Hello,
As per my clinical experience, the
angioplasty procedure per se is not responsible for
high BP or blood sugar. There can be various reasons for such presentation like:
- Lapse in the intake of anti hypertensive or anti-diabetic medication
- Dietary changes with high sodium and carbohydrates or sugary items
- Severe
stress - Post traumatic effect of procedure thoughts
- Changes in the dosage of previously running medications
Kindly discuss the issue with his treating cardiologist for best assistance. Till that time, following measures will help him:
- Plenty of liquids to maintain hydration
- Balanced nutritious diet with avoidance of salt, spices, junk items, dairy fat
- Avoid stress and anxiety
- No active or passive smoking
- Diet devoid of carbohydrates and rich in whole grains, cereals, pulses
- Maintain proper sound uninterrupted sleep of 7 hours
- Regular walking, meditations and YOGA
- Avoid any strenuous activities
- Continue all of the currently prescribed medications as per the discharge case record
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
