Can you stop your hypertension medication?

Hypertension medication must not be stopped. Anti-hypertensive treatment mainly relies on long-term stable blood pressure reduction in order to avoid target organ damage, so antihypertensive drugs require long-term use and monitoring of blood pressure. Some people may think that they can stop taking antihypertensive drugs after taking them orally, because their blood pressure drops more steadily. In this case, patients can reduce the amount of antihypertensive drugs, especially according to the season and the state of life, such as summer vasodilatation, and the work pressure, life pressure are not much, blood pressure than usual to low, then you can adjust the drug, reduce the amount of antihypertensive drugs and monitor blood pressure. But you can’t stop taking the medication, because once you stop taking antihypertensive drugs blood pressure will rebound, and after rebounding up to cause blood pressure fluctuations, so there will be more damage to the target organs. Therefore, for patients who are diagnosed with hypertension, the medication should be taken for life to lower blood pressure smoothly.
