How long one can live with hypertension grade 3 and very high risk cannot be determined, as survival time varies according to individual differences and treatment. Generally, with active treatment, reasonable control of blood pressure and protection of target organs, the natural life expectancy may not be affected; if not actively lowering blood pressure and combined with serious complications, it may have an impact on health and may even cause death in a short time.
If the patient actively controls blood pressure, rationally selects antihypertensive drugs, such as angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors such as captopril and benazepril, calcium antagonists such as nifedipine and felodipine, and controls blood pressure below 140/90 mmHg, and actively treats the underlying diseases such as diabetes mellitus or hyperlipidemia, the natural life span may not be affected.
If patients do not control their blood pressure and develop serious complications such as acute myocardial infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, uremia, and other critical illnesses of the heart, brain, and renal target organs, they will pose a great threat to their health and may even die during the acute phase of the disease.
If the patient belongs to hypertension grade 3 or very high risk, it is recommended to go to the hospital as soon as possible and under the guidance of the doctor for active treatment.
