Depending on your daily activity, your blood pressure constantly
changes. Unpredictable causes of sudden high blood pressure can also be
related to your mental status or even the time of the day. In most
cases, if your blood pressure has been stable for most of your life, a
sudden onset of high blood pressure measurements could return to normal.
If
your blood pressure is usually normal, physicians generally repeat a
second and third blood pressure reading before becoming concerned.
However, if a sudden or dramatic rise in blood pressure continues for
more than several days may justify medical attention. Short- term high
blood pressure may cause an acute crisis of effects while long- term
high blood pressure can obviously cause damaging and devastating
consequences.
An unpredictable or sudden rise of high blood
pressure may result in nosebleeds, giddiness, headaches and/or feelings
of oppression in the chest. Multiple rises of blood pressure is subject
to induce small cerebral vascular accidents that may be extremely
damaging to the brain.
If your blood pressure suddenly rises and
remains elevated, this may signify other important medical issues or
obvious causes that must be addressed. The sudden onset of high blood
pressure may be due to the side effects from certain drugs (both
prescription and 'street' drugs). When your body produces too much of
certain hormones, it may cause your blood pressure to rise unexpectedly.
The
Kidney disease that narrows the flow of the blood to the kidneys or
even identified complications that are associated with pregnancy may
also result in high blood pressure sudden onset. Obvious causes that
elicit doctors to avoid providing unnecessary treatment to patients and
that you may have full control over must be addressed.
Such causes
of sudden onset might be excessive alcohol or caffeine consumption.
Other obvious factors include the consumption of cocaine and other
prescribed drugs such as the contraceptive pill, anti- inflammatory
drugs, adrenal steroids, nasal decongestions or antidepressants.
Of
course, your physician will prescribe a medical evaluation to address
these types of circumstances. You should actually be monitored by a
hospital in order to carry out certain procedures to treat short- term
high blood pressure. The residing physician will order Antihypertensive
Therapy to make the blood pressure lower.
The therapy is managed
by intravenous injection. This therapy is generally utilized if there
is a risk of serious organ damage. However, if an acute Oedema of the
lung appears, the doctor will prescribe a diuretic intravenous
treatment. Causes of sudden high blood pressure are vast, but can be
potentially self- maintained. It is certainly recommended that you seek
the attention of a physician if the episodes of acute high blood
pressure persist.By
