Nausea, headache, the elderly should pay attention to the possibility of hypertension.

　　Hypertension is one of the most common chronic diseases. Speaking of hypertension, it is almost a common disease that is inseparable from the elderly. The data shows that more than half of the elderly suffer from high blood pressure. The prevalence rate of people over 80 years old is close to 90%. Especially in winter, hypertension is high, especially in the elderly, and the incidence rate has increased significantly. According to experts from Beijing Emergency Center, this kind of rescue is the most effective when the elderly suddenly have high blood pressure.

　　It is understood that when the blood pressure of the elderly suddenly rises, it will be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, severe headache, palpitation, frequent urination and even blurred vision, which shows that the elderly have developed hypertension. At this time, the family should comfort the patient not to be nervous, stay in bed, take antihypertensive drugs in time, and take diuretics and sedatives.

　　In addition, patients with hypertension may be accompanied by cerebrovascular accidents, including headache and vomiting, and even consciousness disorder or limb paralysis. At this time, let the patient lie flat with his head tilted to one side, so as to avoid inhaling vomit into the airway when he is unconscious or vomiting violently, and then dial 120 emergency number, which is one of the measures for the treatment of hypertension attack in the elderly.

　　It is worth reminding that hypertensive patients are prone to angina pectoris, even myocardial infarction and acute heart failure after fatigue or excitement. If the patient suddenly has palpitation, shortness of breath, sitting and breathing, cyanosis of mouth and lips, physical activity failure, precordial pain, chest tightness, and extends to the neck, left shoulder and back or upper limbs, pale face and cold sweat, the possibility of acute left heart failure should be considered. Family members should tell patients to hang their legs, take a seat, inhale oxygen in time if they have an oxygen bag, and call the emergency number quickly.

　　Finally, experts from 120 Beijing Emergency Center remind everyone that winter is the high incidence period of hypertension in the elderly, so you should follow the doctor’s advice and take medicine on time to avoid strenuous exercise and emotional excitement. Moreover, we can’t ignore the physical and mental changes of the elderly in our lives. Many elderly people are under great pressure, which will easily lead to physical problems and diseases.
