been such examples. A hypertensive patient who drank heavily alcohol caused a rapid increase in blood pressure for a short period of time. In order to control his blood pressure, he chose to take blood pressure medication.
However, under the influence of alcohol, the blood pressure medication could not achieve the effect before drinking, resulting in his blood pressure not coming down, almost life-threatening.
The doctor friend also told us that patients with high blood pressure should not drink alcohol because the patient's drinking will cause the blood flow rate in the body to increase and the impact force will increase.
The consequence of this is that the patient's vascular endothelial cells are damaged, which affects the intake of blood lipids, which leads to atherosclerosis.
In addition, patients with high blood pressure are prone to many sudden diseases after drinking a lot of alcohol. For example, heart disease, cerebral hemorrhage, etc.
Because alcohol is a spicy and pungent drink. After drinking alcohol, it is easy for blood vessels to dilate rapidly, causing blood vessels to rupture, which leads to cerebral hemorrhage. You must know that such diseases are life-threatening.
In short, drinking alcohol in patients with high blood pressure is harmful to the body, and if it is not restrained, it will not only aggravate the condition, but also endanger life in serious cases.
It is precisely because of the serious impact of alcohol on high blood pressure that doctors and friends will remind everyone that people with high blood pressure should never drink alcohol during dinner.
Of course, in addition to not drinking alcohol, people with high blood pressure need to pay attention to many things. For example, the following are also things that people with high blood pressure should keep in mind.
3. To control high blood pressure, keep these points in mind
Nowadays, there are more and more patients with hypertension in the mainland, in addition to the influence of some genetic factors, the most important thing is that it is affected by bad lifestyle and dietary habits. Therefore, if you want to control the root cause of the increase in blood pressure, in addition to medication, you should also start by changing your habits.
1. Refuse foods with heavy oil and salt
To control your blood pressure, you need to make changes in your diet. Try to be nutritionally balanced and eat plenty of vegetables and fruits. Eat less foods heavy on oil and salt, and less fatty meat.
This is because studies have shown that obese people have a higher chance of developing high blood pressure. Foods heavy in oil and salt will lead to the accumulation of fat in the body, increase cholesterol, affect the body's metabolic function, and thus cause obesity.
So if you like these kinds of foods, even if you don't have high blood pressure, you should control them. Patients with high blood pressure should consciously stay away from them to avoid further aggravation of the disease and affect our physical health.
2. Don't drink coffee or strong tea
We all know that after drinking coffee or strong tea, people will be mentally excited and have difficulty falling asleep.
This is because these two types of drinks contain a lot of caffeine, and people will excite the central system after drinking, resulting in spleen and stomach disharmony, restlessness and other conditions.
This is true for ordinary people, let alone patients with high blood pressure. They tend to cause blood pressure to rise in a short period of time after drinking, which affects the recovery of the disease. Therefore, in addition to not drinking alcohol, patients with high blood pressure should also try not to drink strong tea and coffee.
3. Control your emotions
In fact, the occurrence and recovery of many diseases have a lot to do with our emotions, and the same is true for patients with high blood pressure. If the patient is in a state of tension, anxiety, depression, anger or panic for a long time, their blood pressure will continue to rise.
The relevant departments have done an experiment on the effect of emotions on high blood pressure. The results of the experiment showed that people who were in a state of mental stress for a long time had a 1.5 times higher risk of developing hypertension than the general population, which is enough to see the importance of emotional stability for hypertension.
Therefore, for patients with high blood pressure, they should keep their emotions stable at all times and not have too many fluctuations. If you are an impatient person or a person who is easily affected by emotions, you should strive to be strong and be the master of your emotions, not his slave.
4. Exercise regularly
In fact, proper exercise has played a positive role in the prevention and recovery of many diseases. One of the main factors for the development of hypertension is obesity, which is directly related to not liking exercise, in addition to poor diet.
Therefore, for patients with high blood pressure, regular exercise is very necessary to help control the condition and help lower blood pressure.
However, one thing you need to pay attention to is that if you don't exercise regularly, then you should focus on taking it easy when choosing exercise.
For example, patients can choose to walk slowly, dance or exercise such as tai chi, which can strengthen the body without being too tired. Wait until your body is getting used to it, and it's not too late to increase the difficulty appropriately.
5. Regular physical examination
Many patients with high blood pressure are already more serious after they are discovered, because most of the early hypertension has no obvious symptoms.
Even if there is, it is very common, such as headaches, tiredness, chest tightness, etc. Because of this, high blood pressure is also known as the "invisible killer".
Therefore, in order to keep abreast of our physical condition, we should develop the habit of regular physical examinations, preferably every six months or a year. Especially if you have a family history, you should pay special attention.
However, high blood pressure is also a disease that can be prevented and controlled. We need to understand that the normal value of blood pressure is generally 130~139/85~89mmHg. You can buy a small blood pressure meter so that you can check your blood pressure from time to time.
This is especially true for those who are obese, have an unhealthy diet, or regularly drink alcohol. For patients who have been diagnosed with hypertension, they should be followed up and measured regularly, and the measurement should be done in the morning as much as possible, so that they will be more prepared.
In addition, patients also actively cooperate with treatment, and more serious patients are best to use drug therapy and lifestyle intervention at the same time, so as to effectively control the disease, slow down the damage rate of target organs, prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications, and effectively reduce the mortality rate.
In conclusion, hypertension should not be ignored and should be treated aggressively, whether it is mild or severe. In addition, patients with hypertension also need to pay attention to not lowering blood pressure too fast at the same time, so as to avoid cerebral hypoperfusion, which will cause cerebral infarction.
Epilogue:
In short, there is a scientific basis for the doctor's statement that patients with high blood pressure should not drink a sip of wine. Drinking alcohol will not only aggravate the condition of patients with high blood pressure, but also reduce the body's metabolic ability, resulting in a reduction in the effectiveness of the drug, and in severe cases, it will be life-threatening.
The most important thing is that after drinking alcohol, patients with high blood pressure will cause the blood flow rate in the body to increase, resulting in damage to vascular endothelial cells, which will lead to a variety of diseases.
So for people with high blood pressure, it's best not to drink alcohol and quit it completely. In addition, in order to control the disease, drink less strong tea and coffee, exercise regularly, control weight, and eat less foods heavy on oil and salt. At the same time, we must also learn to control our emotions and not let our minds be in a state of long-term tension.
In addition, patients with high blood pressure should also actively cooperate with the treatment, in addition to taking antihypertensive drugs, but also make lifestyle changes. If there is a family history of genetic diseases, it is necessary to go to the hospital frequently for physical examinations, early detection and early treatment, to avoid aggravation of the disease.
