Isifinyezo

Uyini umfutho wegazi?

Umfutho wegazi ungamandla egazi lakho acindezela izindonga zemithambo yakho. Njalo lapho inhliziyo yakho ishaya, ipompa igazi emithanjeni yegazi. Umfutho wegazi lakho uphakeme kakhulu lapho inhliziyo yakho ishaya, iphampa igazi. Lokhu kubizwa nge-systolic pressure. Lapho inhliziyo yakho iphumule, phakathi kokushaya, umfutho wegazi lakho wehla. Lokhu kubizwa nge-diastolic pressure.

Ukufundwa kwengcindezi yegazi lakho kusebenzisa lezi zinombolo ezimbili. Imvamisa inombolo ye-systolic iza ngaphambi noma ngaphezu kwenombolo ye-diastolic. Isibonelo, i-120/80 isho i-systolic engu-120 ne-diastolic engu-80.

Itholakala kanjani i-high blood pressure?

Umfutho wegazi ophezulu ngokuvamile awunazimpawu. Ngakho-ke okuwukuphela kwendlela yokuthola ukuthi unayo yini ukuthola ukuhlolwa kwegazi njalo kumhlinzeki wakho wezokunakekelwa kwempilo. Umhlinzeki wakho uzosebenzisa igeji, i-stethoscope noma inzwa ye-elekthronikhi, kanye nesigaxa somfutho wegazi. Uzothatha ukufundwa okubili noma okungaphezulu kuma-aphoyintimenti ahlukile ngaphambi kokwenza ukuxilongwa.

Ezinganeni nasentsheni, umhlinzeki wezokunakekelwa kwempilo uqhathanisa ukufundwa kwengcindezi yegazi nalokho okujwayelekile kwezinye izingane ezineminyaka efanayo, ubude nobulili obufanayo.

Yiziphi izinhlobo ezahlukahlukene zomfutho wegazi ophakeme?

Kunezinhlobo ezimbili ezinkulu zomfutho wegazi ophakeme: umfutho wegazi ophakeme nowesibili.

• Okuyinhloko, noma kubalulekile, umfutho wegazi ophakeme uhlobo oluvame kakhulu lomfutho wegazi ophezulu. Kubantu abaningi abathola lolu hlobo lwegazi, lukhula ngokuhamba kwesikhathi njengoba ukhula.
• Okwesibili umfutho wegazi ophakeme ubangelwa esinye isimo sezokwelapha noma ukusetshenziswa kwemithi ethile. Imvamisa iba ngcono ngemuva kokuphatha leso simo noma ukuyeka ukuphuza imithi oyibangelayo.

Kungani ngidinga ukukhathazeka ngomfutho wegazi ophakeme?

Lapho umfutho wegazi lakho uhlala uphakeme ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, kubangela inhliziyo ukuthi impompe ngamandla futhi isebenze isikhathi esengeziwe, okungaholela ezinkingeni ezinkulu zempilo njengokuhlaselwa yisifo senhliziyo, isifo sohlangothi, ukwehluleka kwenhliziyo, nokwehluleka kwezinso.

Yiziphi izindlela zokwelapha umfutho wegazi ophakeme?

Ukwelashwa kwengcindezi ephezulu yegazi kufaka phakathi izinguquko zokuphila ezinempilo yenhliziyo nemithi.

Uzosebenzisana nomhlinzeki wakho ukuze kutholakale uhlelo lokwelashwa. Kungafaka kuphela ushintsho lwendlela yokuphila. Lezi zinguquko, njengokudla okunempilo yenhliziyo nokuzivocavoca umzimba, kungasebenza kakhulu. Kepha kwesinye isikhathi ushintsho alulawuli noma lwehlise umfutho wegazi ophakeme. Ngemuva kwalokho ungadinga ukuthatha umuthi. Kunezinhlobo ezahlukene zemithi yomfutho wegazi. Abanye abantu badinga ukuthatha izinhlobo ezingaphezu kweyodwa.

Uma umfutho wegazi ophakeme ubangelwa esinye isimo sezokwelapha noma umuthi, ukuselapha leso simo noma ukumisa umuthi kunganciphisa umfutho wegazi.
