Are you looking for high blood pressure at a young age? Reminder: Mostly related to maintaining these 4 bad habits for a long time

In the impression of many people, high blood pressure is a disease that only middle-aged and elderly people will suffer from. They are still very young, and of course they will not be attracted by high blood pressure.

　　As everyone knows, in the past 10 years, the prevalence of hypertension in my country has increased significantly, and the total number of patients has reached nearly 300 million, and hypertension has shown a gradually younger trend.

　　It is not only the middle-aged and the elderly or the elderly who suffer from hypertension. In fact, young and middle-aged people may also be found by primary hypertension.

　　It's just that most of the essential hypertension patients have no typical symptoms in the early stage of the disease, and they may not have any abnormal manifestations. Therefore, nearly 1/2 of the patients with essential hypertension have not found out that they have suffered from the disease. sick facts.

　　So the question is, obviously high blood pressure is a disease of the elderly, why does it find young people?

　　First of all, according to the current clinical data, the incidence of hypertension is closely related to a variety of factors, and aging is indeed one aspect. In addition, poor living and eating habits, genetics, etc., are also the reasons for the occurrence of hypertension. For example, if you maintain the following bad habits for a long time, high blood pressure may find you in the future:

1. Excessive long-term stress

　　This is a problem that many office workers have. They are running around between life and work and often cannot find their own balance. Long-term mental stress, irritability, anger, stress but not released , etc., may affect blood pressure, which is related to the secretion of hormones in the body;

2. Diet

　　There is also a certain relationship between diet and high blood pressure. Relevant studies have shown that long-term intake of excessive sodium salt causes water and sodium retention, maintaining a low-potassium diet, long-term heavy drinking, excessive intake of saturated fat , etc., may cause High blood pressure.

　　The key points to mention here are high-sodium diet and long-term alcohol abuse, which are independent risk factors for hypertension, and alcohol abuse can also accelerate the development of atherosclerosis . Therefore, it is necessary for young people to maintain a light and balanced diet and avoid long-term heavy drinking;

　　3. Smoking

　　There are many studies that directly point to smoking is an independent risk factor for the emergence of hypertension. Nearly 75% of all hypertensive patients in China have a history of smoking for many years. The reason for this is that in the process of smoking, the harmful substances in cigarettes can cause changes in blood lipids, platelet function and abnormal blood flow .

　　At the same time, carbon monoxide in cigarettes will reduce the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood, and harmful substances will cause damage to the vascular endothelium, accelerate the development of atherosclerosis , and eventually cause hypertension. Therefore, if you want to stay away from high blood pressure, it is necessary to quit smoking in time;

　　4. Stay up late

　　This is also a problem that many people have. In our opinion, staying up late is nothing more than a poor mental state the next day.

　　But in fact, staying up late may also become a breakthrough for high blood pressure, because the human body is in a state of stress when staying up late, and the sympathetic nerves are too excited, which will activate the renin-angiotensin system , and the body will secrete a large amount of catecholamines and epinephrine , prompting Rapid heartbeat, vasospasm, increased blood pressure.

　　In addition to the above four bad habits, obesity, diabetes, long-term abuse of contraceptives and hormone drugs, etc., may cause the onset of high blood pressure.

　　We must clearly realize that high blood pressure is not the patent of the elderly, and young people will also suffer from it. Especially for people with a family history of high blood pressure, a long history of smoking and alcoholism, etc., it is necessary to see a doctor regularly for blood pressure testing.
