Hypertension is extremely common in the population, and according to a sample survey in 2002, it was estimated that there were 200 million people with hypertension in the country. This is not a small number, and if they are all treated with medication, at $5 per person for medication, the annual expenditure for one person is $1,825, or $5,475 at $15. If there are other conditions combined, plus medications to treat those combined conditions, it is much more than that. The fact is that many people, especially urban workers with hypertension, spend much more than that each year. 5475 yuan, or 1825 yuan, is not a light burden for rural residents, so the treatment rate of hypertension is higher in urban than rural areas, in addition to cultural factors, economic aspects can not be an important reason. So is it necessary to take antihypertensive drugs once the blood pressure is high? The answer is no. The reasons are: blood pressure measurement is a technique and the only means to diagnose hypertension, so correct measurement is very important. The second is that there are many causes of high blood pressure, and some temporary causes of high blood pressure can come down after removing them. The following is to talk about which people found to be elevated blood pressure can be observed first, not rushed to use antihypertensive drugs: 1, short-term excessive stress, resulting in a temporary mild increase in blood pressure. Treatment should be based on recuperation, through a period of recuperation, blood pressure can often return to normal. 2, just before measuring blood pressure has exercised, blood pressure mild to moderate elevation, no other conditions. 3.People who lack exercise have mildly elevated blood pressure. 4.People with a salty diet have mildly elevated blood pressure. 5, Elderly people with mildly elevated blood pressure and no other conditions. 6.People who had snoring and had mildly elevated blood pressure due to cold. 7, continuous smoking several cigarettes, drinking alcohol, or eating, drinking coffee immediately measured blood pressure mildly elevated. 8, the initial onset of primary hypertension belongs to 1-2 grade low risk or average risk degree. 9, anxiety disorders and have mildly elevated blood pressure. Of course, there are also many other cases can not immediately use antihypertensive Western medicine, can not be listed. In the above cases of elevated blood pressure, if no urgent problems are combined, you can temporarily observe and not rush to take antihypertensive drugs, but you can determine a relatively reasonable observation period or take some Chinese medicine treatment under the guidance of a doctor according to the different physical states and combined diseases. During the observation period, you should do physical exercise, control salt intake, multi-fiber vegetables and fruits, and treat colds, etc. After the above measures are still not reached, you can reasonably apply antihypertensive drugs for treatment under the guidance of doctors.
