Elderly people with blood pressure of 170 should not be treated

Elderly people usually need to be managed when their blood pressure reaches 170 mmHg, which is relatively high (normal should be less than 140 mmHg) and the risk of cardiovascular disease is significantly increased. Blood pressure needs to be controlled through lifestyle changes and the use of antihypertensive medications such as timosartan tablets. When the elderly blood pressure reaches 170mmHg for a long time (when the systolic blood pressure is 160~179mmHg clinically usually belongs to the second level of hypertension), it may cause damage to the blood vessel wall, followed by the formation of atherosclerosis, which will cause damage to the target organs such as the heart, the brain, and the kidneys, and the incidence of cerebral infarction, coronary heart disease and other diseases will be greatly increased, which are more serious at this time, and need to be further dealt with. When the blood pressure of the elderly reaches 170mmHg, it is necessary to pay attention to the related treatment, especially to improve the life style, such as reducing mental stress, quitting smoking, limiting alcohol, etc., and under the guidance of the doctor to give medication such as taking enalapril maleate tablets, timosartan tablets, etc., and to pay attention to the treatment of the target organ related damage. Hypertension needs early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment. If the patient is not feeling well, please go to the hospital immediately, complete the relevant examination and follow the doctor’s instructions to standardize the treatment.
