1. Adjustment of living habits
The elderly women who have given birth need to pay more attention to the adjustment of life habits on the issue of blood pressure. First of all, we should try to reduce salt intake, because too much salt will lead to increased blood pressure. Secondly, we should control our weight appropriately to avoid obesity. Obesity is one of the main risk factors for hypertension. In addition, a balanced diet is also very important. You should eat more vegetables, fruits, whole grains and foods rich in unsaturated fats, and reduce alcohol consumption and caffeine intake.
In addition to diet adjustment, moderate increase in exercise can also help reduce blood pressure. According to the doctor's advice, take proper exercise, such as walking, swimming, shadowboxing and other aerobic exercises. At the same time, do not sit or stand still for a long time, and pay attention to rest and relaxation.
In addition, quitting smoking and avoiding second-hand smoke are also very important. Research shows that smoking will lead to increased blood pressure and increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, it is very necessary for the elderly women to give up smoking.
2. Drug treatment and monitoring
For elderly women who give birth, if their blood pressure is too high and cannot be controlled through lifestyle adjustment, they may need to take medication. This needs to be done under the guidance of doctors, and appropriate antihypertensive drugs should be selected according to individual conditions. Common antihypertensive drugs include calcium channel blockers, ACE inhibitors, ARBs, etc.
During drug treatment, blood pressure needs to be monitored regularly, recorded and communicated with doctors in a timely manner. If the blood pressure is well controlled, the dosage of drugs can be appropriately reduced, but it must be carried out under the guidance of a doctor. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the side effects of drugs. In case of discomfort or adverse reactions, the doctor should be informed in time so as to adjust the treatment plan.
It is worth noting that during pregnancy, the use of drugs requires special caution. If you plan to become pregnant, you should inform the doctor in advance so as to adjust the medication plan.
3. Relief of psychological pressure
Older women who give birth usually bear more psychological pressure, which also has a certain impact on the control of blood pressure. Therefore, relieving psychological pressure is very important for lowering blood pressure.
You can help relieve psychological pressure by taking psychological counseling or psychological counseling courses. At the same time, keeping close communication and exchange with family and friends, sharing their feelings and troubles, also helps to reduce stress. In addition, you can try some ways to relax and adjust your mood, such as listening to music, watching movies, doing yoga, etc.
4. Regular physical examination and prenatal examination
Regular physical examination and prenatal examination are particularly important for elderly women who have given birth. Through regular physical examination, you can timely understand your physical condition, including changes in blood pressure, blood sugar, blood lipids and other indicators.
During the prenatal examination, the doctor will further monitor the blood pressure and conduct necessary examinations and evaluations. If the blood pressure is found to be on the high side, the doctor may adjust the treatment plan or make further inspection. At the same time, doctors will also provide nutrition guidance and life advice to help control blood pressure and promote healthy pregnancy.
