What are the nursing measures for patients with hypertension?

In real life, hypertension is a relatively common physical disease, especially among middle-aged and elderly people. After hypertension occurs in the body, it is necessary to take antihypertensive drugs in time to control it. You should also pay attention to some care measures in daily life. When you get up, you can move slowly to avoid dizziness. You can eat more light foods.

Hypertension care

Get up slowly

Patients with hypertension should pay special attention to avoid getting up immediately after being woken up by the alarm clock. The correct way to do it is to wake up in the morning, lie on your back in bed first, move your limbs, head and neck, then slowly sit up, move your upper limbs a few times, and then get out of bed to move around. This way, your blood pressure will not fluctuate greatly.

Wash with warm water

Patients should reduce their exposure to cold water in normal times. This is an important way to avoid a sudden increase in blood pressure. Too hot or too cold water will stimulate skin receptors, causing the surrounding blood vessels to contract and dilate, thereby affecting blood pressure. It is most appropriate to wash your face and rinse your mouth with warm water at 30-35 degrees Celsius.

Drink a glass of water in the morning

This is a good habit that patients need to develop in their daily lives. Drink a glass of boiled water after rinsing your mouth after getting up in the morning. It can not only flush the gastrointestinal tract, but also dilute the blood, reduce blood viscosity, smooth blood circulation, promote metabolism, and lower blood pressure.

By actively adopting the above methods, patients with hypertension can keep their blood pressure in a relatively stable state and avoid serious harm from recurring illness. Therefore, patients should pay attention to the active development of health care for hypertension so that they can recover their health as soon as possible.

Nursing Care of Patients with Essential Hypertension

First of all, patients should maintain a stable mental state before going to bed to avoid the risk of excessive fluctuations in blood pressure. Patients should avoid mental tension, excitement, agitation, etc. before going to bed, pay attention to relaxing themselves, do not overeat, entertain, talk or read for too long, do not smoke, drink alcohol, drink tea or coffee, so as not to affect sleep. Taking a proper walk after dinner and taking a hot bath or soaking your feet in hot water before going to bed can help you fall asleep.

Secondly, patients should pay attention to the importance of adequate rest in lowering blood pressure, and if they can develop the habit of going to bed early and getting up early, it will be more beneficial to their condition. Hypertensive patients should get up slowly at night and not sit up quickly. It is best to sit in bed for 1 to 2 minutes and then stand up slowly to avoid falls and injuries due to orthostatic hypotension.

The patient's family should actively cooperate with the patient to provide necessary care. If the patient is found to have persistent and frequent angina pectoris, accompanied by cold sweats, irritability and other symptoms of acute myocardial infarction in daily life, do not move the patient at will. Give the patient nitroglycerin or Guanxin Suhe Pills sublingually, and contact the hospital for emergency treatment immediately. If cardiac arrest is found, mouth-to-mouth breathing, heart boxing and chest massage should be performed immediately, and the doctor should be cooperated with to perform on-site rescue.
