J. Pal advises in acute hypertension papaverine, benzyl compounds. small intakes of camphor, nitrites, then heat (diathermy, etc.), bloodletting, warm hand and foot baths, stretching limbs. Chloral hydrate is very useful in such cases, but must not be given. Equally, the author does not approve the long-term use of nitrites, as they can have a harmful effect on the vascular wall. Atropine (or novotropine), sometimes together with papaverine, is very effective in chest pains. Morphine, unlike the above remedies, does not eliminate the cause of pain in acute hypertension, but only the pain sensation itself.
