In case of a hypertensive crisis, it is necessary to measure the pressure and call an ambulance; declaration Candidate of Medical Sciences Denis Sokolov in an interview with the RIAMO cardiologist at JSC “Medicina” (Academician Roitberg clinic).

“If there are signs of a hypertensive crisis, it is necessary to measure the pressure and call an ambulance. 25 mg of captopril or 10 mg of nifedipine should be taken. It is necessary to exclude such drugs as dibazol, papazol – in this case they are ineffective, ”said Sokolov.
He added that it is impossible to exceed the indicated doses of drugs, since a sharp drop in pressure can cause serious complications.
