How to avoid hypertension. Prevention of high blood pressure How to prevent hypertension at an early stage

Marina PAVLOVA, expert of "Eastern Medicine"

How hypertension manifests itself - a symptomatic picture

In medical practice, hypertension is considered an independent disease of the cardiovascular system. Its main manifestation is high blood pressure, which is observed at rest. As a rule, in people suffering from hypertension, the pressure shows 140/90 mm Hg. Art. and higher.

Unfortunately, statistics show that many people in all civilized countries suffer from this disease, and the number of patients is the same for both sexes. The risk of getting sick increases markedly in the age group after 40 years.

Symptoms or discomfort that appear with an increase in blood pressure are comparable to signs of banal overwork: headaches, tinnitus, and others. In most patients who come with similar problems, during the diagnosis, there is a deterioration in well-being, with which it is actually unsuccessful to fight. Even with such seemingly familiar to many symptoms, it is better not to self-medicate, as numerous complications of hypertension are possible. Without checking the pressure, many do not even know about the real scale of the danger.

Doctors among themselves call this ailment nothing more than an "invisible killer". Many people are already in the ambulance or in intensive care to learn about their diagnosis. But high blood pressure is easy enough to diagnose, even with a routine medical examination. It can be corrected if a person turns to specialists for help on time. How to test yourself on your own is quite simple. The latent course of the disease is possible with the following symptoms:

• frequent dizziness;
• headache;
• general weakness of the body;
• palpitations;
• excessive sweating;
• chills;
• redness of the skin on the face;
• strong throbbing in the head;
• a constant feeling of anxiety and internal tension;
• memory impairment;
• decreased performance and irritability;
• swollen eyelids;
• "flies" appear before the eyes;
• hands swell and fingers go numb;

All of these signs are not necessarily permanent, perhaps the symptoms appear periodically, and disappear after sleep or rest. In any case, this is not a reason to “give up” on your health and wait for it to pass by itself. Experienced doctors will help to make sure that this is not hypertension after a thorough examination.

What is the difference between the treatment of hypotension by methods of oriental medicine

How are hypertensive patients treated in Western medicine? Prescribed expensive medications that have a temporary effect and adversely affect the functioning of the kidneys, heart and liver. Traditional methods are mainly aimed at eliminating the symptoms of the disease. The main advantage of treatment with methods of oriental medicine is that the complex of procedures affects the cause that provoked this ailment.

Thus, the treatment of hypertension according to the method of the ancient medicine of the East is not only painless, but also does not cause side effects. Korean medicines are all made from natural raw materials (plant, animal and minerals).

At the East Korean Medicine Center, doctors carry out a thorough diagnosis of the patient, not only using modern technology, but also examination, conversation about food and lifestyle habits, and pulse studies. In the east, pulse diagnostics has been practiced for centuries. With its help, doctors can not only say what the patient is sick with now, but also what pathologies were observed earlier in his body. For the treatment of hypertension, a set of procedures is prescribed:

• phytotherapy;
• nutritional correction and lifestyle recommendations;
• warming up with wormwood cigars;

To prevent the disease from becoming chronic, it is imperative to start treatment in a timely manner. As you know, the heart wears out too quickly, and our vessels lose elasticity, and therefore there is a threat of hypertension, strokes, paresis, etc. The rate of illness can be slowed down and reduced to zero if the patient follows all the advice and recommendations on nutrition.

The diet is also prescribed individually, depending not only on the course of the disease, but also on the person's constitution. Thanks to natural Korean medicines (phytopreparations), blood vessels are cleansed. They have a vasodilating and hypotensive effect, calm the nervous system and help remove excess fluid from the body.

Hypertension treatment takes place without chemicals and harmful drugs. Spasms of the arteries are relieved, causing an increase in blood pressure. In combination with the methods, the maximum effect is ensured and the person forgets what hypertension is.

Why is the appearance of a hypertensive crisis dangerous?

As medical practice shows, patients diagnosed with hypertension often experience a hypertensive crisis. This is such an emergency condition that is caused by a strong increase in blood pressure, which threatens with serious and even in some cases life-threatening changes in the body.

Constant stress, excessive physical activity, cessation of medication, etc. lead to the appearance of a hypertensive crisis. What is characteristic of a hypertensive crisis - it begins suddenly and during an attack a person may experience:

• nausea and vomiting;
• severe headache;
• severe visual impairment;
• constricting pain in the chest;
• redness of the skin and mucous membranes;
• shortness of breath;
• convulsions;

If there is a person nearby who has similar symptoms, you must immediately call doctors. In no case should the patient be given high doses of a medicine that lowers blood pressure, as this can be life-threatening.

The main causes of hypertension

Almost a quarter of the world's adult population suffers from this dangerous disease, if not more. The reasons that provoke the onset of hypertension include various factors. In the elderly, according to the interpretation in oriental medicine, a violation of the nervous system (the Wind constitution) is manifested. In this state, activity in the body spontaneously increases, arrhythmia and frequent heartbeat appear.

In middle age, people with a bile constitution are at risk of developing hypertension. Anger, emotional distress, irritability, excessive passion for meat dishes, pickles, high-calorie foods and, of course, alcoholic beverages provoke an increase in pressure.

Internal factors... A combination of internal and external factors leads to the appearance of this disease. Internal is considered to be, first of all, a hereditary predisposition to hypertension. Scientists have long proved that if close relatives suffered from hypertension, then the chance of getting sick increases greatly. In addition, numerous studies have shown that the disease is also often traced back to several generations.

External factors... External factors that contribute to the development of arterial hypertension include a person's habits and lifestyle:

• emotional overstrain, which is especially characteristic of a modern person;
• frequent stressful situations that drain blood pressure regulation centers;
• improper and irregular nutrition, leading to obesity;
• smoking and addiction to alcoholic beverages;
• lack of physical activity;

Thus, the genetic predisposition provides the risk of hypertension, and it depends on the person whether the disease develops or not.

Providing a psychological climate

When a person has already been diagnosed with hypertension, others should understand that psychological comfort is very important at this moment. It is necessary to try not to quarrel with the patient, to avoid all kinds of conflicts and to provide him with a normal sleep. If the person is involved in night work, find a replacement if possible. Frequent business trips, night shifts, as well as dissatisfaction with their work are fraught with negative feelings - anger, anger, melancholy, etc.

In turn, such emotions provoke an excess of the production of the stress hormone (that is, adrenaline) and the regulation of the nervous system, as well as the circulatory system, is disrupted, which naturally leads to blood pressure. It is necessary to maintain a benevolent mood, as this is the most important rule in the fight against an illness.

Doctors advise each patient with hypertension to develop their own algorithm - how to deal with stress. We are all different, some are helped by meditation, for example, while others are helped by walks in the park, auto-training or a favorite cat.

Undoubtedly, in the modern world it is very difficult to get rid of worries and completely avoid stress. They pursue a person at home, at work, and on public transport. However, everyone should understand the threat of emotional disorders and understand the causes of conflicts, learn to control their words and actions. When you can't do it on your own, specialists from the East Korean Medicine Center will come to your aid, who will advise and give their professional recommendations.

How to prevent hypertension - disease prevention

• Eliminate nervous overstrain, physical overwork, and if the disease has already begun to manifest itself, control the intensity of physical activity, but in no case stop.
• Monitor your diet, try to eat less table salt and take into account that some foods themselves contain a huge amount of salt.
• Periodically undergo prophylaxis using the methods of oriental medicine to strengthen the blood vessels.
• Eliminate overeating, since excess weight is a direct path to the development of hypertension. Any calorie restricted diet leads to lower blood pressure. Doctors advise to exclude products containing caffeine (strong coffee, tea, cocoa).
• In the daily diet, it is advisable to exclude spicy foods, smoked meats, pickles, fatty foods, cakes (especially butter), muffins and offal (liver, kidneys, brains).
• Refuse to drink alcoholic beverages, although some doctors believe that a small amount of high-quality red wine (up to 200 grams) is very beneficial for health.

Often, persistent high blood pressure appears in not only the elderly, but also in young people. As a rule, the wrong way of life is to blame for this. However, this is not the only cause of hypertension.

What should be done in order to avoid this ailment, which often leads to more severe chronic diseases? Who should adjust their lifestyle and how to approach it correctly? I tried to find answers to all these important questions regarding the prevention of hypertension "Ladies Expert".

Who is at risk

Take a close look at this list.

The risk of developing hypertension usually increases in patients:

• due to hereditary or age factors;
• obesity;
• smoking;
• alcoholism;
• diabetes mellitus;
• sedentary lifestyle;
• salt abuse and poor nutrition in general;
• the onset of menopause;
• diseases of the kidneys, hypothalamus, nervous or endocrine systems;
• mental trauma and stress;
• chronic fatigue;
• taking oral contraceptives, anti-inflammatory drugs, appetite suppressants, and some other medicines.

If you have coincided several points at once, then it is quite possible that arterial hypertension has already overtaken you or will develop soon. It's just that while the ailment does not manifest itself in any way, or you do not pay any attention to its symptoms.

Most often, the disease overtakes men up to 45 years old, after 60 years, the number of patients suffering from persistently high blood pressure is equalized by gender. But you can get sick with hypertension at any age. If you are only 30 years old, this does not mean that you are not at risk. Much depends on your attitude to your own health.

Youth does not guarantee absolute health

A decisive role in the occurrence of hypertension in young people is often played by poor heredity. Along with the tendency to high blood pressure at the genetic level, poor quality of blood vessels can be transmitted. And this is often the cause of arterial hypertension. Stress and high emotional stress also have a great influence. They can cause an increase in blood pressure.

Signs of the development of hypertension

Arterial hypertension does not develop in one day, but over the years. The first signs are similar to the usual slight overwork and quickly pass: increased pressure, headache, heart palpitations, chest pain, weakness.

With the development of the disease, memory impairment, numbness of the fingers, flickering of small spots in front of the eyes or larger circles appear, decreased performance and increased fatigue. The limbs begin to freeze, the head seems heavy, and there is a noise in the ears. Sweating, blurred vision, morning swelling, dizziness and nausea are common. The kidneys start to work worse. This can go on for several years. However, these changes are still reversible. At an early stage, hypertension can be successfully treated.

Blood pressure measurement

If you experience any of the above symptoms, you should see your doctor. He will measure your blood pressure in a state of complete rest after a 5-minute rest and no more than 1 time in 3 minutes. When the doctor at the reception fixes increased indicators at least 2 times, this already indicates the presence of a disease. You should get a tonometer and monitor your condition constantly.

Hypertension, or arterial hypertension, is characterized by periodic or persistent increases in blood pressure. Such a diagnosis is made in patients with a blood pressure of 165/95 mm Hg. Art. and higher if it is observed at least 3 times within 7-14 days. Blood pressure can be maintained and persistently high. However, with good tolerance, this may not affect the patient's condition in any way.

The patient may not even feel that he has high blood pressure

Indicators of the norm blood pressure for healthy people is 110 / 70-120 / 80 mm Hg. Art. Increased pressure from 140/90 mm Hg. Art. for older people, with normal health, it can be considered the norm. It all depends on the specific case.

If the blood pressure is 110 / 70-110 / 60 mm Hg. Art., then it is lowered. 100/60 mm Hg. Art. already called hypotension. This is a problem, the reverse of hypertension, in which the pressure is usually in the range of 140 / 90-180 / 110 mm Hg. Art. and higher. The stage of the disease also depends on the specific value.

For people of different age groups, there are rules:

• at the age of 16-20 years it is 100 / 70-120 / 80 mm Hg. Art .;
• 20-40 years old - 120 / 70-130 / 80 mm Hg. Art .;
• 40-60 years old - 140 / 60-140 / 90 mm Hg. Art .;
• over 60 years old - up to 150/90 mm Hg. Art.

Exercise is an excellent prevention of hypertension

To maintain health as long as possible, you must maintain a certain physical shape. The least you can do is do morning exercises and walk as often as possible. Walks are indicated for patients who, due to some circumstances, are unable to jog or cycle. The good thing about walking is that it does not require special equipment and skills. You can walk at any time of the year, speeding up or slowing down. Such exercises are especially useful for the elderly and overweight people.

Swimming or yoga is suitable for many - here you can choose to your taste.

In addition, exercise is excellent for relieving stress and tension. By tightening your muscles, you learn to relax on an emotional level, as strange as it sounds.

Walking with grandchildren on foot is the best prevention of hypertension!

In addition, active exercise reduces the level of adrenaline in a person's blood. And this contributes to the expansion of blood vessels, and, as a result, lowering pressure.

Just do not overdo it: with high blood pressure, it is important that physical activity is not excessive, otherwise it will backfire.

Less salt and fat!

Often with arterial hypertension, doctors recommend that patients reduce their intake of salt and meat, especially fatty varieties. To prevent hypertension, adhere to a low-fat diet and completely stop using sodium chloride is not worth it. However, if the doctor recorded a persistently high blood pressure in you, the maximum salt prescribed for a day is 3 g.

Sweet and fresh bread with arterial hypertension is also prohibited. Low-fat dairy products, lean boiled beef, eggs, legumes, fruits, herbs and vegetables are allowed. Preference should be given to those of them that contain a large amount of vitamin C: black currants, citrus fruits, green onions, radishes.

People with high blood pressure should not eat butter, sour cream, boiled sausages, minced meat products, caviar, offal. Replace them with vegetables and fruits, sea fish, low-fat cottage cheese and kefir.

You will also have to forget about tea and coffee. Also, avoid caffeinated sodas. Certain spices (which add spice to food) and alcohol are also prohibited. Instead, drink herbal teas and infusions (such as chamomile tea), they do not disturb the nervous system and have a calming effect. Therefore, the pressure is reduced.

All prohibited foods just contribute to an increase in blood pressure. Remember this. And if the doctor has prescribed a diet for you, it must be strictly adhered to, sometimes throughout the rest of your life.

Eliminate stress

When a person experiences emotional stress, is in a state of nervous tension, adrenaline is released into the blood in huge quantities.

A positive attitude and goodwill often help maintain good health for years to come.

The most dangerous condition is stress. In this case, due to the increased content of adrenaline, the blood vessels are narrowed. Because of this, blood pressure rises.

In addition, the heart suffers, which has to work with increased stress. Remember this and try to be less nervous, especially over trifles. As a last resort, change your strenuous work. Calmness prolongs life.

Try to be calm about everything, be kind to people. Try to find a universal remedy that will help you calm down. For some, knitting has a pacifying effect, for others walking, for others, only yoga helps.

If you cannot control yourself, seek help from a psychologist: he will help you find an effective sedative or activity.

In the initial stage, hypertension is highly treatable. It is important not to start the disease. If you have high blood pressure, do not forget to measure it once a day, stick to a diet, give up bad habits and listen to the recommendations of your doctor.

Ignoring the correct lifestyle and addictions lead to the fact that 65% of people after 60 years of age have manifestations of overestimated, better known as hypertension. At present, such a disease has become significantly "younger", so middle-aged people, unlike the elderly, often simply do not know how to lower blood pressure. Hypertension is a pathological disruption of the natural functioning of the circulatory system and heart, in which the pressure in the arteries is constantly increased to a value 140 x 90 mm Hg or more. Depending on the severity of the course and the state of the vessels, the disease is divided into three stages.

If at first the symptoms are limited to a general decrease in tone, fatigue and a drop in working capacity, then the disease progresses further, manifesting itself with severe pain in the heart, blurred vision, headache, up to a threat to life (third stage). Every adult should “know the enemy by sight” in order to be able to recognize and take appropriate measures in time, and not panic for an answer and think “how to bring down high blood pressure”.

As you know, the heart constantly pushes blood through the vessels. While they are new, the whole system works smoothly. It is enough to show malfunctioning of the kidneys, as the level of fluid in the body rises sharply and the heart has to pump more blood, and the pressure rises at the same time. Salt indirectly affects the same mechanism: it not only retains liquid, but also causes thirst. If a person has swelling under the eyes in the morning, then this is a reason to seriously think about your health.

Normally, the walls of the vessels are elastic, which compensates for the influence of the heart rate. The loss of this property also increases the pressure. It can be caused by both a genetic predisposition and overgrowth of the lumens in the vessels. Now they talk about cholesterol at every step, because it is its excess that provokes the growth of fat on the walls. Interestingly, the body needs cholesterol, and problems arise with an excess of it. Who has not heard about the effects of stress on health? The boss was rude, his legs were crushed in public transport, salary delay, and as a result - insomnia and worries? Well, you are at risk. Stress affecting the heart muscle causes high blood pressure. Sometimes such a shake is useful, but if it continues daily, then soon you will have to think about how to bring down the pressure. The famous cardiac surgeon argued that the older a person is, the more physical exertion he should be subjected to. At first glance, the paradoxical statement has a completely objective basis: loads stimulate all body systems, keep it in good shape. It is not without reason that it is recommended to walk at a fast pace of at least 6 km per day.

But, alas, the modern way of life pushes a person to live "one day": to consume large quantities of products from McDonald's, indulge in fatty and fried foods, only read about sports in books, smoke and, as a result, take a turn to the doctor, who knows how to bring down the pressure. Is it correct? Maybe it's time to take life into your own hands, and not "go with the flow"? Everyone decides for himself.

Conventional wisdom says: "The best treatment is prevention." The ancient Greek physician Hippocrates argued that human food should function as a medicine, and medicine should be food. Therefore, it is so important to follow publicly available recommendations and know that everyone's way to normalize the work of the heart and blood vessels is to change the diet: less fatty and salty foods, and more fruits and vegetables. Before you bring down the pressure, you need to remember that arterial hypertension is formed for a rather long time, therefore, it should be normalized gradually, without sudden changes.

More and more often, people have recently come to doctors with complaints of headache, dizziness, discomfort in the heart and other unpleasant symptoms. All these manifestations often become signs of such a dangerous disease as hypertension. The first degree is the initial stage of pathology, at which it is not too late to take the necessary measures to prevent complications and worsen the course of the disease. In the article, we will consider what grade 1 arterial hypertension is, how the disease manifests itself, and also get acquainted with the main methods of treating this ailment.

What it is

A frequent increase in blood pressure above the norm is called hypertension. In healthy people, mercury column values \u200b\u200bshould not exceed 120/80. In cases where regular deviations are observed, accompanied by characteristic symptoms, hypertension is diagnosed. Its initial stage is called hypertension of the 1st degree. In recent years, the age of pathology has become significantly younger. If earlier this disease was predominantly sick people over 35-40 years old, nowadays the pathology is increasingly common in young people and even children.

Important! A serious danger of hypertension is that very often the disease proceeds without visible symptoms and ends with a stroke or other serious complications. Among the people, hypertension is called the "silent killer".

In medical practice, there are three degrees of the disease:

1. Hypertension of the I degree - the pressure does not rise often, it has a spasmodic character. At this stage, treatment is simply necessary, since with inadequate attention, the pathology passes into the following forms.
2. Stage II hypertension - the nature of the pressure increase is more persistent, the patient's mercury column values \u200b\u200brarely fall below 190/110, constant drug therapy is required.
3. Hypertension III degree - the last and most dangerous degree. The pressure is high and can reach critical levels. At this stage, the disease often happens, which is accompanied by a significant deterioration in the patient's condition and severe consequences.

If you start timely treatment of the disease in the early stages, the chances of avoiding the further development of pathology are significantly increased.

Symptoms and Causes

The first degree of the disease has certain risks to the patient's health. Let's consider them in more detail:

1. Hypertension 1 degree risk 1. Here, the probability of developing cardiovascular diseases in a patient within the next ten years is within 15%.
2. Hypertension 1 degree risk 2. The prognosis of complications is predicted with a probability of 20%.
3. Hypertension 1 degree risk 3. Development of complications is possible with a 30% probability.
4. At risk grade 4, the probability of severe complications is more than 30%.

These forecasts are determined by a specialist. The criteria for determining the degree of risk are pressure indicators, the general condition of the patient, the presence of various diseases, the state of blood vessels and capillaries and some other indicators.

Symptoms of the disease in the early stages do not show too intense symptoms. These include:

• increase in blood pressure by 5-10 mm Hg. Art. above the norm;
• headache, which is most often located in the occiput and temporal part of the head;
• the appearance of "flies" in the eyes;
• dizziness;
• depressed emotional state of the patient;
• nausea.

It should be noted that the main reason for the development of hypertension is the narrowing of the vascular lumen. As a result, the heart is forced to carry out an additional load, since it is necessary to forcefully push blood through the veins. As a result, blood pressure rises and the heart rate increases. This happens under the influence of various factors, which include the following:

• age-related changes;
• bad habits (alcohol, drugs);
• emotional stress;
• sedentary lifestyle;
• poor nutrition;
• high blood cholesterol;
• overweight;
• some diseases of the thyroid gland, such as diabetes mellitus;
• trauma.

Important! Some causes are congenital, such as heredity. Others are acquired - most often this is a wrong way of life and an inattentive attitude to one's body.

Many patients ask the question: 1 degree? Further in the article, we will figure out how to treat the disease with the help of drug therapy and alternative methods.

Features of traditional treatment

Some patients mistakenly believe that at the initial stage of hypertension, treatment is not required, since blood pressure rises in almost all people under the influence of various reasons. This is a fundamentally wrong opinion. It often happens that patients seek medical help already in severe stages of the disease, when the treatment can only be supportive and it is no longer possible to get rid of the disease. That is why it is necessary to start treatment at the first stage. This will help avoid further development of the disease and its complications. So, let's try to figure out how to treat grade 1 hypertension.

Drug treatment implies a persistent decrease in pressure indicators and maintaining them within normal limits. For this, the following groups of drugs are used.

1. ACE inhibitors.
2. Calcium antagonists.

Let's take a closer look at what kind of tablets are used in practice.

Diuretics

Diuretics that are able to remove excess fluid from the body and, along with it, sodium ions and other harmful substances. This includes the following drugs:

• Amiloride;
• Ffurosemide;
• Torasemide.

Most often, these funds are prescribed for uncomplicated hypertension in alliance with other drugs.

Beta blockers

A group of these drugs is successfully used among hypertensive patients, as it effectively reduces blood pressure and normalizes the heart rate. This includes:

• Sotalol;
• Bisoprolol;
• Pindolol.

Often used for ischemia, arrhythmias, tachycardia. However, the use of beta-blockers is prohibited in bronchial asthma, since bronchial spasm is a common side effect.

ACE inhibitors

These drugs are often prescribed after myocardial infarction, as well as in patients with heart failure and other diseases accompanying hypertension. This group includes the following medicines:

• Enalapril;
• Fozinopril;
• Captopril.

Calcium antagonists

These drugs are able to regulate the flow of calcium into the blood, reliably lower blood pressure and improve the general well-being of the patient. The drugs in this group are as follows:

• Tyropamil;
• Manidipine;
• Ryodipin.

Important! All medications have side effects. Only a doctor should prescribe treatment for hypertension.

Getting rid of pathology using traditional medicine

Traditional medicine advocates argue that getting rid of high blood pressure with natural products from nature is safer than using chemicals. In addition, ingredients for the preparation of most medicines are available and sold on the market and in the pharmacy at affordable prices. There are a lot of recipes for reducing pressure. We offer to consider several of the most popular of them.

Flax seeds

Flax is an amazing plant that can have a healing effect on the human body. The seeds of this plant contain a huge amount of useful and irreplaceable components. Flax contains omega 3 fatty acids that are valuable for human health. These elements are very important for the body, since they are not synthesized on their own, but only come with food. Such a valuable product of nature as flax seeds has the following effects:

• normalization of lipid metabolism;
• strengthening the walls of blood vessels and capillaries;
• normalization of blood pressure;
• removal of toxins and toxins.

Lemon to normalize blood pressure

Many people know about the huge amount of vitamins and beneficial amino acids contained in lemon fruits. In the treatment of hypertension, the following recipe is used: pass a whole lemon through a meat grinder, use both pulp and zest. After that add 2 tbsp. l. powdered sugar. Insist the product in a dark place, protected from direct sunlight, then store in the refrigerator. Consume a teaspoon three times a day for 20 days.

Rosehip tea

The fruits of this plant also have a beneficial effect on human health. With hypertension, it is recommended to drink tea from its berries. You can use both fresh and dry fruits. To do this, grind them and pour boiling water (1 tbsp. L. Berries per 1 l. Boiling water). You need to infuse the tea for 20-40 minutes, drink it warm with the addition of sugar or honey.

Important! Before treatment with traditional medicine, it is better to consult a doctor. This will help avoid side effects and unwanted complications.

Hypertension 1 degree and military service

Many patients are interested in the question: 1 degree? We will try to answer it.

Hypertension is a rather complex disease that requires timely diagnosis and adequate treatment. In some cases, the features of the pathology are the reason for the prohibition of military service. This is possible in the following cases:

1. The upper (systolic) pressure in a young man ranges from 140 to 160 mm Hg. Art.
2. The lower pressure () is observed in the region of 90–100 mm Hg. Art.
3. The patient passed all the necessary tests in a hospital setting.

Pregnancy and high blood pressure

Pregnancy with hypertension of 1 degree should take place under the strict supervision of a physician, since patients in a position with this diagnosis are at risk. A woman during the period of carrying a child should remember the rules that will help avoid negative consequences:

1. Attendance at antenatal clinics should be regular. You also need to take all the necessary tests every day.
2. Nutrition for hypertension of the 1st degree should be balanced and correct. It is worth limiting the use of salt, as well as spicy, fatty, sweet and smoked foods. It is also recommended to eliminate legumes and other foods that cause flatulence from the diet.
3. In case of any worsening of the condition, for example, headache, dizziness, chest pain, you should immediately consult a doctor.

Important! With sharp increases in pressure in pregnant women, there is a risk of fetal hypoxia. In order to avoid this, women in a position should treat their health with great responsibility.

Despite the fact that grade 1 hypertension is a mild form of the disease, it should be taken seriously. Timely diagnosis and treatment will help to avoid many problems in the future.
