Precautions for hypertension medication.

  1, the diagnosis should be rigorous: primary hypertension diagnosis is very serious, not that the measurement of a high blood pressure, the diagnosis of hypertension and medication, by a professional doctor to confirm the diagnosis of primary hypertension (hereinafter referred to as hypertension), before the use of drugs.  2, lifelong to take medication: hypertension medication, should be taken for life, during the medication to monitor blood pressure, in order to change the amount of medication and drug varieties at any time. Hypertension patients should improve compliance with long-term treatment (it is best to find a doctor who understands your condition, long-term communication, consultation. Patients should have a certain understanding of hypertension, doctor-patient cooperation in the management of hypertension).  3, medication should be scientific and regular, do not believe in health care products: at present, the treatment of hypertension in various countries have issued guidelines, and updated every year, any exaggerated efficacy of health care products can not replace the regular treatment, as a chief physician, as a member of the party I cry out: our media, do not publish exaggerated efficacy of health care advertising, to treat the disease with a scientific attitude. Whenever we see health care products advertised in newspapers and other media with exaggerated efficacy, we medical workers are saddened to see patients with strokes induced by drug withdrawal, our hearts are like a knife!  Once again: hypertension patients should adhere to take the service, not to interrupt, and not to stop or change the medication. If you take the medication effectively, you should adhere to it, if intermittent or self-stopping medication, will cause blood pressure fluctuations, will cause strokes, coronary heart disease and other adverse events. We often advise patients “love family should adhere to the medication (health is a guarantee of family happiness), love the country should adhere to the medication (blood pressure stability, reduce the occurrence of strokes, coronary heart disease and other adverse events, for the country to save medical resources).  4, hypertension medication should be individualized, each person’s specific situation is different, there are differences in medication. For example, hypotensive drugs have a certain impact on sexual function, young patients should choose angiotensin system inhibitors, the least impact on sexual function. Some people have poor heart function, it is appropriate to use diuretics, which can enhance the antihypertensive effect of angiotensin system inhibitors. Older people tend to have high systolic blood pressure, and the calcium antagonists have the best systolic blood pressure lowering effect …….  5, the time to take medication according to the specific situation, closely follow the doctor’s instructions. If you have morning peak hypertension, you should take your hypertension medication within 15 minutes of waking up.  6, to use long-acting antihypertensive drugs as far as possible, maintain blood pressure 24 hours stable, reduce fluctuations; for refractory hypertension advocate the combination of drugs.  7, long-term monitoring of blood pressure: pay attention to the frequent measurement of blood pressure, to maintain blood pressure in a more stable range of the ideal long-term.  8, in order to prevent stroke, coronary heart disease, renal insufficiency, to follow the doctor’s instructions for regular review. If symptoms such as dizziness and headache, nausea and vomiting, palpitations, chest tightness, pain in the precordial region, blurred vision, numbness in the limbs, etc. occur, go to the hospital promptly.
