Yini ebala njengokucindezela kwegazi nokujwayelekile kwebesifazane?
Abangu-50 million baseMelika banomfutho wegazi ophakeme. Abesifazane asebekhulile cishe banokuthuthukisa ukucindezelwa kwegazi eliphezulu. Ngaphezu kwengxenye yabo bonke abesifazane abangaphezu kweminyaka engu-60 banakho.
Abanye abasengozini enkulu yokuthuthukisa ingcindezi yegazi bangama-Afrika aseMelika, labo abakhuluphele ngokweqile, banomlando womndeni wokucindezelwa kwegazi, nalabo abacindezelayo ngokwegazi ngokwemvelo.
Yikuphi Ngokuqondile Ukucindezelwa Kwegazi Eliphakeme?
Igazi liphonswa yinhliziyo ngokusebenzisa izitsha zokuletha oksijeni nezakhi emzimbeni. Ukucindezelwa kwegazi kuyisandla segazi ngokumelene nezindonga zamanzi. Ukuphakama kwengcindezi, inhliziyo iyasebenza kakhulu.
Ukucindezelwa kwegazi kuvame ukukhuphuka phakathi nangosuku. Uma likhuphuka futhi lihlala liphakeme, khona-ke liphakeme kakhulu kwegazi. Igama lezokwelapha liwumfutho wegazi ophezulu.
Ukuhlolwa okulula kwenza ukucindezeleka kwegazi. Isebenzisa isitsha esingenasisindo esizungeze ingalo. Uma ingcindezi iphezulu, uhlolo luzophindaphindiwe ngezinsuku ezimbalwa ukuze uthole ukufundwa okunembile . Mhlawumbe uye waba nokuhlolwa okunjalo ngokuvakashela kudokotela wakho.
Ukulinganisa Ukucindezeleka Kwegazi Eliphakeme
Ukuhlolwa kunikeza izinombolo ezimbili: Umfutho we-systolic ukucindezelwa kwegazi ezitsheni njengoba inhliziyo ishaya. Umfutho we-diastolic ukucindezelwa kwegazi phakathi kwezinhliziyo. Izinombolo ngokuvamile zibhalwa njengengxenyana ne-systolic ngenhla noma ngakwesobunxele.
Isibonelo ngama-120/80 mm Hg (amamitha ayi-mercury), umfutho wegazi omdala ojwayelekile.
Zombili izinombolo zibalwa. Umfutho wegazi wakho uphakeme uma ingcindezi ye-systolic ingu-140 noma ngenhla, noma ukucindezela kwe-diastolic kungu-90 noma ngenhla, noma kokubili kukhona phezulu.
"Umbulali Othulile"
Uma ungazi umfutho wegazi lakho, kufanele uthathwe.
Labo abane-high blood pressure ngokuvamile abazizwa begula. Eqinisweni, ukucindezelwa kwegazi okuvame ukubizwa ngokuthi "umbulali othulile ," ngoba kungabangela izimpawu isikhathi eside. Kodwa engaphenduliwe, ingalimaza izinso futhi iphakamise amathuba okushaywa, isifo senhliziyo noma ezinye izinhliziyo zenhliziyo (izinkinga zenhliziyo negazi). Kubangele ukuhluleka kwenhliziyo kwabesifazane besithathu . Ukuhluleka kwenhliziyo yisimo esibi lapho inhliziyo ingakwazi ukuhlinzeka umzimba ngokufanele ngegazi.
Abesifazane abanesifo sikashukela kanye nomfutho wegazi ophezulu basengozini enkulu kakhulu yokushaywa yisifo sokushaya isifo, izinhliziyo nezinso kunelabo abanegazi eliphakeme kuphela.
Ingabe Ulawula?
Ungase umangale uma ufunda ukuthi abesifazane abaningi bathatha izidakamizwa zegazi kodwa banengcindezi ephakeme yegazi. Lokhu kuyiqiniso ikakhulukazi kwabesifazane asebekhulile.
Kungani? Kunezizathu eziningi. Abanye besifazane bangase bangathathi izidakamizwa zabo njengoba kunqunywe, noma ngabe imali engalungile noma ngezikhathi ezingalungile. Kwabanye, isidakamizwa angeke sikwehlise ukucindezelwa kwegazi ngokwanele.
Ukuze uvimbele ukushaywa yisifo, ukuhlasela kwenhliziyo noma ukwehluleka kwenhliziyo, ukucindezelwa kwegazi kufanele kulawulwe phansi kwezingu-140/90.
Ngakho qiniseka ukuthi ulawula ukucindezela kwegazi eliphezulu. Khuluma nodokotela wakho bese ubuza ngezinga lakho lokucindezela kwegazi.
Uma uphakeme kakhulu, cela mayelana nokulungisa izidakamizwa zakho nokwenza izinguquko zokuphila ezizoletha ukucindezela kwegazi lakho ngaphansi kuka-140/90.
Ukuthatha Ukulawula
Kulabo besifazane abanomfutho wegazi ophezulu, abayisithathu kwabangu-4 bayazi ukuthi banakho, kodwa nokho abangaphansi kokungu-1 kwabangu-3 bayilawula.
Bonke abesifazane bangakwazi futhi kufanele bathathe izinyathelo zokulawula ukucindezelwa kwegazi eliphezulu. Lokhu kubaluleke kakhulu kubesifazane abanesifo senhliziyo. Lapho ingcindezi yegazi iyancipha, inhliziyo ayisebenzi kanzima. Abesifazane abaye bahlaselwa isifo senhliziyo cishe ngeke babe nomunye uma benciphisa ukucindezeleka kwegazi eliphezulu.
Ungakwazi ukulawula ukucindezeleka kwegazi ngalezi zinyathelo:
- Lishisa isisindo uma ukhuluphele kakhulu
- Yiba ngokomzimba
- Khetha ukudla okuphansi kasawoti kanye ne-sodium
- Nciphisa ukudla kwakho kotshwala
- Uma kunqunyiwe, thatha amaphilisi e-blood pressure
Lezi zinyathelo zokuphila zisiza futhi ukuvimbela ukucindezelwa kwegazi eliphezulu, ngakho bobabili wena nomndeni wakho ningabalandela ndawonye ngezinzuzo eziphilile.
