At 5 am, when the city was still in sleep, Mr. Truong - a "masters" of veteran jogging - was ready to conquer familiar streets.Every day, he woke up at 5 o'clock, drank a glass of boiled water to cool, then ran around the residential area.But recently, he felt that something was wrong - after running home in the morning, he often felt dizzy, even a few times almost fell.For peace of mind, he decided to check his health.
At the clinic, Dr. Li found that Mr. Truong's blood pressure was higher than usual, with the systolic index of 150 and 95. When asked about changes in the morning habits, Mr. Truong said recentlyHe often drinks boiled water to cool immediately after waking up, then jogging.
The doctor explained that, although getting up early and exercising in the morning is very good for health, but for people with high blood pressure, such habits can make blood pressure more powerful.The doctor recommends that Mr. Truong should pay attention to adjust some habits to avoid negatively affecting health, while emphasizing the importance of understanding the relationship between early and high blood pressure.
High blood pressure and dangerous time in the morning
Dr. Ly opened the book of Health Science, pointed to a part of "morning blood pressure" and explained that in the morning it was the most dangerous time of the day for people with high blood pressure.
According to physiological theory, human blood pressure changes throughout the day.From 4 to 6 am, blood pressure is usually at the lowest level.When waking up and starting to exercise, blood pressure will increase rapidly.For ordinary people, this change does not cause concern, but for people with high blood pressure, blood vessels are no longer elastic and serious arteries can cause high blood pressure levelSuddenly in the morning, causing a lot of risks affecting the health of people with high blood pressure.
Therefore, in a period of 6 to 10 am, patients with high blood pressure if not careful can lead to serious complications such as myocardial infarction or stroke.Scientific studies, including a study published in The Lancet magazine, have shown that hypertension in the morning is closely related to the incidence of cardiovascular diseases.
3 dangerous habits for people with high blood pressure in the morning
Dr. Li began to share three morning habits that people with high blood pressure should avoid to protect their health.
The first is to get up too fast after waking up.As soon as he woke up, the body could not adapt to the change, and if suddenly stood up, the heartbeat and blood pressure will increase rapidly.For people with high blood pressure, this action can cause dizziness, even fainting.To avoid this situation, the doctor advised people to wake up in bed for a while, gently moving his limbs to get acquainted, then slowly sat up and stood up.This way helps minimize risks and protect blood pressure more stable.
The second habit is to drink cold water when hungry.This can stimulate the digestive system, cause vascular spasms and fluctuate blood pressure.In addition, blood in the morning is often thicker, drinking cold water will create more burden on the heart.The doctor recommends drinking warm water, about 200 ml, to support blood circulation and reduce blood characteristics, thereby helping blood pressure to maintain at a more stable level.
Finally, strong exercise when hungry is also a habit to avoid.High intensity exercise in the morning will stimulate the sympathetic nervous system, causing blood pressure to increase suddenly and can lead to cardiovascular complications.Instead, Dr. Ly advises people to choose gentle exercises such as walking, tai chi, and preferably after breakfast at least 30 minutes to ensure health is maintained safely..
Doctor's advice
After hearing the doctor explain, Mr. Truong remembered each instruction carefully.The doctor further emphasized: "In addition to adhering to these habits, he also needs to maintain a healthy diet. Limit salty food, increase green vegetables and fruits to support the process of regulating blood pressure."Mr. Truong nodded, feeling he had a better understanding of the morning health management.
Dr. Ly also advised Mr. Truong to practice the habit of measuring blood pressure regularly every morning, right after waking up, in order to promptly detect changes."This will help you monitor your health status and take timely interventions," the doctor added.
Mr. Truong felt more secure after receiving valuable advice from the doctor.Although he knew that changing habits was not easy, he was determined to perform to protect his health, especially in the morning habit.
The importance of blood pressure control every morning
The doctor shared more important information from studies published in Hypertension magazine in 2020, saying that if the morning blood pressure increased by 10 mmHg, the risk of cardiovascular disease would increase to 13%.However, if maintaining a healthy lifestyle and using the drug properly, patients can reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases by 30%.
Hearing that, Mr. Truong felt more excited, feeling the importance of changing the morning habits.He said: "Today I learned a lot of useful things. From now on, I will walk instead of running, changing cold water into warm water, and I will do everything slowly.It will be as stable as the doctor said! "
Dr. Li smiled, patted Mr. Truong's shoulder and encouraged him: "As long as you persistently perform these habits, your blood pressure will definitely be stable and better control."
