The possible causes of elevated blood pressure at night are caused by taking medications, but also insulin resistance, sleep apnea hypoventilation syndrome and renal hypoplasia.
1. Drug factors: hypertensive patients take antihypertensive drugs in the daytime in a timely manner, or the dose is too small, which leads to the patient’s blood pressure at night, in addition, if the patient only take antihypertensive drugs in the morning, and then forget to take in the afternoon, it will also cause the patient’s blood pressure at night.
2. Insulin resistance: Insulin resistance can increase the excitability of sympathetic nerves, which may cause the patient’s blood pressure to rise at night;
3. Sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome: sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome can cause patients with hypoxemia, which may induce patients with elevated blood pressure at night;
4. Renal hypoplasia: Renal hypoplasia can cause sodium and water retention in the patient’s body, which in turn causes the patient’s blood pressure to rise at night.
It is recommended that patients with elevated blood pressure at night identify the cause as soon as possible, and then under the guidance of the doctor for treatment, in addition, during the treatment period, do not smoke, do not drink alcohol, and eat less greasy food.
