Hypertension is a common incurable chronic disease in middle and old age, its characteristics: high incidence, many complications, most need to take drugs for life. The main danger of hypertension is to cause cardiovascular diseases, such as stroke, coronary heart disease myocardial infarction, etc., the lighter the ability to live reduced, the more serious disability, death, seriously affecting people’s lives and health. Myths of hypertensive patients: 1, many hypertensive patients are reluctant to take long-term medication, blood pressure down to stop taking medication, high again, or simply do not take medication, which is very dangerous. Continuous high blood pressure and ups and downs are likely to cause cardiovascular accidents such as cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral thrombosis, coronary angina, myocardial infarction, renal arteriosclerosis and renal insufficiency. 2, afraid to take a variety of drugs: traditional antihypertensive treatment is a step therapy, that is, a drug effect is not good to increase the dose or change the drug, the effect is not good to add a second drug, the modern treatment concept is moderate to severe hypertension (blood pressure R160/100mmHg), the direct choice of two or more antihypertensive drugs in small doses of combined treatment, so that the drug can strengthen the role of good, side effects offset each other that is, complementary advantages Therefore, do not be afraid to take more medication, depending on whether it is needed. 3, after taking the drug is unchanged, long-term bored to take the drug. People’s blood pressure will be affected by various factors in life, sometimes high and sometimes low, treatment should also be adjusted with the high and low blood pressure. Otherwise, blood pressure can lead to heart and brain and other complications when it is too high, and too low when it causes insufficient blood supply to the heart and brain vessels, and even falls and injuries as a result. Patients with hypertension should learn to monitor their own blood pressure, according to the high and low blood pressure to increase or decrease a small amount of antihypertensive drugs such as reduce half a tablet or add half a tablet, you can also see a doctor to adjust. 4, the faster the blood pressure is lowered the better: rapid blood pressure lowering is likely to cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications, should gradually and gently lower the pressure to maintain stability. 5, other people take medication with good results I also use: hypertension treatment may seem simple but it is very complex, each person’s blood pressure increased for different reasons, systemic conditions, target organs are also different, the choice of drugs is based on the individual situation, so you can not arbitrarily listen to the advice of other patients to change the treatment. A good antihypertensive treatment is to insist on long-term medication, not to have high and low blood pressure, and to lower blood pressure smoothly and permanently, while protecting target organs such as heart, brain and kidney, and reducing complications and death rate. Preferential treatment of hypertension is to choose different antihypertensive drugs according to different causes, that is, personalized treatment. Patients with hypertension should understand their antihypertensive goals, which are below 140/90 mmHg in general patients and below 150/90 mmHg in the elderly. If you have coronary heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease need to be under 130/80mmHg, patients with cerebrovascular disease is not easy to drop too low, in the normal range can be. Patients with hypertension are advised to clarify one concept – the desire to lower blood pressure quickly is not achieved, develop two habits – the habit of measuring blood pressure in the morning and before taking medication, and achieve three insistencies – insist on taking medication, insist on measuring blood pressure and insist on follow-up. Adhere to the medication, measure blood pressure, and follow up.
