Ukubhema kunomthelela omkhulu ku-hypertension. Ngemva kokubhema ugwayi, izinga lokushaya kwenhliziyo kweziguli ezinomfutho wegazi ophezulu lizokhuphuka izikhathi ezingaba ngu-5-20 ngomzuzu, kanti umfutho wegazi we-systolic nawo uzokwenyuka cishe ngo-10-25mmHg. Ukubhema isikhathi eside nokukhulu, okungukuthi, ukubhema ugwayi ongu-30-40 ngosuku, kungabangela ukufingqa okuqhubekayo kwemithambo emincane.
Ukubhema kusobala ikakhulukazi ngomfutho wegazi womuntu ebusuku, futhi ukubhema isikhathi eside kuzokwandisa kakhulu umfutho wegazi ebusuku. Umfutho wegazi ophakeme ebusuku uzodala i-hypertrophy ye-left ventricular, ngakho ukubhema akuthinti nje umfutho wegazi kodwa kuholela ezinkingeni zenhliziyo. Kungani ukubhema kuphakamisa umfutho wegazi? Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi ugwayi uqukethe izinto eziningi eziyingozi, njenge-nicotine. I-Nicotine ingashukumisa izinzwa ezimaphakathi kanye nezinzwa ezinozwela, futhi ikhuthaze indlala ye-adrenal ukuba ikhiphe inani elikhulu le-catecholamine, engasheshisa ukushaya kwenhliziyo, ibambe imithambo yegazi, futhi inyuse umfutho wegazi.
Ucwaningo lwabantu abangaba ngu-5000 abalandelwa iminyaka engu-14.5 bathola ukuthi umfutho wegazi ophakeme wabantu abaneminyaka ephakathi kanye nasebekhulile ababebhema isikhathi eside futhi babebhema kwakuyizikhathi ezingu-1.15 kanye ne-1.08 ephakeme kunaleyo yabantu abangabhemi abaneminyaka ephakathi nasebekhulile, ngokulandelana. Yiqiniso, lesi silinganiso asiphezulu kakhulu, ngakho lolu cwaningo lukholelwa ukuthi ukubhema kuyisici esiyingozi esisesilinganisweni somfutho wegazi ophezulu.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, kukhona nedatha ekhombisa ukuthi iziguli ezinomfutho wegazi ophakeme ezinomkhuba wokubhema, ngenxa yokuncipha kokuzwela emithini ye-antihypertensive, ukwelashwa kwe-antihypertensive akulula ukuthola ukusebenza kahle okwanelisayo, futhi kufanele kwandiswe umthamo.
Kuyabonakala ukuthi ukubhema kunomthelela omkhulu kumfutho wegazi ophakeme.
Ngakho-ke, labo abanomkhuba wokubhema ikakhulukazi ezigulini ezinomfutho wegazi ophezulu bayelulekwa ukuba bawuyeke lo mkhuba omubi kusenesikhathi.
Uma ungacabangi ukuthi ukubhema kuyingozi empilweni yakho, ungakala umfutho wegazi lakho ngeyakho sebenzisa ama-monitor omfutho wegazi ekhaya ngemva kokubhema ukufakazela umbono wakho.
