How does the life of pulmonary hypertension patient recuperate

  How does the life of pulmonary hypertension patient recuperate? For the treatment of pulmonary hypertension, patients must have more rest, pay attention to more rest at ordinary times, reasonably arrange their own lives, develop good living habits and eating habits, and do a good job of disease prevention. Let's have a detailed understanding.   1. Adequate rest: Adequate rest can relieve the fatigue symptoms caused by pulmonary hypertension.   2. Do not travel or live at high altitudes: Altitude alone can aggravate the symptoms of pulmonary hypertension. If you live at high altitudes, you should consider moving to a lower one.   3. Avoid activities that can cause ultra-low blood pressure, such as taking a sauna or taking a hot bath for too long. They can cause excessive drops in blood pressure, which can lead to fainting or even sudden death. Also, you need to avoid prolonged exertion, such as lifting heavy objects for long periods of time.   4. Find a relaxing ac

Is the risk of hypertension in Tangyou related to leg thickness?

Recently, researchers from Xinhua Hospital Affiliated to Medical College of Shanghai Jiaotong University have published a clinical study, which shows that thigh circumference can significantly reduce the risk of hypertension in overweight and obese diabetic patients. The study included 9520 people over the age of 40 who were divided into three groups according to their thigh circumference. The results showed that in overweight and obese people, compared with those with normal blood pressure, the thigh circumference of hypertension patients was significantly smaller. Compared with non-diabetic patients, the negative correlation between thigh circumference and hypertension in diabetic patients is more significant. In other words, overweight or obese diabetic patients with relatively thin thighs should be more alert to the occurrence of hypertension.

Research has found that there is a phenomenon called "insulin resistance" and hypertension, diabetes are related. In other words, both diabetes and hypertension are rooted in the common soil of insulin resistance. The increase of visceral fat is an important factor of insulin resistance, which is closely related to hypertension. In overweight and obese people, people with small thigh circumference may be more prone to visceral fat accumulation, and insulin resistance may also increase, which may be one of the reasons why people with small thigh circumference have a higher risk of hypertension.

Of course, this study is only based on the preliminary observation of clinical phenomena, and its mechanism needs further study. Therefore, it is not recommended that diabetic patients increase limb circumference blindly in order to prevent hypertension.

Diabetes and hypertension increase the risk of each other by 1.5-2 times. About half of diabetic patients have hypertension. Diabetic patients with hypertension are prone to macrovascular and microvascular lesions, which greatly increase the risk of stroke, cerebral hemorrhage, myocardial infarction, heart failure and renal dysfunction.

In daily life, blood pressure control of diabetic patients should do the following:

1. Control your diet. Especially to control the intake of salt, reduce the content of sodium in the diet. The daily intake of sodium should not exceed 2300 mg, instant salt should not exceed 5g; secondly, calcium, magnesium and other minerals should be supplemented, which is conducive to the control of blood pressure; eat less high-fat food to prevent visceral fat accumulation leading to abdominal obesity; and more dietary fiber.

2. Exercise properly. Exercise has a clear antihypertensive effect, but blood pressure will rise after strenuous exercise. Therefore, exercise intensity should not be too large, but exercise time can be appropriately prolonged. Patients can choose swimming, ball games, fast walking, yoga, Taijiquan and other sports according to their own constitution.

3. If hypertension is found, medication should be taken in time under the guidance of doctors.
