Labile hypertension: what it is, symptoms, treatment

Labile hypertension - a pathological condition in which the pressure rises intermittently. The disease occurs in both adults and children. Over time, it may take the form of a stable, where symptoms of hypertension are always present.

why is there

The emergence of labile hypertension contribute to the following reasons:

• Increased activity of the nervous system that develops against the backdrop of frequent stress and psycho-emotional overload. The brain is in this case strongly transmits impulses that trigger vasoconstriction. Such a neurological disorder can be an indication of vascular dystonia appearing at the stage of formation of the nervous system in adolescents. The disease is accompanied by a temporary increase in pressure.
• Sedentary lifestyle. It promotes weight gain and metabolic disorders in which there are deposits of cholesterol in arterial walls. On vascular occlusion body reacts to an increase in blood pressure.
• Diabetes. Violation of carbohydrate metabolism indirectly affects the heart and blood vessels.

• Smoking. Nicotine contained in tobacco smoke constricts blood vessels. In the early stages of pathological changes of a temporary nature. Prolonged smoking narrowing of the arteries takes sustained.
• The systematic use of alcohol. Abnormal liver function leads to vascular spasm, accompanied by increases in blood pressure.
• Abuse of table salt. The excess of the daily requirement (2 g) delays the excess liquid. The kidneys begin to work correctly, the body formed substance precipitating a blood pressure rise. People often uses salty food, almost always suffer labile hypertension.
• Drinking coffee. Caffeine, penetrating into the blood, causing a spasm of vascular walls.
• Genetic predisposition. If hypertension was present in close relatives of the patient, the risk of developing this disease is estimated to be 50-70%.

What are the symptoms

Labile hypertension has no symptoms persist. Symptoms of the disease are detected during medical examinations. Increased blood pressure can be accompanied by:

• migraine headaches character, pulsation in the temples, dizziness;
• an abrupt change in heart rate, increased heart rate, arrhythmia;
• nausea and vomiting;
• muscle weakness, reduced working capacity;
• violation of vestibular function;
• night insomnia and daytime sleepiness;
• irritability, nervousness;
• pressing pains in the chest;
• shortness of breath.

In the event of symptoms seek medical advice indicated above. A similar clinical picture can be observed at a dangerous pathologies.

therapies

Start treatment with labile hypertension disease with necessary lifestyle changes. The patient should observe the following recommendations:

• to enter into the daily routine of moderate exercise (positive effect on the condition of the heart muscle and blood vessels hiking, swimming, cycling, jogging);
• avoid stress and psycho-emotional overload, which are the main causes of high blood pressure (you need to maintain a positive atmosphere in the family and the working team);
• eat right (number of members of the animal fat diet to minimize the menu include fresh fruits and vegetables, dietary meats and fish, dairy products);
• taking vitamins (hypertensive patients are encouraged to take nutritional supplements containing magnesium, potassium and calcium);
• to give up smoking and alcohol consumption;
• reduce the amount of consumed coffee and strong black tea (these drinks are recommended to replace the green tea);
• comply with work and rest mode (night's sleep should last at least 8 hours, it has a positive effect on the cardiovascular system);
• take a contrast shower (alternation of hot and cold water has a strengthening effect on the walls of blood vessels);
• maintain the water-salt balance of the body (a day is recommended to use no more than 3 grams of salt).

Drug therapy is aimed at addressing the causes of hypertensive disease. Apply the following medicines:

• Diuretics (spironolactone). Formulations outputted excess liquid, reducing blood pressure on the vessel walls and eliminating swelling.
• Sedatives (Novopassit). Help to cope with stress, enhance the nervous system, normalize sleep. Choosing the necessary medicines containing natural plant extracts.
• Beta-blockers (atenolol). Neutralize the action of the hormone adrenaline inducing vasospasm under stress. Taking medicines must be used under medical supervision.
• calcium antagonists (nifedipine). Lower blood pressure, prevent the development of diseases of the cardiovascular system.
• Alpha-blockers (captopril). Eliminate the symptoms of hypertension, normalize heart rhythm.

Drugs have side effects, so they should be used with caution. Most often, drugs must be taken for life.
