How to treat pseudo hypertension?

summary

In patients with severe local arteriosclerosis, the possibility of pseudohypertension is very high. If the patients with pseudohypertension also blindly follow the "standard requirements" for antihypertensive treatment, it may cause inappropriate blood pressure reduction. Today let me learn how to treat pseudo hypertension with you?.

How to treat pseudo hypertension?

First: in the patients with simple pseudo hypertension misdiagnosed as primary hypertension, some often receive antihypertensive treatment, sometimes even over treatment, and some people have serious consequences. In clinic, once pseudohypertension is definitely diagnosed, the patient's intra-arterial blood pressure is normal and the clinical condition is good, and usually does not need antihypertensive treatment.

Second: pseudohypertension often occurs in people with severe arteriosclerosis. Due to the thickening and hardening of the arterial wall, higher balloon pressure is needed to block the blood flow when using the ordinary cuff pressure measurement method, so the obtained blood pressure value has the phenomenon of rising.

Third: therefore, in such a situation, if we take more drastic measures to reduce blood pressure, we may have adverse reactions. Especially in the elderly patients with pseudo hypertension, if not treated properly, they are more likely to have hypotension, orthostatic hypotension, acute heart brain insufficiency.

matters needing attention

Don't treat pseudo hypertension as pseudo hypertension. With the passage of time and the increase of age, pseudo hypertension can easily develop into real hypertension. Don't be careless!
