What is blood pressure
It takes a certain amount of pressure for a person's blood to be transported to all parts of the body, and this pressure is blood pressure. The lateral pressure of blood in the blood vessel on the wall of the blood vessel per unit area, i.e., the pressure. Since blood vessels are divided into arteries, capillaries, and veins, there are also arterial blood pressure, capillary pressure, and venous blood pressure. What is commonly referred to as blood pressure refers to arterial blood pressure.
Blood pressure is the pressure that acts on the walls of blood vessels as blood flows through blood vessels, and it is the driving force that pushes blood to flow in blood vessels.
Ventricular contraction, blood flows from the ventricles into the arteries, when the pressure of blood on the arteries is highest, called systolic blood pressure (SBP).
Ventricular diastosis, arterial blood vessels elastically retract, blood continues to flow forward slowly, but blood pressure drops, and the pressure is called diastolic blood pressure (DBP).
Diagnostic criteria for hypertension in modern medicine
Systolic blood pressure (commonly referred to as high pressure) ≥ 140 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure (commonly referred to as low pressure) ≥ 90 mmHg.
Generally, normal blood pressure is high pressure of 90~140mmHg and low pressure of 60~90mmHg.
If the high pressure does not continue to exceed 140 mmHg, it is not considered hypertension, and if it does not cause visceral dysfunction, it is not considered hypertension.
Blood pressure and hypertension
We believe that hypertension is the result of the imharmony of various organs in the body and is also a secondary cause of the decline in internal organ function. To understand high blood pressure, you need to start by understanding blood pressure, which is the pressure of blood flowing in the blood vessels on the wall of the pipe, just like the pressure of water in the water pipe of tap water on the water pipe.
Stress determines blood pressure
1. The size of the pipe diameter, the smaller the pipe diameter, the greater the pressure.
2. The amount of blood flowing in the blood vessels; The greater the amount of blood, the greater the likely pressure, and the lower the flow, the lower the pressure.
3. The speed of flow, the faster the speed, the greater the pressure, the smaller the speed, the less the pressure.
The size of the tube, the amount of blood and the speed of the flow are the key factors that affect blood pressure.
So when we treat the so-called high blood pressure, we need to address these three key issues, and blood pressure is just a symptom.
Blood pressure fluctuates, blood pressure is very closely related to emotions, if you are emotionally unstable, you get angry today, or you are happy all of a sudden, your blood pressure will rise.
Because at this time, the heart activity is accelerated, the speed of blood flowing out is relatively fast, and as soon as you are happy, the blood vessels are constricted, and when the mood is stable, the blood vessels are relaxed, the flow rate is relatively slow, and the blood pressure is relatively stable.
Changes in body position and exercise can also cause changes in blood pressure. When we lie down, the body relaxes, the blood vessels are dilated, the blood supply is relatively gentle, and the blood pressure is a little lower; After waking up, activities and exercises will cause blood vessels to constrict, and blood pressure will rise a little.
Blood pressure is inextricably linked to itself
Blood pressure will increase when the body needs to exercise and move, or when mood changes, the body will actively increase blood pressure in order to protect some important organs.
Therefore, for blood pressure control, first, maintaining a stable mood is the most important; Second, in fact, everyone's blood pressure is different, some people need a higher blood pressure to maintain their own life state, and some people need a lower blood pressure to maintain normal operation.
In fact, the so-called treatment of high blood pressure is not right, but should focus on adjusting blood pressure and making it suitable for your state.
Therefore, adjusting our blood pressure is not a treatment, but a state that best matches your body.
No blood pressure standard is completely unchanged, and the standard for high blood pressure has changed several times since it was formulated. I think the best blood pressure is actually the most suitable for everyone's physical condition.
The human body comes with its own blood pressure regulator
Neiguan acupoint
Neiguan acupoints are acupuncture points on the pericardial meridian, which can change the contraction and relaxation of blood vessels, and have a health care effect on many kinds of heart diseases, not only to adjust blood pressure. The first health care acupoint of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Taichong acupoint
The Taichong acupoint is the acupuncture point of the liver meridian, and it is best used in conjunction with the Neiguan acupoint to adjust blood pressure, especially because of headaches, dizziness, or tinnitus caused by high blood pressure.
Bridge bow point
The head is turned to one side, and the bulging tendon is called the bridge bow, which is pushed down from top to bottom by hand (you can apply a little lubricating oil or plaster), and the effect is particularly good for acute hypertension (headache and eye swelling caused by a sudden increase in blood pressure), and the blood pressure will generally drop in 2~3 minutes.
