The therapist named the common causes of a sharp increase in blood pressure.
Be careful with drugs
Therapist Tamara Ilyinskaya said that one of the causes of sudden pressure could be acute pain. From pain, the nervous system is able to enhance its sympathetic reaction. The heart rate begins to increase, and blood flow is redirected to the main organs – as a result, blood pressure indicators increase.
Pressure on the kidneys
Dr. Ilyinskaya explained that a sharp increase in pressure causes problems with the bladder. Especially the presence of pathologies associated with incomplete emptying.
According to the doctor, a full bladder can put pressure on the kidneys, resulting in higher blood pressure readings.
The doctor also warned that with blood pressure readings of 180/120 or higher, you need to seek medical help. This may indicate the presence of a hypertensive crisis. If you are not experiencing any severe symptoms, then wait five minutes and take your blood pressure again.
And if, along with high numbers, you feel chest or back pain, shortness of breath, numbness of body parts, blurred vision, or difficulty speaking, call an ambulance immediately. This condition signals a heart attack or stroke.
