2. Lie down or sit with your legs slightly lifted for several times during the day, each time 15 to 20 minutes. Lying flat on the floor or hardwood floor is very beneficial. For people who need to sit for a long time at work, stand up from the table several times a day for 3 to 5 minutes each time.
Don't walk around the room when you are nervous. It's best to lie down for a while or simply sit with your legs slightly raised 15 to 20 minutes.
4. Anyone with normal or high blood pressure (especially those who sleep less at night) should raise the bed in the leg slightly by 7 to 10 cm during sleep. This helps you fall asleep quickly and sleep soundly. There may be a feeling of blood flowing to your head at first, but this feeling will soon disappear. To alleviate this feeling, you can use a higher pillow. It is important to make the legs and lower limbs slightly higher than the horizontal line of the heart. However, people with blood pressure below 100/60 should not do this.
5. Relaxed and healthy morning exercises are always beneficial, but don't increase your physical burden immediately after getting up, especially don't run.
6. When you are on an empty stomach in the morning, you must drink something light, such as a cup of herbal tea and fruit juice.
7. Patients with hypertension should sleep (lie down) day and night for no less than 8-9 hours. They should get ready for bed from 8: 00 to 8: 30 in the evening. A nap of one and a half to two hours can protect their cardiovascular system from excessive stress.
8. Don't eat standing up. Eating standing up and eating while walking will add extra burden to the cardiovascular system. Always sit and eat, and be sure to lie down or sit for 20-30 minutes in the afternoon. After that, don't engage in intense activities immediately.
9. Don't abuse drugs, especially during the day. If your blood pressure rises, lying down or sitting with your legs slightly raised is much better than taking "antihypertensive drugs".
