High blood pressure in the afternoon and evening? What's the matter?

The blood pressure of our human body has obvious day and night fluctuations, high during the day and low at night. The blood pressure is lowest at 2 to 3 in the morning, and the highest at 6 to 10 in the morning and 4 to 8 in the afternoon. It is a "double peak and one valley". The curve formed is like a spoon, called a "spoon-shaped" curve. However, there are also some patients with hypertension and whose blood pressure does not drop at night, but instead rises. This type of hypertension is a counter-type hypertension.

usually has a 20% difference between daytime and night blood pressure, this difference is very important. The human body is in a dormant state at night, with slow breathing and slow heartbeat, which is equivalent to taking a rest after a day of exhaustion, replenishing energy, and restoring energy. Corresponding systemic blood circulation will also slow down, blood flow rate will drop, blood pressure will be at a lower level, and the impact on blood vessels will decrease.

If the difference in blood pressure between day and night decreases or disappears, it is conceivable that the blood pressure at night is the same as or even higher during the day, which makes the heart, brain, blood vessels and other organs not get their due rest at night and continue to suffer. The impact of high-pressure blood flow will cause the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular system to be overloaded for a long time, which will accelerate the atherosclerosis of the blood vessels, causing more serious damage to target organs such as the heart, brain, and kidneys, and the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases is even greater. high. The study shows that: anti-spinal hypertension is independent of daytime hypertension, which is a more dangerous factor for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease: , which means that even if blood pressure is well controlled during the day, if there is a counter-spike hypertension , The risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases is still high. Therefore, once diagnosed with anti-spoon type hypertension, we must pay attention to it.

must first find out whether it is due to insomnia, mental stress, overwork, emotional restlessness or other diseases. If there are related influencing factors, remove them as soon as possible. At the same time, adjust the medication time under the guidance of the doctor, take antihypertensive drugs in the afternoon or evening to control the increase in blood pressure at night. The patients themselves should also pay attention to adjusting their mentality, regular work and rest, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, helping blood pressure return to the natural pattern of changes, and reducing the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
