  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.

Studies have shown that high doses of folic acid during pregnancy increase the risk of hypertension

-
According to a new study, women who take high-dose folic acid supplements from pre pregnancy to mid pregnancy may increase their risk of developing potentially dangerous high blood pressure.

The study, published Monday in the American Heart Association Journal hypertension, was designed to answer questions about the safety of prenatal folic acid vitamin supplements.

Folic acid is a vitamin B found in green vegetables, fruits, beans and other foods. It is an essential component of the human body. In addition, because it can protect unborn children from severe birth defects (neural tube defects), doctors often prescribe pre birth vitamins, and pregnant women take vitamin supplements containing more than 400 micrograms of folic acid per day.

In this study, the researchers focused on how folic acid affects the risk of two complications during pregnancy, including gestational hypertension and preeclampsia, a more severe form of hypertension. Both complications can lead to fetal dysplasia and stillbirth.

The study surveyed 4853 women taking folic acid supplements, including 1161 women with gestational hypertension and 161 women with preeclampsia. After adjusting for various factors, women who took high-dose folic acid supplements (800 mcg or more) from pre pregnancy to mid pregnancy had a 32% higher risk of developing gestational hypertension compared with those who did not take folic acid.

Even for women of normal weight, without diabetes and without a family history of hypertension, the risk of pregnancy induced hypertension is still high, the authors said. However, no significant association was found between folate supplementation and preeclampsia. This finding suggests that long-term use of high-dose folic acid should be avoided for (most) planned or pregnant women.
