What to do if you have high blood pressure during the pre-employment physical examination

Many people will undergo a physical examination before joining the company. During the pre-employment physical examination, many people will show results of high blood pressure. Of course, if the unit has requirements for blood pressure, if this result occurs, this unit should be abandoned. However, you can still continue to work for units that do not have any blood pressure requirements. Hypertension can be treated in many ways. Here are some methods to treat hypertension!

1. Take a Reasonable Rest

For patients with hypertension, proper rest is very important, especially for elderly patients. The functions of various organs in the body are in a state of decline to varying degrees, so they should pay more attention to rest and avoid excessive fatigue. Maintain a regular living routine, go to bed early and don't stay up late, and ensure 7-9 hours of sleep every day. Some elderly people need more than 10 hours of adequate sleep. At the same time, sexual intercourse should be moderate to prevent excessive sexual activity, which can damage the body and mind.

2. Eat a light diet

We know that sodium ions in table salt can cause water retention in the human body, thereby increasing blood volume, causing high blood pressure, and further increasing the burden on the heart. Therefore, it is recommended that hypertensive patients should follow the principle of eating lighter foods. Generally, the daily salt intake should be less than 3-5 grams. Clinically, some hypertensive patients have their blood pressure gradually reduced to normal range after controlling their salt intake for a period of time. In addition, eat more vegetables and easily digestible foods, and less fatty and greasy foods, especially animal fats and offal, to prevent obesity and atherosclerosis. Don’t eat too much at every meal, especially eat less at dinner. If you have the habit of smoking, drinking, and drinking tea, it is best to make up your mind to quit smoking; do not drink strong liquor, but you can drink a small amount of wine; drink light tea, especially avoid drinking strong tea and coffee before going to bed, so as not to affect your sleep and cause high blood pressure.

3. Exercise moderately

Everyone knows that "life lies in movement". Moderate exercise can relax muscles and tendons, promote blood circulation, relieve tension and help control blood pressure. Generally speaking, patients with hypertension can choose to do activities with slow rhythm and small amount of exercise, such as outdoor walking, jogging, Tai Chi, Qigong, etc., and they should not feel tired after the activity. Coldness can cause blood vessels to constrict and blood pressure to rise, so the elderly should exercise indoors or climb stairs in winter.
