How to stop medication in hypertensive patients

Patients with hypertension should not stop taking their medication at will. In the case of secondary hypertension, medication should be taken when the blood pressure is high, and the medication can be stopped when the original cause of the high blood pressure is found and the original cause is cured and the blood pressure returns to normal. In the case of primary hypertension, long-term and regular medication is required. If the blood pressure is low after a period of medication, you can first reduce the dose of antihypertensive drugs and pay attention to monitoring blood pressure. If the blood pressure is still low, you can stop the medication for observation to avoid hypoperfusion caused by low blood pressure, which affects the blood supply to the heart, brain, kidneys and other important organs. After stopping the medication, if there has been no high blood pressure, you can stop the medication, but the blood pressure still needs to be closely monitored.
