Hypertension is known as a silent killer. No headache, no dizziness, no uncomfortable, so silent development until one day suddenly attack, many people were taken away from life. Some people with hypertension take antihypertensive drugs for a period of time, the blood pressure is normal, you think you can stop the drug, a feeling of bad again on the antihypertensive drugs. In fact, this is harmful to you, is the process of treatment of hypertension patients often fall into the misunderstanding. Some patients after a period of treatment, blood pressure down to the normal range, then often mistakenly believe that their hypertension has been “cured”, can continue to treat or wait for the blood pressure to rise when the treatment. Other patients believe that it is in line with the “economic principle of saving money” to use medication when blood pressure is high and withdraw it when it is low. However, they do not know that this will inevitably lead to high and low blood pressure, and this high and low blood pressure will easily cause damage to the blood vessel wall, increasing permeability, or lipid deposition to harden the blood vessel or even form plaque, blocking the blood vessel. If the blockage occurs in the coronary arteries, it will lead to coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction; in the brain, it will lead to stroke and cerebral infarction; in the renal arteries, it will lead to renal artery stenosis and kidney failure. As we all know, the cause of hypertension is complex, and its cause has not yet been fully understood, so it cannot be cured, but only symptomatic antihypertensive treatment, so you must adhere to lifelong treatment. In addition, certain antihypertensive drugs in the long-term use, is never arbitrary sudden discontinuation of drugs, because there are many antihypertensive drugs in the sudden discontinuation of blood pressure will occur after a sudden increase in blood pressure, resulting in cerebral hemorrhage, tachycardia and other serious consequences. I have encountered many times such patients, irregular medication, eventually led to the occurrence of cerebral hemorrhage, rescued to save the life, but eventually became a permanent disability. Therefore, when your body regulates itself against elevated blood pressure, the symptoms may not be serious or even feel uncomfortable, but this does not mean that there is no damage to your body. Low blood pressure can reduce the amount of medication, but you can’t just stop taking it. Patients with hypertension who take antihypertensive medication for a long time will gradually reduce their blood pressure if they pay attention to the adjustment of their lives, because when patients with hypertension who have just started taking antihypertensive medication, the dose is generally fixed after two to three weeks of adjustment of the dose of antihypertensive medication and the blood pressure is basically normal. Therefore, long-term application of antihypertensive drugs, blood pressure should also be measured at least three times a month. Once the blood pressure is found to be abnormal, most of the day in a quiet state blood pressure as low as 110/70mmHg should be reduced, the specific how to do, we must promptly go to the doctor where the examination by the doctor to adjust the drug dose.
