Among the exercise modes that patients with hypertension can choose, jogging, brisk walking, aerobics, swimming, cycling, mountain climbing and stairs are recommended. The exercise frequency is generally 3-5 times a week, and each time lasts about 40 minutes. The specific amount and frequency of exercise are mainly measured according to one's tolerance. It should be noted that exercise should not be too intense, so as not to cause a sharp rise in blood pressure. The intensity of exercise is maintained at a level where you can basically breathe and speak normally. I can do moderate-intensity exercise, feel my heart beat faster, sweat slightly and feel a little tired. If you have joint diseases or injuries, you can consult a specialist for proper exercise.
Rest for about 10 minutes after exercise, the increase of respiratory frequency caused by exercise should be obviously relieved, and the heart rate should return to normal or close to normal, otherwise the exercise intensity should be considered too high. If you feel dizzy, headache, nausea and other discomfort during exercise, it is recommended to stop exercising immediately, measure your blood pressure and go to the hospital for treatment if necessary.
