Question
Hello doctor,
7 months ago after being sick, I had high blood pressure. The doctor said it was essential hypertension. Since then, I have taken medicine every day and maintained a healthy diet as directed by the doctor. However, every few days around 15-17h, blood pressure suddenly rises to 140-150/100, and the other days are normal. After raising blood pressure, I lay still for a long time until the morning when I woke up, my blood pressure returned to normal. Doctor asked me often sudden sudden increase in blood pressure what to do?
Looking forward to the doctor's advice, thank you!

Answer
Hello,
With the question “Frequently high blood pressure, what to do? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Blood pressure during the day of each person often fluctuates, is not fixed and there are times of the day when blood pressure will be highest, especially after eating or after exertion, usually decrease at night. According to your description, most of the time your blood pressure is on target 140/90 mmHg. Maintaining medication and maintaining such a healthy diet and lifestyle works very well. The fact that sometimes blood pressure rises slightly above the target (150/100mmHg) for 1-2 hours and then returns to normal, you can continue to maintain the same regimen and should not be too worried. However, to make sure your blood pressure has reached the right target number for your individual cardiovascular risk, you should have a follow-up visit.
If you still have questions about what to do with frequent sudden high blood pressure, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wish you a lot of health.
