Everyone knows that hypertension is the leading disease in China, and it is very common in our daily lives. Therefore, hypertension is not unfamiliar to me. But recently, I have heard the term 'H-type hypertension' frequently, which I think everyone is quite unfamiliar with. I feel that this term is too medical and proprietary, and I have no understanding of it at all. Although that's the case, due to the recent increase in the frequency of this term, H-type hypertension will definitely quickly attract the attention of the medical community, as people in the medical community know that its appearance has increased the risk of stroke in China. So, what are the symptoms of H-type hypertension?
Firstly, let's understand what H-type hypertension is. It refers to patients who have both hypertension and high blood homocysteine (HCY) symptoms, which is a type of hypertension. In fact, the majority of hypertensive patients in our country have H-type hypertension, specifically hyperhomocysteinemia. Homocysteine is originally a metabolic product, but if its content is too high in the blood, it will enhance platelet aggregation and lead to the formation of blood clots and infarcts; More seriously, it can also cause damage and hardening of the endothelium of blood vessels, leading to bleeding and the formation of blood clots. These damages to blood vessels are clearly direct and can be seen to be very fatal.
This disease is very scary, but most of us don't know much about it. So what we can do now is to understand some of the symptoms of H-type hypertension to detect and treat it in a timely manner, and avoid serious tragedies. When you notice symptoms of hypertension, it is best to go to the hospital for a urine test to determine if it is H-type. If the H-type hypertension is not severe, urine tests and kidney biopsies will show mild lesions in the glomeruli, and all nephrotic syndrome may be symptoms of H-type hypertension; If it is severe H-type hypertension, you will be detected with symptoms such as nephritis syndrome, diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis, crescentic glomerulonephritis, or progressive renal dysfunction; Perhaps when there are no surface symptoms, a urine test may show proteinuria or hematuria to tell you. So in order to prevent this disease, it is better to go to the hospital for more examinations.
In addition, H-type hypertension has become more frequent recently, so there must be a reason for it. Firstly, genetic factors cannot be ruled out; The second one is related to diet, which may be a long-term high sodium and low potassium diet; The third one is related to the spirit, which may be due to frequent stimulation, long-term tension, and high stress; The fourth is also closely related to obesity; The fifth oral contraceptive pill can also cause H-type hypertension.
The principles and methods of preventing H-type hypertension should be similar to those of preventing ordinary hypertension. In short, the first step is to pay attention to diet. Here, it is recommended to "have a reasonable diet and live a healthy life". As for what I eat, I should pay more attention in my daily life and eat more fresh vegetables. If possible, try to eat them raw, as this can prevent high blood sugar; In addition to diet, some medications can also be used to lower blood pressure, and taking more folic acid supplements is also recommended; Pay attention to good habits in daily life, and have a regular schedule for daily routines; Try to lose weight when you have free time!
