Pseudohypertension?

summary

Some people take antihypertensive drugs as soon as they find their blood pressure is high; As soon as the blood pressure dropped, the drug stopped immediately. This is very dangerous. Especially in young and middle-aged people with hypertension, we must distinguish between true hypertension and false hypertension. Let's share the symptoms of pseudo hypertension?.

Pseudohypertension?

First, there are three kinds of pseudo hypertension, the first is systolic pseudo hypertension, the second is diastolic pseudo hypertension, and the third is cuff inflation hypertension. When the treatment effect of hypertension patients is poor or no treatment effect, or long-term hypertension leads to organ damage, it may be the three kinds of pseudo hypertension. Doctors and patients should attach great importance to re testing.

Second: pseudo hypertension is different from primary hypertension and secondary hypertension, the three should be distinguished. Essential hypertension refers to adults with systolic blood pressure ≥ 140mmHg (18.7kpa) and / or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 90mmHg (12.0kpa) at rest; Secondary hypertension refers to the use of drugs, blood pressure will drop or symptoms significantly relieved. Patients with essential hypertension often have functional changes of fat, heart, brain, kidney and retina; Patients with secondary hypertension often have cardiovascular disease, proteinuria and renal insufficiency.

Third: pseudohypertension is not difficult to distinguish, some people have a bad night rest, blood pressure will rise, or quarrel between husband and wife, leading to emotional excitement, blood pressure will be high, but this kind of hypertension is not true hypertension, but because of the living environment or lifestyle leading to emotional changes, resulting in increased blood pressure, these are pseudohypertension. There are also some patients who come to the hospital to see a doctor, often with a "white coat effect", that is, to see the doctor nervous, resulting in increased blood pressure.

matters needing attention

Pseudohypertension is a common and important problem in clinic. The diagnosis of hypertension must be confirmed in the case of excluding this kind of pseudo hypertension. If the elderly go to the hospital for treatment, if they are misjudged as hypertension, improper diagnosis and treatment, improper medication, it will lead to serious irreparable consequences. If the elderly are diagnosed with hypertension, and the treatment effect is poor or no obvious effect after a period of medication, it is necessary to re measure the blood pressure, find out the cause, and then prescribe the right medicine to the case, so as to avoid serious consequences, which will affect both doctors and patients.
