 What precautions do hypertensive patients take medicine?

If you have high blood pressure, you can't decline only by improving your lifestyle; Or if the initial blood pressure is too high, secondary hypertension or above, you need to take antihypertensive drugs.

Medical research has proved that antihypertensive therapy is beneficial and compared with diseases such as hypertension. Its benefits far outweigh the damage of the disease to the body and the side effects of drugs. At present, the first-line antihypertensive drugs introduced clinically have significant effects and safety. For patients with hypertension, antihypertensive treatment can significantly reduce cardiovascular hazards and diseases, and the overall drug safety. Not to mention young hypertension, even hypertension in the elderly over the age of 80 can benefit from antihypertensive therapy.

Some patients have normal blood pressure after taking antihypertensive drugs and stop the drugs without authorization. However, after taking antihypertensive drugs, the blood pressure is normal, which is the effect of antihypertensive drugs. At this time, if you stop taking medicine, the antihypertensive effect will be gone. It is reasonable for your blood pressure to rise again. Only the patient has no symptoms and no feeling. In addition, he does not know the rise of blood pressure without measuring blood pressure. A few years later, the harm occurred. Therefore, if the blood pressure is normal, continue taking antihypertensive drugs.

If the blood pressure drops too low after taking the medicine, it can be reduced or even stopped. However, it must be carried out under the guidance of doctors.

Many risk factors of hypertension are related to bad lifestyle. Therefore, when some risk factors are manipulated, adverse lifestyles are improved, metabolic disorders are corrected, and blood pressure will drop to varying degrees. If blood pressure can be reduced to normal level and maintained, antihypertensive drugs can be discontinued.

The fluctuation of blood pressure is related to season and environmental factors. Due to different seasons and regional environment, the blood pressure level will also change. Antihypertensive drugs should be adjusted accordingly, reduced or stopped, but they should be carried out under the guidance of doctors.
