TCM nursing knowledge for patients with hypertension

　　High blood pressure is one of the common diseases of modern people, which is very harmful to the human brain and cardiovascular system. Therefore, in life, when high blood pressure occurs, you must treat it in time, and under the guidance of treatment, take active care. Only in this way can you protect your body. How much do you know about traditional Chinese medicine care for hypertension? In order to attract everyone's attention, let me introduce it in detail below.

　　Medical experts have said that suffering from high blood pressure means taking medication for life. Patients must insist on taking medication and cannot sweeten the medication on their own to prevent blood pressure from rebounding. After the patient takes the medicine for a period of time and his blood pressure drops to normal, he should take a maintenance dose to keep his blood pressure stable and not fluctuating. Although the blood pressure has dropped to normal, the patient or the patient's family members and medical staff should observe on time whether the blood pressure is stable and whether the treatment time has reached a certain course of treatment. The patient must insist on taking the medicine to achieve the course of treatment prescribed by the doctor.

　　Nursing staff should measure the patient's blood pressure on time, keep medical records, and systematically observe the patient's condition to avoid cardiovascular and cerebrovascular strokes and provide doctors with a reference for the next step of treatment and medication. If family members observe abnormalities in the patient, they should contact the doctor in time or send them to a nearby hospital for examination.

　　Patients should first develop good living habits, maintain a regular life, and ensure adequate sleep to keep blood pressure stable; they should maintain a good mood and emotion to prevent an increase in blood pressure caused by emotional stress, impatience, etc. In the diet, you should avoid the intake of greasy and thick flavors, and eat more foods containing iodine and vitamin C, etc.

　　In addition, salt intake should be limited to less than 6 grams per day.

　　Patients can perform physical exercises under the guidance of medical staff, such as walking, maintaining 120 to 160 steps/minute; jogging with a heart rate of no more than 120 beats/minute, and resting for 3-4 minutes after jogging until the heart rate returns to normal; patients can also alternate between walking and jogging. But be careful not to engage in high-intensity physical exercise to prevent sudden death.

　　For the health of yourself and your family, you must pay attention to your eating habits in normal times, so as to reduce the chance of suffering from high blood pressure. If you find that you have high blood pressure, you must actively treat it and strengthen care. Only in this way can you ensure good health.
