How to make a smooth blood pressure throughout the day

How can we maintain the blood pressure is stable throughout the day? «This is a hypertensive patients are very concerned about the issue is also clinical doctors have been working to do. 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, has the depth to hypertensive patients as the diagnosis and treatment results to determine targets.

The Observer found that patients with mild to moderate hypertension 24-hour blood pressure in the two peaks and two low, that is 1-2 points for the early morning low of the day, and then gradually increase in blood pressure; point to get up early 6-8 The first peak blood pressure, started to decline after 8:00; 12-13 at noon for the second bottom, and then began to rise in blood pressure; 18-20 points for the second peak is the highest of the day, blood pressure and then gradually declined.

We all know the hazards of hypertension, and its complications: heart, brain and kidney damage, the higher the blood pressure, the more serious complications. In recent years, medical experts have taken note of the night the relationship between blood pressure and complications. Blood pressure in patients with hypertension night fell more than 10 percent of those dippers blood pressure, less than 10 per cent in non-dippers blood pressure. Many studies have proven that dipper blood pressure, heart and brain vascular complication rate than non-dippers to be much lower. This fact shows that nocturnal blood pressure and hypertension is closely related complications.

Our common to this phenomenon, although some patients taking seriously, but still in heart and brain vascular accident and emergency. In the cause of these phenomena, the first application of short-acting antihypertensive drugs, is not the fluctuations of blood pressure medication. Short-acting antihypertensive drugs can only maintain a few hours, to the early morning the next day, the blood concentration is very low or even no, not with timely treatment, get up early at the first peak blood pressure can not be controlled.

To enable a smooth 24-hour blood pressure, blood pressure fluctuations must be in accordance with the laws of antihypertensive drugs in the body and the role of rational use of time, stressed that the first day of treatment in time to get up at 6:00 am. If the drug is in effect, serving at 5-6 in the afternoon of the second, if the short-acting anti-hypertensive drugs, which is limited to daytime high blood pressure should be at 12:00 pm and the 5-6 point plus a service charge; High blood pressure at night, or in the best long-term effect of antihypertensive drugs.

Fluctuations in blood pressure or movement in the peak measurement of blood pressure, is the best inspection and evaluation of the effectiveness of anti-hypertensive treatment of one of the ways. When clinical casual blood pressure are satisfied with the results, preferably through a 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring to identify whether the blood pressure stable.
