If blood pressure suddenly rises, emergency treatment is required according to the situation.

In daily life, when people find that their blood pressure suddenly increases, they need to take measures to treat it immediately to avoid serious consequences. So, how to give first aid when blood pressure suddenly increases?

Acute left heart failure

Hypertensive patients may experience palpitations, hypoxia, purple lips, limb paralysis, or pink foamy sputum. Consider whether the patient has acute left heart failure. If this happens, immediately let the patient's legs hang down and sit up. If there is an oxygen bag at home, help the patient breathe oxygen in time.

Hypertensive encephalopathy

If a patient with hypertension suddenly experiences nausea, vomiting, severe headache, palpitations, frequent urination, or even blurred vision, this indicates that the patient has developed hypertensive encephalopathy. Family members should comfort the patient and tell him or her not to be nervous, let the patient rest in bed, and take antihypertensive drugs in time. They can also take diuretics, sedatives, etc.

Angina occurs

Excessive emotional changes can also cause a sudden rise in the patient's blood pressure, which is most likely to cause angina or even acute heart failure. If a patient with high blood pressure suddenly experiences chest tightness, pale complexion, cold sweats, or precordial pain after fatigue or mental stimulation, he or she should stay calm, rest, take a tablet of nitroglycerin under the tongue, and inhale oxygen.
