For hypertensive patients, lowering the blood pressure value is the hard truth, which can reduce the occurrence of heart, brain and kidney complications. However, lowering blood pressure is not so simple, many people lowering blood pressure method is not scientific, some are into the misunderstanding, the result is not only blood pressure is not up to standard, but also produced new harm. Misconception one: the use of antihypertensive table, antihypertensive pillow and other devices to treat hypertension. Can the blood pressure table, antihypertensive pillow lower blood pressure? Many patients think that they can, because some patients do lower their blood pressure after wearing a blood pressure table, what is going on? First of all, I can responsibly tell you that the antihypertensive table, antihypertensive pillow is not effective, but why will lower blood pressure? The reason is this: our normal human blood pressure is changing all the time, and there are many factors that affect blood pressure. Even if you do not use antihypertensive drugs, blood pressure will drop when it is relatively low, at this time, patients and friends will think that the antihypertensive table works, in fact, it is a natural law, then if you want to determine whether there is an effect of antihypertensive, you can compare the same time period on different days, for example, today at 7 o’clock and tomorrow, the day after tomorrow at 7 o’clock, to see if there is a change. Myth 2: Drugs that lower blood pressure quickly and cheaply are best, and drugs that lower blood pressure slowly are not good. Many patients in the treatment of hypertension is particularly anxious, can not take drugs today and tomorrow to normal, in order to make the blood pressure drop quickly, eat some relatively cheap, fast antihypertensive drugs, such as nifedipine tablets. This is dangerous, because in patients with long-term hypertension, the brain and many other important organs have adapted to the high pressure, high perfusion body state, if the blood pressure drops rapidly at this time, it will lead to acute brain and other organs insufficient blood supply, the light dizziness, dizziness, serious limb movement disorders, and even dangerous. The correct approach is to choose long-acting, smooth-acting antihypertensive drugs after professional assessment by a doctor, so that the blood pressure adapts and drops smoothly to the ideal level in a longer period of time (usually 4-6 weeks), which not only achieves the purpose of lowering blood pressure, but also avoids the occurrence of danger. Myth 3: Take medicine when blood pressure is high, not high not to eat. Many patients in the treatment of hypertension are high when the fierce take drugs, normal rushed to stop drugs, worrying about eating the blood pressure low. This approach is very unscientific and harmful. If your doctor has your blood pressure stabilization, we must adhere to take antihypertensive drugs, do not suddenly stop, because antihypertensive drugs after a few half-life (that is, after taking 3-5 days) has reached homeostasis, taking antihypertensive drugs every day is to maintain the blood concentration of antihypertensive drugs, (every day antihypertensive drugs are metabolized part), if completely stopped, when the antihypertensive drugs metabolized out, blood pressure will appear Studies have shown that hypertensive patients with large fluctuations are more likely to be at risk than those with stable blood pressure. Myth #4: Just take your medication when you have high blood pressure and don’t do any tests. Once a patient is found to have hypertension, it is recommended that all organs should be examined immediately. Hypertension often develops insidiously and rises gradually, and many patients have high blood pressure without any symptoms, so the early detection of hypertension is delayed. According to the test results, choose the appropriate antihypertensive drugs, especially choose antihypertensive drugs that have a protective effect on target organs, and actively control blood pressure and complications. Misconception 5: Things are good in other families, others take good effect of the drug, I also eat. Many patients pay special attention to their own bodies. They find that relatives and friends eat antihypertensive drugs are better, feel good results, also buy to eat, such a practice is also very unscientific. There are no good or bad antihypertensive drugs, only suitable or not. Each kind of antihypertensive drugs have their own indications and contraindications, for example, ACEI class (such as captopril, captopril) antihypertensive drugs, the class of drugs to lower blood pressure at the same time will have a protective effect on the myocardium, so for patients with heart failure or myocardial infarction with hypertension can be preferred to ACEI class antihypertensive drugs to treat hypertension. Therefore, when the patient is diagnosed with hypertension should immediately go to the hospital to do the appropriate examination, by the doctor to develop your antihypertensive program, and then adhere to long-term antihypertensive drugs, do not easily change, if not adapt to immediately seek medical care to let the professional doctor to adjust your antihypertensive drugs. In short, lowering blood pressure is not “that simple”, correct and effective control of blood pressure is the key to avoid cardiovascular complications.
