The consequences of high blood pressure and cerebral vascular complications for patients are huge. Therefore, preventing high blood pressure and complications is very important. Accordingly, patients need to pay attention to the following points to have a suitable health care plan:
Control blood pressure
Patients should proactively take measures to control blood pressure such as changing eating habits, increasing exercise, and reducing stress. Control your blood pressure to achieve your target blood pressure (under 140/90mmHg). Use blood pressure medicine as directed by your doctor, do not arbitrarily increase or decrease the dose.
Be careful and see a doctor when there are signs such as headaches, dizziness (feeling of spinning), forgetfulness, emotional disorder (arrested anger...), psychological disorder, flies flying (seeing black spots).
Check your health regularly
People with high blood pressure should have regular health check-ups, including checking blood pressure, blood lipids, blood sugar and other indicators, as well as image checks such as electrocardiography and ultrasound, to promptly detect and handle potential health problems.
Quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption
The ingredients in cigarettes and alcohol both increase the risk of cerebral infarction in patients with high blood pressure. Therefore, patients should quit smoking and limit alcohol to reduce the risk of cerebral aneurysm complications.
Reasonable diet
People with high blood pressure should increase the intake of vitamins and minerals in vegetables, fruits, whole grains and protein-rich foods. Limit eating too much fat, salt, sugar, and eat less foods with high cholesterol.
Exercise properly
Exercising is one of the ways to improve health, help people with high blood pressure control their weight, and improve cardiopulmonary function. However, patients should have an exercise regimen suitable for their health under the guidance of a doctor.
Maintaining mental health
Mental health is a top priority factor and is closely related to physical health. Therefore, patients with high blood pressure should pay attention to reducing stress, keeping a relaxed spirit, relaxing the mind and maintaining an optimistic attitude.
In addition, to prevent cerebral aneurysms in people with high blood pressure, when the weather changes suddenly, during the changing seasons, patients, especially the elderly, should not urinate outdoors in the cold at night, to prevent complications. At the same time, when you are working hard or walking in the sun, you should not shower immediately, avoid sudden temperature changes and should not get up from bed immediately when you first wake up.
