Chapter 577 Blood Pressure Problem
It didn’t take long for this tall honeysuckle to be planted in the yard and officially became a member of Zhang An’s family.
But this is not over yet, because its branches have grown very long, and Zhang An is not willing to cut them off.
After all, it was brought down from the mountain intact just for this beautiful crown. If it were cut down now, it would take even more time for it to grow back again.
Under the conditions that can guarantee its survival, Zhang An definitely wants to keep it as it is now, so that as long as the tree is rooted, it can continue to grow and bloom.
So although the roots of the tree have been planted now, we still have to spend some time to fix the long crown on the courtyard wall. On the one hand, this is to prevent the tree from falling around, and on the other hand, After it continues to grow in the future, it can cover the courtyard wall according to Zhang An's idea.
“Hey, it’s only early in the morning and your family is already planting trees.”
When it was almost completed, Zhang Jianwen came back from the entrance of the village and turned in specifically to call Zhang An.
"This was dug up yesterday. I had some free time today so I had to plant it early. The sun should be very strong today. I'm afraid it will be killed if I try too hard."
While Zhang An was talking to Zhang Jianwen, he tied the honeysuckle branches to the wall with zip ties.
"It's okay from the looks of it. I didn't think so when I heard Zhang Ping say it yesterday. But today it's still quite big. As long as it's planted alive, I'm afraid the honeysuckle picked from this tree will be enough for a year. "
Zhang Jianwen walked around the newly planted honeysuckle tree for a long time, looked at it carefully, and nodded with great satisfaction.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it all in a year. When I didn't dig it yesterday, there were a lot of honeysuckle on it, densely packed. When I pick it off later, I'll give some to you, uncle."< br>
Judging from the number of flowers this tree originally bloomed, there would be quite a few if only half of them were picked at a time and dried in the sun, not to mention that they could be picked several times a year.
In addition, Zhang An will water it with space spring water in the future, and there may be more honeysuckles blooming. There will definitely be a lot more honeysuckle than Zhang An estimated.
“That’s fine, it saves me having to go to the mountain to pick it myself.”
Zhang Jianwen smiled and did not refuse. Even though this place is a good place for tea production, there are many tea-producing places in the village. In addition to tea leaves, people also use honeysuckle and prunella vulgaris to prepare tea.
Because in the past, people often came to these mountain villages to collect fresh tea leaves. At that time, the conditions were not good, and everyone wanted to save some money. They were not willing to drink the tea leaves they picked, and almost all were sold to tea leaves. A dealer, subsidizing the family.
After selling the tea, what do I drink? These are the honeysuckle, prunella vulgaris and other herbs in the mountains.
So until now, many people in Changqing Village, regardless of men, women, old and young, have developed the habit of drinking these.
Even some old people of Zhang Jianwen's age seem to be inseparable from it. Every summer and autumn, they have to go to the mountains to collect it.
But in Zhang An's opinion, this is also good. Whether it is honeysuckle or prunella vulgaris, these things are very helpful to the human body. After all, they are all Chinese herbal medicines that can be used as medicine.
Although many people look down upon them now, even if the Prunella vulgaris can be seen everywhere in the fields or on the roadsides, in a few decades, when you want to find them again, even in the countryside, you may no longer be able to find them. So easy.
"By the way, you have a lot of work to do here. Let's set up the meeting place on the grain drying field first, and you came here by yourself."
Today at the health center in the town The people who wanted to come down had already been postponed for a day yesterday, so early in the morning Zhang Jianwen started to lead people to set up the venue at the grain drying field.
Originally, he was going to call Zhang An to help, but when he saw that he had something to do, he stopped talking and told him to come over later.
"Okay, uncle, you guys should be busy first. I'll finish here and come over in a while."
After the crown of the tree was fixed on the wall, Zhang An picked up the hoe again and started working on the tree. A water circle was dug around the roots.
After all, as the old saying goes, a person will live and a tree will die.
The most taboo thing for a tree that has grown so big is to move around.
So he wanted to quickly water the newly planted honeysuckle tree before the sun rose too high.
If you go further and wait for the sun to come up before watering again, it will only have the opposite effect.
"Xiao An, just do whatever you want. I'll find some bricks later and lay a circle around it."
Seeing Zhang An insisting on digging left and right "It's symmetrical," Zhang Jianguo said with some disdain.
Hearing what his father said, Zhang An, who had obsessive-compulsive disorder, felt uncomfortable looking at the circles of soil that were high in the east and low in the west, but he still did not continue the competition.
Throw down the hoe, return to the house, fill a bucket with fresh space spring water, and pour it down the roots of the tree.
It had just rained yesterday, and the soil underneath was still quite moist. I poured the bucket of water down and slowly swallowed it for a long time before it penetrated into the soil.
Zhang An has already done what he needs to do, and the only thing left is Honeysuckle’s own life.
If it can bear it, Zhang An will definitely give it a bucket of space spring water from time to time in this yard. It is no exaggeration to say that it is very popular and spicy.
If it can't carry it, then it can only be blamed on its bad luck and its inability to bear such overwhelming wealth.
By the time Zhang An finished packing and came to the grain drying field, a row of long wooden tables had been set up on the concrete dam.
At this moment, several people in white coats have come over and are placing things on the table.
Each table is similar, just a stethoscope, a mercury sphygmomanometer, a record book and a pen.
Compared with the medical teams of later generations who went to free clinics everywhere, they were basically a large group of people and fully equipped. This can only be described as rudimentary.
However, Zhang An felt that it was normal, because the medical conditions in this era were just like this. Besides, what we came to today was just a health center in a rural town, not a big hospital in a big city. The whole staff is already very good.
Before Zhang An walked to the front, he saw Zhang Jianwen walking towards him from the other side. Seeing this, Zhang An didn't feel that he was so proud, so he asked his uncle to come over and greet him.
Looking back, I found that Qiqi’s godfather was here.
Before Zhang Jianwen could take action, Zhang An walked up to the old man and took the small bamboo basket from his back.
At this time, not only many people came from Dongli Courtyard, but also many villagers from Changqing Village came over.
After all, in the surrounding villages, there is no such treatment as them, so everyone is very positive.
But now it's not just the old men and women in the village who are here, there are also many young people.
Even though Zhang Jianwen has said before, the main crowd today is people in their sixties, but they all like to come and join in the fun even if they have nothing to do. There are a total of six tables in the village office, but only five are occupied by people from the health center. The last empty table was left by Zhang Jianwen for Zhang and his party.
"Daozhang Zhang, I haven't seen you for a long time."
As I walked past, a doctor from the health center who looked about fifty years old stood up. Say hello to Zhang and his party.
"Hello, Doctor Tang, it's been a long time indeed, almost more than ten years."
Seeing this, Zhang and his party also stopped to respond. It seems that the two of them should We know each other.
This is not the time to reminisce about the past. After chatting with each other for a few words, everyone started to get down to business. After all, it was still morning, and the side of the grain drying field next to the village office was still shady.
So now, if you start earlier, you can also finish earlier, so as to save everyone from being exposed to the sun when it is shining in the sky.
“Come on, come on, everyone is lining up, waiting for our doctor to measure your blood pressure. If you feel uncomfortable, you can go to Daozhang Zhang for help after measuring your blood pressure.”< br>
Seeing that everyone at the health center was already in place, Zhang Jianwen stood up and shouted for everyone to start queuing.
Of course, in order to cause unnecessary trouble, he asked the people in the village to line up separately from those in the Dongli courtyard. Because there were many people in the village, they stood in three rows, while there were only three rows in the Dongli courtyard. Two rows.
Totaling up the two sides, there were a total of eighty or ninety people, which seemed like a lot, but when they were separated into five separate lines, it didn’t look like there were many.
Measuring blood pressure is a simple task, and the people at the health center are very skilled and got started quickly.
"Doctor, did you measure it wrong? When I measured it at the People's Hospital last year, it was still one hundred and fifty. Why is it only over one hundred and thirty now? How about helping me measure it again?"< br>
As soon as he finished measuring the first two, Zhang An heard an old lady from the Dongli courtyard raising a question.
High blood pressure is not as rampant these days as it was in later generations. It is rare to see people with 1,788, and around 14 is considered high blood pressure.
"Old lady, are you taking antihypertensive drugs now?"
The doctor responsible for measuring the old lady's blood pressure originally wanted to explain it to the old lady, but he should pay more attention later. What a problem.
But after the old lady said this, he hesitated a little, so he asked.
Although the time span from last year to today is relatively large, the high pressure is too different, unless it is due to taking antihypertensive drugs.
"No, you have to take this medicine all the time. Seeing that we don't have to do any work, the doctor said that we don't need to take it for now."
The old lady heard the question from the white coat and told the truth. answer.
After receiving the reply, Bai Daco was even more hesitant. He could actually lower his blood pressure so much without taking anti-hypertensive drugs. Could it be that he really measured it wrong?
"Old lady, I measured you again. It is indeed only one hundred and thirty-seven. Your blood pressure seems to have dropped."
So he measured the old lady again. He checked it again, but when he saw the data read on the mercury scale, he was confused.
“Ah, it’s gone down now? But I haven’t taken any medicine?”
The old lady was a little stunned when she heard what the doctor said. Not many people said this , can't this high blood pressure be reduced without taking medicine?
"How about this? Come over here and let Dr. Tang measure you again."
The doctor who took the old lady's blood pressure thinks it's okay? There was something wrong with her blood pressure monitor, so she asked the old lady to go to Dr. Tang next door to take a test.
Soon, Dr. Tang helped the old lady finish the measurement, and although the conclusion he came to was different from the previous one, it was still within the range of more than 130. The old lady's blood pressure had indeed dropped.
The old lady was no longer stunned at this time. After several twists and turns, she knew that the doctor had not measured him wrong, and her high blood pressure had really come down.
"Old lady, after you went to the hospital to measure your blood last year, have your living habits changed at all? Or is there any difference between your physical feeling during this period and your previous feeling? Can you tell me something?”
Originally I just took my blood pressure, but I didn’t expect that such a puzzling question would arise.
They came with a mission this time. Even if they encounter problems, they can't just push them aside.
As the oldest, most experienced and senior person in the health center, Dr. Tang could only continue to ask the old lady to see if he could find out the cause.
"Yes, yes. When I first went to the hospital last year, I often felt dizzy and couldn't sleep at night. I would feel dizzy even if I squatted on the ground and stood up. But it seems that since we moved to After living here for a while, I don’t feel dizzy anymore and sleep soundly at night. Now I squat on the ground and I don’t feel dizzy when I stand up. Because of this, I feel comfortable living here. We will continue to stay here this year. Live here, next year too.”
When the old lady heard what the older Doctor Tang asked her, she thought about it carefully for a while, and then said it like a treasure trove.
"Oh? You only felt better after moving here from home, right? You remember correctly, right?"
Dr. Tang's eyes widened when he heard the old lady's answer. Liang, as if he had caught something.
"Doctor, I can't remember wrongly. If it were before, I wouldn't dare to say this, but now I can guarantee that my memory is really good, and I feel like some of the old problems I had before have disappeared."
Seeing that the doctor didn't quite believe her words, the old lady said with great conviction.
What she is most happy about this year is that her memory has gotten better. In the past, she could not remember where she put something for three or two days, but now she can still remember it even after two or three months. Get up
"Yes, yes, doctor, I was like this when I was at home before, but now I also feel that the old problems that used to torture us seem to be gone."
The old lady just said this After finishing it, I got the support of several neighbors behind me.
"Old lady, I have a general understanding. Your current symptoms of high blood pressure have indeed improved. After my preliminary inference, it should be related to your current living conditions and living habits. Of course, I’m not sure about this just once. I can try it again after a while.”
After all, Dr. Tang has been doing this for so many years, and he quickly grasped the key.
Although he didn't understand why there would be such a big change when he moved from the city to the countryside, it seemed like it was like this for now.
"Okay doctor, let's go to the hospital later."
The old lady was happy and agreed readily.
