" Winter " influence on hypertensive patients

Hypertension can be a general water exercise. This is because physical contact with cold water when the skin vasoconstriction, blood pressure slightly elevated, only a very short time; soon epidermal vessels on the expanding again, lots of blood flow to the skin of the blood vessels, the blood pressure, rather than not contact with cold water is also slightly lower. Long-term cold exercise, the blood vessels in the body after repeated expansion and contraction of the training, but strengthen the elasticity, helps to regulate blood pressure.

Generally, patients with hypertension can still under physician supervision to participate in sports activities. However, winter swimming in cold environment of a sports body in cold water, strong cold stimulation, the skin blood vessels have a sharp contraction, forcing the blood vessels of the skin blood flow in visceral and deep tissue, which can cause blood pressure to rise temporarily. Hypertension patient blood pressure was originally, and with different degrees of hardening of the arteries, especially the diastolic blood pressure often in 100 millimeter of mercury column above, that the elasticity of blood vessels to reduce blood pressure, such as in winter can temporarily increase further, it is likely to occur cerebrovascular hemorrhage, stroke, coma, and even death. Therefore, patients with hypertension should not be a strong cold stimulation of winter swimming exercise. But hypertension patients can be a general water exercise. This is because physical contact with cold water when the skin vasoconstriction, blood pressure slightly elevated, only a very short time; soon epidermal vessels on the expanding again, lots of blood flow to the skin of the blood vessels, the blood pressure, rather than not contact with cold water is also slightly lower. Long-term cold exercise, the blood vessels in the body after repeated expansion and contraction of the training, but strengthen the elasticity, helps to regulate blood pressure.

Hypertension patient cold exercise best form is cold water body. This is a cold water less frequent contact with the skin form of exercise, stimulus intensity, hypertensive patient body easy to accept. At the beginning, the water temperature should not be too low, then according to the physical tolerance degree is reduced gradually, the technique should be light, force should be uniform, the first wipe the upper body, and then, put on clothes sit down and wipe the lower body. Never bow, bow and up strong actions. Hypertension accompanied by be dizzy, before washing your face with cold water, then cold water wash. Insist on a period of time, the symptoms improved after, reoccupy cold water body.

If it follows a minor hypertensive patients, depending on the circumstances, to participate in appropriate winter swimming exercise. A juvenile hypertension, reason is that sexual maturity in some endocrine changes and the period of heart development is added fast have a certain relationship. This type of hypertension is mainly manifested in the systolic pressure, up to 140-150 millimeter of mercury, and diastolic blood pressure is not high, generally do not have dizziness, headache and other bad feelings, such youth need not be a contraindication to attend. But the winter swimming exercise intensity should be reduced. Through scientific and moderate winter swimming exercise, blood pressure does not rise, still can make it back to normal.

Another is the excessive tension hypertension, this type of hypertension in general due to overwork, mental stress, fatigue caused by. This not only increased systolic hypertension too, can be more than 140 or even 150 millimeter of mercury column, elevated diastolic blood pressure, up to 90-100 millimeter mercury column. This phenomenon through to reduce the working pressure, the reasonable arrangement of life, to ensure adequate sleep and rest, with excessive tension condition disappear, blood pressure can be back to normal, this type of hypertension can continue to attend the winter swimming exercise, but there should be a clear diagnosis, seek medical advice.
