Hypertension and sleepiness?

The symptom of hypertension may bring many complications, and drowsiness is a signal of hypertension, so it is recommended that patients should promote blood circulation. Therefore, patients with hypertension should exercise appropriately to relieve the symptoms of hypertension. Patients with hypertension should observe their living environment and pay attention to the prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and then receive treatment according to the doctor's advice.

Elderly people with hypertension often feel sleepy. I think this may be a signal that the patient's blood flow may slow down due to his own high blood pressure, and he may have mild symptoms of ischemia and hypoxia in the brain. In order to avoid the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, it is recommended that the patient's family send the patient to the hospital for a detailed examination in time.

It is recommended that the patient's family pay attention to the patient's surrounding environment. While keeping the home warm, they should also pay attention to indoor air circulation. Sometimes stagnant indoor air, especially in cold weather, can make people fall asleep easily, so indoor ventilation is still relatively important.

Many elderly people suffer from varying degrees of hypertension. For patients with very unstable blood pressure, antihypertensive drugs are basically never put down. Hypertension can also affect our cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems.

In addition, patients should go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible to clarify the cause of hypokalemia, and actively treat the primary disease to reduce or stop the continued loss of potassium. If patients need to take potassium-excreting diuretics for a long time due to medical conditions, potassium supplements can be added as appropriate. At the same time, blood potassium should be monitored regularly to prevent the occurrence of hypokalemia.

Starting with diet is a relatively safe and effective method. Eat more potassium-rich foods, especially fruits and vegetables. Fruits rich in potassium include bananas, strawberries, citrus, grapes, grapefruit, watermelon, etc. Vegetables such as spinach, yam, edamame, amaranth, and onion are also rich in potassium. Soybeans, mung beans, broad beans, kelp, seaweed, yellow croaker, chicken, milk, cornmeal, etc. also contain a certain amount of potassium. Various fruit juices, especially orange juice, are also rich in potassium.

To sum up, mental stress will aggravate high blood pressure. As long as the medication is used correctly, blood pressure will come down. I hope this can be helpful to you and that I can do the corresponding prevention and treatment work.
