Generally speaking, excessive sweating in hypertensive patients may be caused by hypertensive reaction, autonomic dysfunction, pheochromocytoma, etc. It can be relieved by medication and surgery.
1. Hypertensive reaction: elevated blood pressure in hypertensive patients causes sympathetic nerve excitation, which may over-activate the body’s sympathetic endocrine system, causing increased secretion of adrenaline and leading to excessive sweating. Patients can also use antihypertensive drugs such as nifedipine controlled-release tablets, irbesartan tablets, captopril tablets, etc. under the guidance of doctors, so as to relieve the symptoms of excessive sweating.
2. Autonomic dysfunction: If the patient has high blood pressure, when the blood pressure rises, autonomic dysfunction may occur, resulting in sweating. Patients can use vitamin B1, vitamin B6, methylcobalamin tablets under the guidance of doctors. These drugs have the effect of nutritive nerves, which can effectively relieve this symptom.
3. Pheochromocytoma: If the high blood pressure is caused by pheochromocytoma, it may be due to the increase of adrenal activity, which causes excessive sweating. Patients need to go to the regular hospital through adrenal gland CT examination, through tumor removal surgery and other ways of treatment, so as to alleviate the symptoms of excessive sweating.
As the causes of excessive sweating are different for hypertensive patients, so are the medications used and the treatments chosen, it is recommended that patients should go to the hospital in time to identify the cause of the disease and then further treat it when they experience discomfort.
