After the story about the harm of nocturnal hypertension people are very worried and send their stories. It turned out that people jump at night for a long time, measure their blood pressure and then cannot calm down for a long time.
No, brothers! This is another story.
Even in the morning it can be difficult to measure blood pressure normally. Well, to measure it at night, you need an automatic device. It is clear that if every hour something on the hand swells and buzzes under the ear, then this can disrupt sleep. But usually such devices do not bother too much and hardly increase the pressure with their presence.
It's another matter if you yourself jumped at night and planned fantastic pressure figures for yourself. This does not mean that you need to urgently call an ambulance. It rather means that you are crazy.
Well, that is, if you have a headache or chest pain, your heartbeat is rolling and does not let go, shortness of breath or nausea appears, then this is very similar to hypertensive crisis
that requires an ambulance. But if you just had a bad dream, and you jumped up in a cold sweat, your heart jumps out, and you want to run away, then it’s rather a nightmare. Adrenaline is released from it, and the body begins to fight against an imaginary threat.The situation is about the same as with an increase in blood pressure during exercise. That is, there are people whose blood pressure seems to be normal in a calm state, but scales under load. It is generally accepted that such psychos are more likely to have high blood pressure at rest in the future. I had a scientific work on this topic.
Somewhere in the early 2000s, this topic was studied and it turned out that the hypertensive reaction to physical activity can then disappear. That is, it is not a sentence.
So, during and after physical activity, blood pressure is usually not measured. Remember these rules? There you have to wait an hour after physical work, then sit quietly for another 5 minutes with the tonometer cuff on your shoulder and only then you can measure.
At night, about the same thing happens. Even if this is not a nightmare with an adrenaline rush, then the usual awakening is also accompanied by an increase in blood pressure.
If you, dear comrades, have a bad dream and because of nothing to do you measure your blood pressure, then with a high probability you intend it to be high. This is not exactly the night pressure that we discussed with you. Rather, it is your experience of awakening.
That is, by measuring your blood pressure at night, you are likely to find it very high. But this is not always scary. If nothing really bothers you except experiences, then it makes sense to just lie down and get distracted from gloomy thoughts. Otherwise, you can jump up every day in the middle of the night and scare everyone around you with your tonometer.
