A friend left a message to Hua Zi. After taking antihypertensive drugs, his heart rate reached 120 and he still felt dizzy. Could it be because of the drug, can he continue to take it? He told Hua Zi that there are 3 kinds of antihypertensive drugs he takes, namely dipine, sartan, and diuretics. Among them, dipine has been taking, and blood pressure has been unstable recently, and sartan and diuretics have been added.
Hua Zi told him that the dizziness and tachycardia were probably the adverse reactions caused by the excessive dose of antihypertensive drugs and the rapid drop in blood pressure. It is not recommended to stop the drug, but the dose can be appropriately reduced.
First, the decompression process should be stable
Many people with high blood pressure feel particularly anxious to get their blood pressure back to normal after they find that their blood pressure is elevated. The idea is understandable, but the process of reducing the pressure should not be rushed.
The human body has a good tolerance to 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 discomfort. However, if blood pressure drops too fast at this time, neurofeedback regulation will be activated and reflex tachycardia will occur.
Dipine antihypertensive drugs have obvious effect on vasodilation, so the adverse reaction of tachycardia is easy to occur after medication. Moreover, after the cerebral artery expands, it may cause compression on peripheral nerves, causing adverse reactions such as dizziness, headache, and facial flushing. Therefore When using dipine drugs, it is recommended to start with a small dose and increase the dose slowly to lower blood pressure steadily.
Although that friend has adapted to the effect of dipine drugs, but after adding sartan and diuretic drugs, it has a synergistic antihypertensive effect with the original dipine drugs, it is very likely that The blood pressure drops too fast, causing the problem of tachycardia.
Second, most adverse reactions are temporary
Although dipines can cause adverse reactions to tachycardia, with continued use of the drug, the body will adapt to the lower blood pressure and the symptoms of tachycardia will disappear. Lighten and fade. When using dipines for the first time, or when adjusting the drug, the use of small doses and gradually increasing the method can reduce or avoid the occurrence of adverse reactions.
Elderly hypertensive patients usually have arterial stenosis and hardening. If the blood pressure drops too fast, it will affect the blood supply to the heart and brain, and even induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. risk. So for elderly hypertensive patients, it may take several months to slowly increase the dose to lower blood pressure.
Third, combined with lorol can reduce tachycardia
If people with heart disease and coronary heart disease are using dipine drugs, they can consider combining with lorol drugs. Lol drugs can selectively inhibit the β1 receptors on the heart, which can reduce cardiac excitability and slow down the heart rate, and can counteract the tachycardia caused by dipine drugs. Has a good protective effect.
Lol drugs can significantly reduce myocardial oxygen consumption and reduce the frequency and severity of angina pectoris in patients with coronary heart disease. However, it should be noted that people with conduction block and slow heart rate are not suitable for lorol drugs.
Lol drugs and “Pulli” and “Sartan” have overlapping pharmacological mechanisms; Lol drugs and diuretics both interfere with glucose and lipid metabolism, so Caution should be taken when Lorol is used in combination with puri, sartan and diuretics.
To sum up, after taking antihypertensive drugs, the symptoms of tachycardia and dizziness appearIt is likely that the reflex heart rate increase caused by the rapid blood pressure reduction is more likely to occur when dipine drugs are used. However, most of these conditions are temporary and can be relieved or disappeared after continuous medication. By taking a small dose of the drug and gradually increasing the dose, the occurrence of adverse reactions can be reduced.
