The sudden drop in temperature in winter is the season when high blood pressure is prone to occur. Especially when you get up in the morning, your blood pressure is most likely to soar. The risk of stroke and myocardial infarction among young people with malignant hypertension is 3.86 times that of the average person.
"Malignant hypertension" refers to a sudden spike in blood pressure caused by nerve tension, fatigue, and external stimuli on special occasions when blood pressure is normal on ordinary days.
1. Wash your face with cold water in the morning
When you wake up in the morning, your body is still in a relaxed state. At this time, if you use cold water to stimulate the peripheral blood vessels such as your face, hands, and feet, the blood vessels will contract quickly and your blood pressure will rise abnormally. It is recommended to wash your face with warm water to avoid stimulating the rapid contraction of blood vessels.
2. Get out of the bed immediately
In winter, due to the large temperature difference between the quilt and the room, especially when you oversleep or wake up suddenly from bed, it is easier to stimulate the sympathetic nervous system and stimulate the rapid contraction of blood vessels on the body surface, causing blood pressure to soar. It is recommended to leave the bed slowly; after getting up in the morning, you can also massage your calves to make blood circulation more smooth throughout the body.
3.hard stools
Many people are used to having to go to the toilet in the morning before going out. However, if the abdomen is exerted too much, the intra-abdominal pressure will increase, and the surrounding sympathetic nerve plexus will be compressed and activated, and blood pressure will also increase sharply. Try to sit while going to the toilet to avoid a spike in blood pressure.
4. Running to work for fear of being late
Running when going out can easily cause the blood vessels of the whole body to contract quickly, and the clothes wetted with sweat will continue to stimulate the blood vessels on the skin surface to continue to contract, which is in a dangerous state of high blood pressure. It is recommended to relax in time, drink a glass of water after getting up and entering the company to dilute the thick blood of the whole body.
5. Take the crowded tram to work
The crowded commuting environment is likely to cause great stress on the mind, which can increase blood pressure, and the activation of the sympathetic nerves in the brain will also promote the secretion of adrenaline and the rapid contraction of blood vessels throughout the body. There have been cases of sudden myocardial infarction in Japan on a commuter train. It is recommended that you can relax your brain by listening to music in the car to reduce the risk of blood pressure spikes during commuting.
