Often they say: arterial hypertension, borderline state of hypertension, crisis. Many terms, but sometimes I have to guess about the meaning. Therefore, it is worth explaining what the pressure of 140 to 80 is. How does it affect organs and systems.
Blood pressure is the pressure with which circulating blood acts on the walls of arterial vessels. Pressure 140 to 80 - is a state of borderline hypertension, an increase in excess of these values indicates the irreversibility of changes in the vessels and, accordingly, systems, on the basis of which the first degree hypertension is diagnosed. The first numerical value is an indicator of systolic pressure, that is, at the time of the greatest load, when blood is pushed into the blood vessels by the heart muscle. The second numerical value is an indicator of diastolic pressure, that is, at the time of a pause in the work of the heart muscle (between two contractions). If the indicators are higher than the pressure of 140 to 80, then it is worth taking urgent measures so that formidable complications do not occur. In this case, you should think about whether you are overweight, because it is so often a companion of hypertension, pay attention to the amount of fluid you drink and the amount of salt used in food, maybe they should already be limited. Get rid of bad habits such as smoking and drinking, which negatively affect vascular tone, and thereby blood pressure. Bring the ratio of working time and rest to full compliance, avoid stress and negative emotions. These are small, but very significant reasons that affect your pressure, but which you can streamline yourself and thereby normalize his testimony. Indeed, even a pressure of 140 by 70 allows you to feel better and notice the shifts in well-being that you have achieved. Let this be your little victory over your weaknesses. Of course, you can’t say with a single increase in pressure that you have developed a disease, you should not panic, but if this happens, take the principle within 2-3 days 4-5 times a day to measure its evidence. Indeed, often his jumps can be a response to physical exertion, stressful situations, changing climatic conditions. If the increase in numbers repeated, then do not postpone your visit to the doctor and undergo an examination. In addition to general blood and urine tests, it is necessary to do an ECG, as well as check the vessels of the fundus, which will tell you how long you have been suffering from arterial hypertension, since you can clearly see the changes on them.
If you were diagnosed with arterial hypertension, that is, you often have a pressure of 140 to 110, then you should start taking medications. Of course, at first prescribed “weak” antihypertensive drugs, such as papazol and raunatin, with a dosage selection for you, starting from 1 tablet 2-3 times a day for blood pressure control. If they are not enough, then connect berlipril or its analog enalopril (enam). Sedative preparations, as well as tincture of hawthorn, motherwort, and valerian bring a good effect. We must not forget about walks in the fresh air and physical activity, let it be a small burden for you, but constant. The best sport for training vascular tone for people who have a pressure of 140 to 80 or more is swimming, as well as contrasting water treatments like a circular shower, Charcot's shower, acupuncture, electrosleep, electrophoresis to the collar area with bromine. If your pressure has risen sharply, and there were no pills with you, do not neglect such simple procedures for removing it as medical jars on the collar area or mustard plasters, which will cause redistribution of blood. You can make local hot baths for arms and legs or hot wraps. Drinking hot caffeine-free liquids will reflexively dilate blood vessels and provide blood flow from the brain. It is necessary to strictly adhere to the diet, limiting the intake of animal fats and carbohydrates, get rid of coffee and black tea to the maximum, avoid spicy foods that stimulate appetite and invigorating drinks.
