It is incorrect to say that the life expectancy of hypertensive patients is shorter than that of normal people. If hypertensive patients take regular oral medication, lower their blood pressure to the ideal state and prevent blood pressure fluctuations, maintain a regular life in general, have a low salt and low fat diet, limit salt intake to less than 6g per day, pay attention to rest, exercise properly, monitor blood pressure and prevent the occurrence of hypertensive complications, the life expectancy of hypertensive patients will not be affected. Patients with hypertension should regularly perform assessments related to risk factors and give symptomatic treatment to prevent hypertensive complications. If hypertensive patients do not lower their blood pressure regularly and lead an irregular life, complications of hypertension may occur, such as acute cerebral infarction, acute cerebral hemorrhage, acute myocardial infarction, and the occurrence of complications such as renal insufficiency, which can affect the life expectancy of patients, and this condition can make the life expectancy of hypertensive patients shorter than normal.
