People with high blood pressure, sleep is not good, blood pressure will be higher!
But you know what?
There are many causes of poor sleep and insomnia, on the one hand, excessive stress, on the one hand, insomnia, in fact, there is a possibility that some antihypertensive drugs will also cause a decline in sleep quality.
Therefore, if the quality of sleep is not high in people with high blood pressure, they need to see if it is caused by their own antihypertensive drugs.
First, antihypertensive drugs that may affect sleep
1. Lore drugs
For example, metoprolol tartrate tablets, metoprolol succinate extended-release tablets, bisoprolol fumarate and other aral antihypertensive drugs. This type of antihypertensive drugs can not only lower blood pressure, but also lower heart rate, but also serve as the basic drug for the treatment of heart failure, myocardial infarction, and arrhythmias.
However, lore drugs may have side effects on the central nervous system, which may lead to nightmares, hallucinations, sleep fragments, excessive daytime sleepiness, and even insomnia.
Therefore, friends who take lore antihypertensive drugs, see how their sleep quality is, if there is a sleep problem, it is best to find the cause to see if there is a relationship with antihypertensive drugs.
2. Diuretic drugs
Diuretics are commonly used in 5 categories of antihypertensive drugs, the most commonly used is hydrochlorothiazide, and some compound preparations, such as antihypertensive No. 0, recurrent hemotic equality contain diuretics.
Although diuretic drugs do not directly affect the nervous system, if diuretic drugs are taken at night, they may lead to more nocturia and frequent night up, which will lead to a decrease in sleep quality.
3. Central nervous system antihypertensive drugs
This type of antihypertensive drugs is used less often, and most people will not use this type of antihypertensive drugs. However, if a very small number of people are using central antihypertensive drugs such as clonidine and methyldopa, it is necessary to pay attention.
These antihypertensive drugs can cause insomnia and even cause severe insomnia.
Second, antihypertensive drugs that do not affect sleep
So which antihypertensive drugs have little effect on sleep, or do not affect sleep?
Our commonly used puli, satan, and dipaline basically do not affect sleep. Studies have shown that the least impact on sleep is the praly antihypertensive drugs, such as benazepril, enalapril, perdopril and so on.
The effect of level antihypertensive drugs on sleep breathing is small, and it has a good control effect on the morning peak phenomenon of insomnia and hypertension.
Therefore, if the comprehensive judgment is that the quality of your sleep is not good enough, see if it is necessary to change the antihypertensive drugs under the guidance of a doctor.

Be sure to remember: changing antihypertensive medications is the doctor's task, not their own right.
Even if there is a sleep quality problem, these people's lore or diuretics can not be easily stopped
Some friends with high blood pressure, even if they suspect that their sleep quality is not high and related to lore drugs, can not be stopped casually.
For example, patients with high blood pressure with a fast heart rate, such as heart failure, myocardial infarction, angina, and rapid arrhythmias. In these cases, it is basically necessary to use the drug of lore, so the drug cannot be discontinued. If you must stop the lore drug, it is bound to cause aggravation of heart disease.
For example, patients with unstable heart failure are using diuretics, or diuretics are used for refractory hypertension. It is best to take it in the morning to reduce the situation of nocturia.
Fourth, the low quality of sleep is the cause of high blood pressure, but also the result of high blood pressure
Long-term hypertension, if there is no control, or poor control, we will also insomnia, compared with people with normal blood pressure, the insomnia rate of hypertensive patients is higher, up to 40% to 60%, so when we have insomnia, we have to measure blood pressure to see if it is caused by hypertension.
After sleeping well and insomnia, we not only have a poor mental state, sympathetic excitement, increased heart rate, and increased blood pressure. So when we didn't sleep well last night, our blood pressure was measured the next day, often higher than usual.
Fifth, the way to sleep well
