This is what I often encounter in the clinic hypertensive patients or their family members think, worrying that after taking blood pressure lowering drugs the patient will form dependence or the drugs will cause greater side effects to the patient, some patients even choose some herbs to lower blood pressure and find that the blood pressure is still very high. What to do? First of all, with high blood pressure disease afraid to take blood pressure drugs, worried that after taking blood pressure drugs will have dependence, this idea is wrong. Our goal is to lower blood pressure smoothly and maintain blood pressure stability to prevent irreversible damage to microcirculatory target organs (brain, heart, kidney) caused by excessive blood pressure. Once hypertension causes irreversible damage to organs, the function of the organs becomes impaired, sometimes irreversibly. This can lead to many complications that can affect the normal function of organs and even affect life expectancy. Some of the more common complications include cerebral hemorrhage, heart failure, and hypertensive nephropathy. Secondly, every drug has its unique side effects, and antihypertensive drugs will also have side effects. However, if blood pressure drugs are taken regularly, it is best to take them under the guidance of a doctor, the beneficial effects of drugs to lower blood pressure are far greater than the side effects it has, and sometimes the side effects are negligible. Gu can not overstate the side effects of antihypertensive drugs and not to lower blood pressure in a timely manner. Some patients and family members listen to the wrong understanding of non-medical personnel around the antihypertensive drugs, and do not listen to the guidance of professional doctors, this practice is extremely undesirable, is not a manifestation of scientific trust. Furthermore, some Chinese medicines also have the effect of lowering blood pressure, but often the blood pressure-lowering effect of Chinese medicines is weaker, and sometimes the target value of lowering blood pressure cannot be achieved after obedience and the time of lowering blood pressure is missed, resulting in damage to target organs from continuous high blood pressure, which is undesirable. It is still advisable to take standardized blood pressure lowering medication. Our goals of blood pressure lowering are: to lower blood pressure smoothly, to maintain normal blood pressure level, to maintain cerebral perfusion, and to protect target organs.
