How to prevent and care for patients with hypertension?
The prevention and health care of patients with hypertension should start from bit by bit in daily life.

(1) After waking up in the morning, slowly turn from horizontal to vertical. You can do relaxing morning exercises, but don't increase your physical burden immediately after getting up, especially don't run.

(2) When you are on an empty stomach in the morning, you must drink something thin, such as herbal tea and fruit juice.

(3) It is best to lie down or sit during the day, and take a few breaks with your legs slightly raised, each lasting about 10 minutes. Lying flat on the floor or hardwood floor is very beneficial. For people who need to sit for a long time at work, they should get up and exercise a little several times a day for 3-5 minutes each time.

(4) Don't walk around the room when you are nervous. It's best to lie down for a while or simply lift your legs a little and sit for 15 minutes.

(5) Eating standing and walking are all bad habits, which will add extra burden to the cardiovascular system. You should always sit and eat, and you must lie down or sit and rest for 20 to 30 minutes after dinner. After that, don't engage in intense activities immediately.

(6) Don't take medicine casually, especially during the day. When blood pressure rises, sometimes it is much better to lie down or sit and raise your legs slightly than to take antihypertensive drugs. Of course, it depends.

(7) Try to observe the daily routine system: sleep no less than 7 ~ 8 hours; Don't use any form to replace the absolutely necessary bed rest for others; At the same time, rest must be proportional to the workload.

(8) After the night shift, it is essential to lie still and rest.

(9) People with normal or high blood pressure (especially those who sleep less at night) should raise the bed in their legs slightly by 7 ~ 10 cm when sleeping. Because this can make the legs and lower limbs slightly higher than the horizontal line of the heart, it is helpful to fall asleep quickly and improve the quality of sleep. At first, you may feel blood flowing to your head, but you will soon get used to it. In order to alleviate this feeling, you can also use a higher pillow. But people whose blood pressure is lower than 100/60mm Hg should not do this.

(10) With the younger and younger patients with hypertension, children are required to observe the schedule. Children, especially young children, should sleep (lie down) for not less than 8-9 hours a day and night, and be ready to fall asleep at about 8: 30 in the evening. A nap of one and a half to two hours can protect their cardiovascular system from excessive stress.
