Advice for patients with stage 3 hypertension

  Blood pressure range of stage 3 hypertension Systolic blood pressure ≥ 180 mmHg Diastolic blood pressure ≥ 110 mmHg It is recommended that patients with stage 3 hypertension should choose suitable antihypertensive drugs according to their specific conditions and tolerance and personal wishes or long-term tolerance, and the speed of lowering blood pressure should not be too fast, too fast can cause fainting, while prone to cerebral infarction or induce angina attack, should be adjusted to a slightly higher level of average normal physiological blood pressure It should be adjusted to a level slightly higher than the average normal physiological blood pressure, generally not lower than 70%-80% of the normal blood pressure value, in order to adapt to the blood flow of the heart, brain and kidneys.  Long-acting preparations should be applied as much as possible, i.e., long-acting drugs that are given once a day and have a continuous 24-hour antihypertensive effect, which can more effectively prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications. If short- and medium-acting agents are used, they should be administered 2-3 times a day to smoothly control blood pressure. 3 stage hypertension often requires combination therapy in order to achieve the target blood pressure, which can be started with a combination of two drugs in small doses, or with a small fixed compound.  In addition, long-term, regular exercise can effectively assist in lowering blood pressure, improving blood circulation and patient mood, improving patient mobility and quality of life, and is an essential part of hypertension treatment. Exercise should be of small to medium intensity, longer duration, and power exercises for large muscle groups, as well as various types of relaxation activities. Specific medication needs to be based on the clinician’s diagnosis.
