There is no data to show that patients with essential hypertension do not live past the age of 60, and patients need not be overly stressed. Most patients with hypertension have no particular impact on life expectancy as long as they are treated with strict antihypertensive medication to keep their blood pressure under control. With the change of lifestyle and other factors, the incidence of hypertension in young people is also very high, many patients through lifestyle regulation and adherence to oral antihypertensive drug treatment, for the usual quality of life and life expectancy is not particularly affected. Primary hypertension can affect the life expectancy of patients if complications occur without standard treatment, such as heart failure, kidney failure and other serious complications, especially heart failure, which has a 5-year survival rate of less than half. Therefore, patients with essential hypertension should pay attention to blood pressure control so that they can get a good quality of life and not particularly affect their life expectancy.
