Hypertension is a chronic disease, for most patients with hypertension, long-term drug treatment is needed so that patients can effectively control their blood pressure for a long time, thus reducing the damage to target organs such as the heart, brain and kidneys, and stopping the drug at will may cause patients to experience rebound hypertension and other adverse consequences. Therefore, patients should take medication continuously for a long period of time and should not stop treatment at will.
Hypertensive patients are generally recommended to control their blood pressure below 140/90mmHg, and the patient’s blood pressure dropped to 170/100mmHg after taking the medication, which has not yet reached the ideal target value of blood pressure control, so he should continue to take the medication.
Hypertensive patients should have regular review and adjust the treatment program under the guidance of the doctor, and should not stop the medication or change the treatment program arbitrarily, in order to avoid delays in the condition and adverse consequences.
