If blood pressure is elevated, it is recommended to lie flat to avoid adverse events. In addition, high blood pressure should be treated promptly.
It is recommended to lie down and rest when blood pressure is elevated because dizziness may occur due to increased blood pressure, and falls may occur. Lying down and resting can relieve temporary elevations in blood pressure due to excitement and exertion.
Suffering from hypertension should be treated with medication in a timely manner. Commonly used medications for the treatment of hypertension are categorized as angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor antagonists, diuretics, beta-blockers, and calcium antagonists. Representative drugs are chlorosartan, captopril, spironolactone, metoprolol, and lasidipine.
Drugs should be used under the supervision of a physician.
