Pathology of blood pressure - the most common disease among the Russians, evidenced by medical statistics. Statistics, unfortunately, very sad: the pressure drops provoke diseases of the cardiovascular system, ranks first among the causes of death. According to experts, all of us should be more attentive to him, because the blood pressure problems have ceased to be the lot of only pensioners.
Head heavy, pressing his temples, before the eyes of flies, incomprehensible weakness, drowsiness in the morning ... Familiar symptoms? Many of us complain about such ailments, often without thinking that their cause may be blood pressure problems .
What the "surprises" to expect from their Blood Pressure ?
1. I am not worried about my blood pressure . Many people believe once they do not feel the pressure fluctuations, and the worry completely about. But experts warn that hypertension ( high blood pressure ) Can occur without obvious symptoms, especially in the early stages. Condition of blood pressure is closely related to age, or more precisely - with hormonal stability organism. Men need to periodically measure pressure ranging from 25-30 years. Their vulnerability is caused by biological characteristics, and is compounded by numerous stresses. Women in this sense, are better protected due to estrogen. But with the onset of menopause, their "natural immunity" expires.
2. In fact, this is my "working pressure". "Worker" referred to the pressure at which a person feels himself satisfactorily. However, if the tonometer showing numbers in the range of 160/100 to 180/120, this means that " working pressure "Exceeds the norm (its characteristics: no more than 139/89 mm Hg or below 90/60 mm Hg.) The fact that a person with high blood pressure itself feels quite normal, indicating a good state of his internal organs and blood vessels. More precisely, the fact that these agencies do their job. But at high pressure vessels, heart, kidneys and other organs suffer the additional burden, and therefore wear faster. Catch myocardial miokrada or cerebral stroke in this case it can be much faster. If you exceed the standard norms of the pressure by 10 mmHg the risk of complications is increased by 30%.
3. "guilty" heredity. Well, in the families of hypertensive and hypotensive patients do often raising children, which subsequently begin to suffer from problems with blood pressure . But experts insist: hypertension and hypotension As such, are not inherited. It inherited predisposition to them.
For example, it is estimated that when the family of hypertension both parents are affected, the risk that their child will also be hypertensive, is about 57%. If you suffer from hypertension only a mother - the risk is 30%, and if only the father - 13%.
But it turns out that even with the genetic predisposition of the disease can be avoided if to nullify the remaining risk factors. These include smoking, alcohol, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, unhealthy diet, excessive salt stress.
4. Wrong medication . Antihypertensive drugs We should be selected strictly individually and administered gradually, especially if the person is suffering from heart failure. Some patients, for fear of addiction to drugs, it is believed that they should be changed more often. But to change the drug on their own, without medical evidence, you can not! The doctor should choose the drug and make the optimal dosage regimen. If it helps maintain blood pressure at the right level and does not give side effects, you should always stick to it.
5. My mother knows everything. Even if someone from the family - high blood pressure, "veteran", turn to him for medical advice, like playing roulette. The chances that its recommendations will be effective in your case - the same as the probability and mismatch. Antihypertensive drugs - set (six groups), and are all very different in their properties. "Its' a medicine should be selected depending on the dynamics of pressure variations, comorbidities, and general condition. Properly to do so can only specialist.
6. Why take pills every day - it's chemistry! Take the medicine only when Pressure jumps - It is like taking contraceptives on mood. What happens, for example, at a time when jumped up pressure But it was quickly reduced the pill? Dramatically changing the condition of vessels: they first stretched and then, under the influence of the drug, narrowed. If such changes occur frequently, the inner surface of blood vessels is injured. For lesions "stick" blood cells - shaped tube, a blood clot. As a result, blood circulation, and if the clot breaks off and clog some small, but very important vessel - there myocardial infarction . cerebral stroke .
Arterial hypertension - A chronic disease, so drug therapy must be constant. It allows you to achieve a stable level of blood pressure. For health is most important.
7. Men treatments for hypertension cause impotence . In fact, some drugs from the group of B-blockers do reduce libido and prolonged use affect the quality of orgasm - especially in men with a family history of hypertension. However, these drugs have no effect on erection. As for other drugs (ACE inhibitors, calcium channel blockers), their response is much more optimistic. These drugs improve potency and enhance libido. Doctors warn: ignore pressure problems men can not. Men who do not receive treatment, reproductive function declines even faster than in smokers.
8. Low blood pressure - it is not scary, hypertension worse . Gipotonik really much less likely to face the risk of cardiovascular complications, but deceit hypotension that over time it can be transformed into high blood pressure, and heavy, in which even a small increase in pressure is transferred very painful. In addition, hypotension often worsens the development of a number of diseases, such as anemia, neurosis , Vascular dystonia Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, liver, pancreas, endocrine system. Also, hypotension can cause disorders of potency in men. That is why the presence of this problem is very important to constantly monitor the pressure.
9. If hypotension always pulls on sweet . It's true. People with low blood pressure - is almost always a sweet tooth and Sony. The fact that the hypotension internal organs, including the brain, less blood supply. Exchange processes in hypotensive moderation, they often complain of decreased tone lethargy. The need for large volumes of sweet and Sleep is a physiological necessity for them. To feel relaxed, gipotonikam to sleep for 10-12 hours a day, and dessert for them is the best tonic.
10. In the reduced pressure can not be engaged in sports . Gipotonik try to avoid physical activity because it requires them to a very large impact forces. But experts insist that the people with low blood pressure, it, nevertheless, is needed. The main thing - to know how to distribute the load. Hypotensive is not recommended to make any sudden movements: the body must move smoothly from one state to another, and before exercise should always warm up. The same, incidentally, applies to the morning awakening: not worth waking up just to jump out of bed, better lie down and take some deep breaths and pull-ups.
