High blood pressure is a common disease in life

Many people need to take antihypertensive drugs for a long time

to control the condition

But some foods are used with blood pressure medications

May affect the efficacy of the drug

It can even worsen the condition

01

Taking blood pressure medication, these 4 foods should be eaten sparingly

High-salt foods: Studies have shown that excessive sodium intake is one of the main causes of high blood pressure. If the daily sodium intake increases by 0~0 grams, the systolic blood pressure can increase by 0.0~0.0 mm Hg, which will increase the burden on the heart and kidneys, and further cause sodium excretion disorders, thus making the blood pressure higher and forming a vicious circle.

Sweets: Free sugars in high-sugar foods can induce hyperglycemia, which directly damages vascular endothelial cells, causing vasoconstriction and increased blood pressure. At the same time, excessive sugar can also easily cause obesity and increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

High-fat foods: Long-term intake of high-fat foods can lead to dyslipidemia, increase blood viscosity, and force blood pressure to rise in order to send blood to the distal ends. In addition, fat is deposited in the blood vessel wall, which can easily cause atherosclerosis, which will further increase blood pressure and affect the effect of antihypertensive drugs.

Stimulating foods: Caffeinated foods such as coffee and strong tea can stimulate the sympathetic nervous system, resulting in increased heart rate and blood pressure, which affects the efficacy of antihypertensive drugs.

02

Taking blood pressure medication, these 2 foods should be avoided

Milk: Milk is easy to form a covering film on the surface of the drug, which obviously affects the release and absorption of some drugs; The calcium and magnesium ions in milk can also react with some drugs to form insoluble substances and reduce the efficacy of drugs. It is recommended to take the medicine and drink milk at least 1 hours apart.

Grapefruit: The ingredients in grapefruit will prolong the degradation time of the drug, reduce the excretion of the drug, speed up the absorption of the drug in the intestine, increase the concentration of the drug in the blood, increase the side effects of the drug, and easily cause adverse reactions such as hypotension.

High blood pressure in cold weather

Should I increase the amount of blood pressure medication?

Blood pressure fluctuates seasonally, generally high in autumn and winter, low in spring and summer. Patients with hypertension should strengthen blood pressure monitoring, take medication according to the doctor's instructions, do not change or stop medication according to feeling, and do not adjust the dose without permission.

For those whose blood pressure rises significantly in winter, the type and dose of antihypertensive drugs can be scientifically adjusted under the guidance of a doctor.
