How to care for hypertension?
Due to the accelerated pace of life and increasing social pressure, hypertension is now younger. Experts pointed out that hypertension may be accompanied by other complications, but it is not uncontrollable. As long as we know some basic knowledge of hypertension, we can improve the life treatment of patients with hypertension. So what are the symptoms of hypertensive patients? What should hypertensive patients do? The following introduces the common sense of daily nursing of western medicine about hypertension: 1. Blood pressure test: Many patients think that it is enough to measure blood pressure at any time. This understanding is wrong, because people's blood pressure may not be stable after exercise. Therefore, it is necessary to measure blood pressure under fixed conditions. Before measurement, patients need to sit still or lie flat for 30min minutes before measuring blood pressure. 2. If the systolic blood pressure is higher than 26kPa during measurement, you should contact a doctor in time and give necessary treatment. 3. If hypertension patients have a sharp rise in blood pressure and symptoms such as headache and vomiting, the possibility of hypertensive crisis should be considered, and the doctor should be informed immediately, and the patients should be kept in bed for oxygen inhalation. At the same time, we should prepare fast antihypertensive drugs and dehydrating agents. If the patient has convulsions and restlessness, pay attention to safety. Nursing care of patients with hypertension should also be symptomatic: 1. When patients with hypertension have obvious symptoms and signs, such as headache, stiff neck, nausea, facial flushing or pulse changes, they should keep quiet and try to eliminate all kinds of inducing factors. 2. For hypertensive patients with insomnia or mental stress, psychological care should be supplemented by medication or acupuncture. 3. Some patients may be accompanied by complications such as heart disease, encephalopathy and kidney disease. We should closely observe the fluctuation of blood pressure, record the amount of fluid in and out in detail, and monitor the heart rate, respiration, blood pressure and consciousness of patients with hypertensive crisis. 4. In winter, patients with hypertension should keep warm, the indoor temperature should be moderate, and avoid catching cold when taking a bath. Other daily nursing methods: 1. For patients with hypertension, proper rest is very important, especially in stressful work. People with high blood pressure, obvious symptoms or accompanied by organ damage should have a full rest. After treatment, the blood pressure is stable at a general level, and there is no obvious damage to organ function. In addition to ensuring adequate sleep, they can take part in whatever work they can, and advocate appropriate physical activities, such as walking, doing exercises and playing Tai Ji Chuan. , and should not be sedentary or stay in bed for a long time. 2. The intake of dietary salt and cholesterol should be reasonably controlled to avoid the increase of blood pressure. Eat more foods containing vitamins and protein, properly control food intake and total calories, and light and non-irritating foods are appropriate. Avoid alcohol and tobacco. 3. Psychological nursing emotion is also very important for patients with hypertension. To understand their personality and hobbies, in order to better care for patients, give guidance according to their different personality characteristics, and train their self-control ability. At the same time, guide their relatives to avoid various factors that may lead to mental tension and conflict of patients as much as possible. Health guidance: 1. It is necessary to widely publicize the knowledge about hypertension, arrange life reasonably, pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and measure blood pressure regularly. 2. Explain to patients or their families the importance of long-term regular treatment and health care for hypertension, so as to make blood pressure close to normal level and prevent further organ damage. 3. Improve patients' social adaptability, maintain psychological balance and avoid the influence of various bad stimuli. Pay attention to diet control and regulation, reduce the intake of sodium salt and animal fat, and avoid smoking and drinking. Keep the stool unobstructed and take laxatives if necessary. Take part in sports appropriately. Regular follow-up, when hypertension continues to rise or symptoms such as dizziness, headache and nausea appear, you should seek medical advice in time. The above is the life guidance for patients with hypertension. In addition to paying attention to the usual eating habits and necessary examinations, we should also keep a good mood and do some appropriate exercise, which is of great help to the relief of the disease and the treatment of the disease.
