A friend left a message to Huazi, after taking antihypertensive drugs, his heart rate reached 120, and he still felt dizzy, is it the cause of the drug, can he continue to take medicine? He told Huazi that there were 3 kinds of antihypertensive drugs he was taking, namely dipaline, sartan, and diuretics. Among them, dipenetry has been taken, and recently the blood pressure has been unstable, and sartan and diuretics have been added.
Huazi told him that dizziness and tachycardia were likely to be adverse reactions caused by taking too much antihypertensive drugs and dropping blood pressure too quickly. Discontinuation is not recommended, but the dose can be appropriately reduced.
First, the pressure reduction process should be smooth
Many people with high blood pressure, after finding that their blood pressure has increased, will be particularly eager to reduce their blood pressure to normal. The idea is understandable, but the blood pressure relief process cannot be rushed.
The human body has a good tolerance for high blood pressure, if the blood pressure rises for a long time, the human body will gradually adapt to the state of higher blood pressure and will not feel uncomfortable. However, if the blood pressure decreases too quickly at this time, the neurofeedback regulation is activated, and reflex tachycardia occurs.
The effect of dilated blood vessels is obvious, so it is easy to have adverse reactions of tachycardia after medication. Moreover, after the expansion of the cerebral arteries, it is possible to compress the peripheral nerves, causing dizziness, headache, and adverse reactions of facial flushing. Therefore, when using horizon drugs, it is recommended to start with small doses, slowly increase the amount, and smoothly reduce blood pressure.
Although the friend has adapted to the effect of the horizon drug, after adding sartan and diuretics, it has a synergistic antihypertensive effect with the original level drugs, which is likely to cause the blood pressure to drop too fast, which causes the problem of tachycardia.
Second, most people's adverse reactions are temporary
Although horizon drugs have adverse effects of tachycardia, most people adapt to lower blood pressure as they continue to take the drug, and the symptoms of tachycardia are reduced and subsided. In the first use of horizon drugs, or when adjusting the drug, the use of small doses, gradually incremental method, can reduce or avoid the occurrence of adverse reactions.
Elderly patients with hypertension usually have arterial stenosis and hardening, if the blood pressure drops too quickly, it will affect the blood supply of the heart and brain, and even have the risk of inducing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, for elderly patients with hypertension, it may take several months to slowly increase the amount of medication and reduce blood pressure.
Third, combined with lore drugs can reduce tachycardia
If people with heart disease or coronary heart disease are using horizon drugs, they may be considered in combination with lore drugs. Lore drugs can selectively inhibit the beta1 receptors on the heart, have the effect of reducing heart excitability, slowing down the heart rate, can cancel each other out with tachycardia caused by horizon drugs, and have a good protective effect on cardiovascular disease.
Lore drugs can significantly reduce the oxygen consumption of the heart muscle and reduce the number and extent of angina attacks in patients with coronary heart disease. However, it should be noted that people with conduction block and slow heart rate are not suitable for lore drugs.
There are overlaps between lore drugs and "puly" and "sartan" in the pharmacological mechanism; both lore drugs and diuretics will interfere with sugar and lipid metabolism, so lol should be cautious when combined with pry, sartan, and diuretics.
To sum up, after taking antihypertensive drugs, symptoms of tachycardia and dizziness are likely to be due to the increase in reflex heart rate caused by the rapid rate of antihypertensives, which is more likely to occur when using horizon drugs. However, most of these conditions are temporary and can be relieved or disappeared after continuous medication. By taking the drug in small doses and gradually increasing the dose, the occurrence of adverse reactions can be reduced.
