What are the three highs of physical examination

The three highs in physical examination usually refer to hypertension, hyperglycemia, and hyperlipidemia, and abnormalities in these three indicators are the core manifestations of metabolic syndrome.

1. Hypertension

Hypertension refers to a resting systolic blood pressure exceeding 140 mmHg or a diastolic blood pressure exceeding 90 mmHg. Long term uncontrolled hypertension may lead to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular damage, increasing the risk of stroke, coronary heart disease, and other conditions. Reduce sodium intake in daily life, avoid emotional excitement, and regularly monitor blood pressure. If diagnosed with hypertension, antihypertensive drugs such as amlodipine besylate tablets and valsartan capsules can be used according to medical advice.

2. Hyperglycemia. Typical symptoms include excessive drinking, frequent urination, and weight loss. It is recommended to control the intake of refined carbohydrates, increase dietary fiber, and exercise appropriately. When necessary, hypoglycemic drugs such as metformin hydrochloride tablets and acarbose tablets should be used under the guidance of a doctor.

3. Hyperlipidemia

Hyperlipidemia is characterized by total cholesterol exceeding 5.2 millimoles per liter or low-density lipoprotein cholesterol exceeding 3.4 millimoles per liter. It is closely related to atherosclerosis and may cause angina pectoris and myocardial infarction. It is necessary to limit the intake of animal organs and fried foods, and increase the intake of deep-sea fish. Atorvastatin calcium tablets and fenofibrate capsules are commonly used in clinical practice to regulate blood lipids. There is a synergistic hazard between the three highs, and it is recommended to test blood pressure, blood sugar, and blood lipids at least once a year. Maintain a low salt, low sugar, and low-fat diet in daily life, engage in 150 minutes of moderate intensity exercise per week, and avoid staying up late and smoking. If the indicators are abnormal, seek medical attention in a timely manner and develop personalized intervention plans under the guidance of a specialist. Do not adjust the drug dosage on your own.
