Should patients with high blood pressure take their medication even on the morning of surgery?

Hello,

When doing preoperative consultations, we are often asked, “Should I still take my blood pressure medicine on the day of surgery?”

Today, I’ll give you a simple and clear answer to that question!

The conclusion first...

Yes, you should definitely take your blood pressure medication in the morning before coming in.

You can take it with a small amount of water.

Why is that?

Before surgery, fasting is required, and because sedation anesthesia is used,

blood pressure needs to be kept under stable control so that both the anesthesia process and recovery before and after surgery can proceed safely.

In particular, for patients with high blood pressure,

During sedation anesthesia, blood pressure can temporarily rise due to tension, anxiety, pain stimulation, and similar factors,

so it is very important to take your medication as usual and control your blood pressure in advance.

💊 What if you forgot to take your medication, or your blood pressure is high?

Don’t worry.

Just Plastic Surgery is well equipped with medication and an emergency response system to stabilize blood pressure.

After checking the customer’s heart rate, pulse, and overall condition,

we take quick action if needed and proceed with surgery safely.

However, to reduce unnecessary risk,

it is best to take your medication in the morning before coming in.
