Whether severe hypertension can be cured or not needs to be classified and discussed. If it is secondary hypertension, some of them can be cured by surgery or medication or primary treatment, while primary hypertension is a chronic disease that needs lifelong treatment and cannot be cured.
1. Secondary hypertension: such as renal hypertension, the main treatment of primary disease, strict control of sodium intake, delay the deterioration of renal function; renal vascular hypertension can be improved through interventional surgery, surgery, etc., renal artery stenosis; primary aldosteronism can be treated by surgical resection of adrenal glands, antihypertensive medication, pheochromocytoma, which can be cured by surgical resection.
2. Primary hypertension: Primary hypertension is a long-term chronic disease that cannot be cured. It should be treated by lifestyle intervention, such as reducing weight, reducing sodium intake, supplementing potassium salt, reducing fat intake, reducing mental stress, etc. Antihypertensive drugs (e.g. nifedipine delayed-release tablets, chlorosartan, etc.) should also be taken under the guidance of doctors.
For severe essential hypertension that is difficult to control with medication, renal sympathetic nerve ablation can help with blood pressure control. Essential hypertension is due to a combination of genetic susceptibility and acquired environmental factors and lifestyle habits, and cannot be cured, and patients need to accept the reality of taking medication for a long period of time, or even for life.
When high blood pressure occurs, one should go to a regular hospital in time and be treated under the guidance of a doctor.
