When the blood pressure rises again after twenty days of stopping medication for hypertension, it is still necessary to continue to take long-term antihypertensive medication and to monitor the changes in blood pressure on a regular basis.
More than 90% of patients with hypertension belong to primary hypertension, and it is difficult to determine its exact cause. There is no cure for this type of patients, so most of them need lifelong treatment and cannot stop taking medication at will.
Most patients with systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mmHg need medication. According to China’s current guidelines for the prevention and treatment of hypertension, patients with general hypertension should have their blood pressure controlled below 140/90 mmHg within 4 to 12 weeks. Along with drug treatment, active lifestyle improvement is also needed to help control blood pressure.
After stopping the medication blood pressure rises again can go to the hospital to seek professional doctors to develop a suitable antihypertensive program, so as not to delay the condition.
