Hello friend,
With the question “What should I do when my blood pressure rises early in the morning after waking up? ", the doctor answered as follows:
High blood pressure (or hypertension) is a chronic disease when the pressure of the blood acting on the artery walls is increased. High blood pressure puts a lot of pressure on the heart (increases the burden on the heart) and is the cause of many serious cardiovascular complications such as: cerebrovascular accident, heart failure, coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction. ,... The diagnosis and treatment strategies of cardiologists in our country often follow the updated treatment guidelines of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC). According to the recently updated ESC guidelines in 2018, depending on the severity, high blood pressure is classified as follows:
Optimal blood pressure: Less than 120/80 mmHg; Normal blood pressure: 120/80 mmHg or higher; High normal blood pressure: 130/85 mmHg or higher; Therefore, when you have symptoms of high blood pressure after waking up, you should go to a Cardiology medical facility for examination and advice on treatment options as well as appropriate daily activities.
If you still have questions about high blood pressure in the early morning after waking up, you can go to a medical facility under Vinmec Health System for early examination and treatment. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
