However, people's understanding of hypertension is also deepening, and they gradually realize that hypertension is not terrible, but is a variety of complications caused by hypertension.
Long-term elevated blood pressure levels can not only cause physical discomfort such as headaches and dizziness, but also cause damage to vital organs such as the heart, brain, kidneys, and eyes.
This damage is sometimes slow and insidious, but once it erupts, the consequences can be fatal, for example, cerebral infarction is a serious complication caused by high blood pressure, which occurs in many people clinically.
According to relevant statistics, there are nearly 200 million hypertensive patients in China, and hypertension is one of the important causes of cerebral infarction
The relationship between hypertension and cerebral infarction is closely related, hypertension is one of the important risk factors for cerebral infarction, hypertension can increase the incidence and mortality of cerebral infarction, so hypertensive patients need to actively control blood pressure to prevent the occurrence of cerebral infarction.
First of all, high blood pressure can damage the blood vessel wall, making the plaque on the blood vessel wall easy to fall off, thus forming blood clots, and eventually leading to cerebral infarction.
Secondly, high blood pressure can accelerate the development of arteriosclerosis, narrowing blood vessels and reducing blood flow, leading to ischemia and hypoxia in the brain, which can lead to cerebral infarction.
In addition, high blood pressure can also lead to a decrease in heart function, weakening the heart's ability to pump blood, leading to insufficient blood supply to the brain, which increases the risk of cerebral infarction.
In general, blood pressure above 140 90 mmHg may increase the risk of cerebral infarction.
When blood pressure is too high, the heart needs to pump blood harder to maintain the normal functioning of the body, which leads to an increase in pressure within the blood vessels, which makes the blood vessel walls damaged, and cholesterol and platelets are more likely to be deposited on the blood vessel walls, forming blood clots, and eventually leading to cerebral infarction.
In addition, high blood pressure can also lead to arteriosclerosis of cerebral blood vessels, making blood vessels become narrower and narrower, and eventually lead to poor blood flow to the brain and cerebral infarction, so it is very important to control blood pressure within the normal range to prevent cerebral infarction.
Clinically, whether it is a blood pressure of 145 95 or 160 100, it is a dangerous hypertensive state and a risk factor for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, both of which may have a negative impact on the structure and function of blood vessels, thereby increasing the risk of cerebral infarction. However, blood pressure levels are not the only determinant, and the occurrence of cerebral infarction is also affected by other factors, including narrowing of blood vessels, atherosclerosis, high cholesterol, diabetes, etc., which may cause damage to blood vessels and increase the risk of thrombosis. Clinically, medical staff will assess the risk of cerebral infarction according to the patient's specific situation, the normal operation structure of blood vessels, and the potential pathological changes in the body.
Symptoms may be different for each hypertensive patient, and health care providers will also determine the patient's problems based on the range of blood pressure fluctuations and changes in various indicators of blood routine testing.
People with high blood pressure need to actively control their blood pressure to reduce the risk of cerebral infarction, however, many people do not pay enough attention to the control of high blood pressure or do not know how to control it.
In daily life, they may overtake various energy elements, which may induce vascular damage and deterioration of clinical status, so the risk factor of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and metabolic diseases is also increasing.
The occurrence of cerebral infarction is often closely related to the unstable clinical control of hypertension or the neglect of their own blood pressure mechanism, and hypertensive patients need to achieve normal blood pressure levels through their own control range and dietary structure, so as to avoid destroying the body's vascular structure and reduce the coagulation and blockage of platelets in the blood.
Otherwise, when blood spots and blood clots accumulate in the blood, the probability of thrombosis gradually forming will increase, and the risk of inducing cerebral infarction will also increase.
Diabetes
Diabetes causes damage to the lining of blood vessels, making blood vessels more fragile and increasing the risk of cerebral infarction.
Hyperlipidemia
High blood lipids can lead to an increase in blood viscosity, increasing the risk of thrombosis.
Smoking
Smoking damages the lining of blood vessels and increases the risk of thrombosis. Smoking also increases the amount of carbon monoxide in the blood, further worsening the damage to the lining of blood vessels.
Obesity
Obesity can lead to dyslipidemia and increased blood pressure, increasing the risk of cerebral infarction.
Bad Xi
For example, lack of exercise, unhealthy diet, staying up late, etc. will increase the risk of cerebral infarction.
Transient ischemic attack (TIA).
TIA is the most common "reminder" before cerebral infarction, which is manifested as a sudden onset of unilateral limb numbness, weakness, crooked corners of the mouth, aphasia and other symptoms, which usually lasts for a few minutes to a few hours and then resolves on its own.
Although TIAs are not the same as cerebral infarction, they are a red flag of cerebral infarction and need to be taken seriously.
Headaches
Before the onset of cerebral infarction, patients often have severe headaches, usually accompanied by nausea, vomiting and other symptoms, which are different from the usual migraine and tension headaches, and the degree is more severe and lasts longer.
Vertigo
Vertigo is another common symptom before a cerebral infarction, where people feel like the world is spinning, unsteady on their feet, or even fainting suddenly, usually due to insufficient blood supply to the brain.
Visual impairment
Before the onset of cerebral infarction, patients may have symptoms such as blurred vision, visual field defects, and dark shadows in front of the eyes, which may be caused by ischemia and hypoxia of the optic nerve due to cerebral vascular blockage.
Maintain a healthy lifestyle
Get enough sleep, avoid excessive fatigue and stress, and avoid bad Xi such as excessive alcohol consumption and smoking.
Eat right
Maintain a low-salt, low-fat, low-sugar diet Xi eat more healthy foods such as vegetables, fruits, and whole grains.
Exercise in moderation
Moderate exercise can help lower blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels, and enhance heart and lung function and muscle strength.
Control of underlying conditions
Diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia are the main risk factors for cerebral infarction, so it is necessary to actively control these underlying diseases, take medication on time, and have regular check-ups.
Detect and treat the precursors of cerebral infarction in a timely manner
If you have symptoms such as sudden dizziness, headache, numbness in the limbs, and blurred vision, you should seek medical attention immediately so as not to miss the best time.
According to the results of the study, in general, the normal blood pressure value ranges between 139-90 89-60 mmHg, and in this range, the closer the blood pressure is to the lower limit of the normal value, i.e. 139 89 mmHg, the lower the risk of cerebral infarction.
Of course, this does not mean that the lower the blood pressure, the better, if the blood pressure is less than 100 60mmHg, there is a risk of hypotensive symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, etc.
Therefore, keeping blood pressure within the normal range is essential to reduce the risk of cerebral infarction.
