Pressure "jumps"
March 29th, 2010
Question: Zdavstvuyte! Thank you for your link to the page "how to measure and d". That's what I'm doing. But I am perplexed by "jumps" pressure. What to take for the true value of a d and whether it is necessary, or simply try to "keep a d within certain limits? And why later measurement is almost always different from the first at 20-30 mm. Hg. Art. ? "White coat effect", of course, is absent. And what is present? "The effect on himself? Or is there some kind of physiological explanation of this "effect"? I remember that one of the doctors said that the first measurement, "smacks vascular tone, and therefore it should not be taken into account. However, doctors usually costing one times. For example a specific measurement afternoon: 150 80 120 70 115 70 130 75. In the morning, today was probably vegetovascular crisis. Pressure "ballooned" to 200 100, but the fourth metering (the intervals between the measurements at least 1 min.), It "fell" to 150 85. Are there drugs to stabilize the pressure? Or do they act in one direction – to lower? Thank you.
Answer: Yes, there are medications that stabilize blood pressure. Therefore they are called not "antihypertensive" and "antihypertensive". The fact that blood pressure fluctuates – not significant; progression of the disease occurs when it is not reduced to normal, ie, when the average daily blood pressure is constantly elevated. Permanent spasm of arterioles leads to the restructuring of their walls, and so on TV. "Reactivity" vessels – a fact which can not be negative.
