With the explosion in the number of motor vehicles and cardiovascular disease is young change, many drivers have different degree of hypertension, even more so and the risk of heart disease, stroke, died while driving.
When driving, the high concentration of attention, especially on the freeway, sustained tension can stimulate the sympathetic nerve activity, resulting in increased blood pressure, vascular spasm contraction, reduced blood flow increased myocardial ischemia and hypoxia. Road congestion, the mood of people easily agitated, overtaking, encountered illegal, not anger from the heart, blood poured into the heart, blood pressure suddenly rises, at this point I am afraid to get up early for the antihypertensive drugs are pressed by the rise of blood pressure. In addition, in cars, a lot of people depend entirely on the car, and even go out to buy a bag of Yandu drive, walk and even surpass the 500 step. If things go on like this, the legs into the basic " disuse " state, prone to leg aging, more serious is the lower limb blood flow to the heart is lack of power, the heart needs to spend more effort to complete the blood circulation of lower limbs. Driving is due to always maintain a kind of posture, slow blood flow are particularly vulnerable to long thrombosis.

Second, in the poor road conditions, road traffic to avoid when angry, can sing, listen to soothing music. Sing out loud can enhance gas exchange, providing more oxygen to the heart and lungs. In the traffic jam is serious, bad air circulation place, opened a small window, a large number of tail gas emission of the harmful gases may be on the vascular irritation, causing vascular spasm, induced heart disease. In addition, the number of weekly driving time control drive, preferably not more than 3 days. If in the car on the way there dizziness, chest tightness and other symptoms, to timely stop the vehicle in the safety zone, dial 120 for help.
