Hello, I'm Dr. Knowing Blue.

People's blood pressure can fluctuate at any time, so it is important to dynamically monitor, especially for hypertensive patients. There is often a situation, usually take antihypertensive drugs blood pressure is relatively stable, such as in the 130/90mmhg or so, suddenly one day to measure the blood pressure has become very high, such as high pressure to reach 180, mmhg, which is higher than the usual 50mmhg, then how to do this time?

1, first of all, to understand the hypertensive emergency

Hypertensive emergency refers to a sharp rise in blood pressure, causing increased damage to target organs, such as the occurrence of cerebral hemorrhage, cardiac infarction, heart attack, aortic coarctation, renal failure, etc., the patient may appear chest pain, sweating, headache, vomiting, limbs cannot These are all critical complications of hypertension, which are urgent and need to be treated in a hospital as soon as possible.

2. How do I control my blood pressure?

First, it's important to be exposed to factors that trigger an increase in blood pressure. For example, if you're excited and you've just had a fight with someone, it's time to stop; for example, if you're in a cold state, your blood pressure may also rise sharply, so you should keep warm in time; if you're highly stressed, your blood vessels will contract, your heart will beat faster, and your blood pressure will naturally be higher. So, it's best to contact the triggering factors, stay calm, slowly do a few deep breaths, the more anxious the blood pressure is more likely to be high.

Second, you can use some emergency medicine.

In the past, some people took nifedipine tablets to lower their blood pressure in an emergency, which was really effective and fast, and then found that some people's blood pressure dropped too fast, too low, and even had hypotension, which is another extreme, and low blood pressure is also dangerous, which is an overkill.

It is now generally recommended that hypertensive patients can prepare some captopril tablets for emergencies, captopril sublingual effect is also faster, but it is milder than nifedipine, not easy to appear hypotensive. In addition, if the blood pressure rises sharply, and the heart rate is also relatively fast, for example, up to 90, 100 beats per minute, you can also sublingual metoprolol tablets, which can not only lower blood pressure, but also reduce the heart rate, the heart rate is lowered, the blood pressure is also easy to come down. If you don't have these drugs, you can also take the usual antihypertensive drugs and then take a piece of the current most people are using a long-acting antihypertensive drugs, the effect is slower, but the total rule is a method.

3, as soon as possible to the doctor

Blood pressure rose sharply, especially with a headache, chest tightness and other symptoms of these cases, or as soon as possible to the doctor, after all, their ability to deal with is very limited. When you get to the hospital, the doctor assesses your condition, adjusts the medication, hospitalizes you, in short, to control your blood pressure and reduce target organ damage.
