Frequent paroxysmal high blood pressure and fast heartbeat may be due to physiological factors such as emotional excitement and nervousness, or due to pathological factors such as myocardial ischemia and pheochromocytoma. The symptoms of paroxysmal high blood pressure and fast heartbeat can be improved through general treatment, drug treatment and surgical treatment.
1. Physiological factors: if the patient is usually prone to emotional excitement, mental tension, etc., it will stimulate the body’s sympathetic nerve excitation, resulting in frequent symptoms of paroxysmal high blood pressure and fast heartbeat. Symptoms should be improved by adjusting lifestyle, such as paying attention to rest, avoiding exertion, keeping a happy mood and avoiding emotional fluctuations.
2. Myocardial ischemia: patients with myocardial ischemia will increase myocardial oxygen consumption under emotional excitement and overwork, causing myocardial ischemia and hypoxia, leading to accelerated heart rate and elevated blood pressure, so patients with myocardial ischemia will often experience paroxysmal high blood pressure and fast heartbeat. Under the guidance of the doctor, beta-blockers (such as metoprolol), nitroglycerin and other drugs can be used for treatment.
3. Pheochromocytoma: catecholamines can act on blood vessels and heart to make blood vessels constrict, heart rate accelerate, heart contraction increase, cardiac output increase and blood pressure rise. Pheochromocytoma can intermittently release a large amount of catecholamines (such as epinephrine, etc.), causing the patient to experience paroxysmal hypertension with fast heartbeat. The tumor can be removed by minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery on the advice of the doctor.
If patients often paroxysmal high blood pressure and fast heartbeat, they should go to regular hospitals in time, clarify the cause of the disease, and follow the doctor’s instructions for standardized treatment, so as to avoid delaying the condition and causing adverse consequences.
