Diabetes May Influence Blood Pressure on Antihypertensive Drug

As to metabolic syndrome (Met-S), the frequency of hypertension and diabetes increases with the progress of arteriosclerosis. Its pathophysiological mechanism also involves the control of the nervous system. In other words, regarding the adjustment of blood pressure in humans, the blood pressure will fluctuate by adjusting mechanism of the nervous system, corresponding to the body position, movement, exercise and psycho-psychiatric changes in various situations. There is no problem in normal persons concerning these regulatory mechanisms. However, in the patients associated with hypertension or previous stroke, the mechanism for instantaneously regulating blood pressure has been impaired. Therefore, blood pressure may rise or fall suddenly in such patients.
