Globally, hypertension has become a major health hazard, with up to one-third of adults affected by the Global Hypertension Report, totaling 1.3 billion people.
This huge number highlights the prevalence and severity of hypertension worldwide, and in China, according to the data of the China Cardiovascular Health and Disease Report 2022, the number of hypertension patients has approached 300 million.
Moreover, the age of onset has a tendency to gradually get younger, which undoubtedly sounded the alarm for people's health. Hypertension is a condition that often has no obvious symptoms in its early stages, making it difficult to detect.
In 2024, the new blood pressure standard will be officially announced, which is no longer the traditional 120 80mmHg. This change has attracted a lot of attention, and it is vital for each of us to be aware of the new blood pressure standards.
Under the new standard, normal blood pressure is defined as less than 130 80 mmHg, while the threshold for hypertension is raised to 140 90 mmHg.
This adjustment is based on the results of a large number of clinical studies and data analysis, which is more in line with the physiological characteristics and health needs of modern people.
1.Numbness of the limbs
Blood pressure rises significantly, and many people feel numbness in their body after waking up in the morning, and numbness in the limbs is a sign of an attack.
Those whose blood pressure is significantly elevated may accelerate the lesions of blood vessels under the stimulation of high blood pressure, and even interfere with local blood circulation, circulation can not be maintained normally, local lack of blood supply, and inexplicable numbness in the process of affecting health.
If you have this kind of sign, you often feel obvious numbness in some parts of your body after getting up in the morning, it is likely that your blood pressure is rising, and you should pay attention to physical examination and take a good way to control your blood pressure.
2.Panic
In the process of rising blood pressure, the function of the heart, an important organ, will also be impaired, and many people often panic and palpitate under the influence of high blood pressure, which indicates that the heart has been threatened by high blood pressure and has a decline in function.
In the process of blood pressure fluctuations, it will affect the blood supply to the heart, which in turn will cause obvious discomfort in the heart area. Therefore, if you have inexplicable palpitations, it is best to have a physical examination in time to determine whether there is high blood pressure that threatens your health.
Chest tightness
High blood pressure is a very dangerous condition, and many people have chest tightness and fatigue, which is related to high blood pressure. When blood pressure rises significantly, heart function decreases, and chest tightness and fatigue become more pronounced.
If this pattern persists, in addition to being alert to heart disease, it is important to know if it is related to high blood pressure. Sometimes blood pressure rises, damaging the kidneys and heart, and various adverse reactions will be more significant.
4.Dizziness
One of the most common symptoms of high blood pressure, some persistent and some transient, is more pronounced with a sudden change of position (such as squatting or standing up), and is more common in women.
Persistent dull discomfort in the head may lead to difficulty concentrating, memory loss, and reduced productivity. When hypertensive crisis or vertebrobasilar insufficiency occurs, symptoms similar to those of inner ear vertigo may occur.
Some studies suggest that drinking alcohol may increase the risk of high blood pressure. This is because alcohol can affect the heart rate and vasomotor function, causing blood vessels to constrict, which increases blood pressure.
In addition, long-term heavy alcohol consumption may also lead to malnutrition and obesity, which is also associated with the occurrence of high blood pressure.
There are also some studies that suggest that drinking alcohol in moderation may have benefits for cardiovascular health. For example, moderate alcohol consumption can increase levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), a "good" type of cholesterol that can reduce the risk of arteriosclerosis and cardiovascular disease.
1.Cayenne peppers
In life, many people like to eat chili peppers, and even no spicy or happy, to the point that there must be chili peppers in their meals, and they can't eat without chili peppers. In fact, for people with high blood pressure, they should usually eat as little chili pepper as possible. Long-term intake of large amounts of chili pepper will not only burden the stomach and intestines, but also stimulate the body's sympathetic nerves, causing nerve excitation and constriction of blood vessels, which will lead to an increase in blood pressure. 
2.Pickles
A diet high in salt and fat is one of the causes of hypertension. If hypertensive patients usually eat too many small pickles, it is easy to lead to the increase of sodium chloride, the problem of water and sodium retention, and the increase of blood pressure, which is particularly unfavorable for the prevention and improvement of hypertension.
It is recommended that patients with high blood pressure eat less pickled vegetables in their lives, in addition, other pickled foods should also eat less, and try to eat a light diet, which is the key to stabilizing blood pressure.
3.Greasy foods
Common greasy foods in life include braised pork, barbecue and fried food, which are all made by Gaoyou's cooking, and patients with high blood pressure must be especially controlled.
Although these foods taste good and can satisfy people's appetites, patients with high blood pressure often eat high-fat foods, which can easily make the blood thicker and induce hyperlipidemia problems.
4.High-sugar foods
Older people prefer to eat sweet-tasting foods, such as foods with higher sugar content, they can't put it down, and always like to eat some sweet pastries to bring a little sweetness to the boring life.
Eating high-sugar foods often affects the normal metabolism of the blood, and it is also easy to aggravate blood vessel blockage and infarction, so it is not recommended for the elderly to eat high-sugar foods often.
5.Organ meats
Animal offal is loved by people because of its taste and rich nutritional value. However, a large amount of animal internal organs, especially the liver, kidneys and other organs, may have a negative impact on blood pressure for a long time.
This is because animal organs contain high levels of fat, cholesterol and sodium ions, which accumulate too much in the body, causing blood vessels to shorten and blood pressure to rise.
In addition, the high sodium ion content in animal offal is also an important factor in raising blood pressure, and excessive sodium intake for a long time will make the sodium ion concentration in the blood too high. This then provokes water retention and increased intravascular pressure, which eventually leads to an increase in blood pressure.
In general, the earlier the high blood pressure**, the better the effect. Therefore, when uncomfortable symptoms such as headache and dizziness frequently occur in life, it is necessary to be vigilant. Especially for middle-aged and elderly people and obese people, if the above symptoms appear, they should go to the hospital for examination in time and make it clear.
