Eating food cannot achieve the effect of lowering blood pressure, when the systolic blood pressure ≥ 140mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 90mmHg, should take antihypertensive drug treatment. Diuretics, β-blockers, calcium channel blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor antagonists can be used for treatment.
1. Diuretics: Hydrochlorothiazide and furosemide are commonly used to reduce blood pressure by lowering the circulating blood volume, which is suitable for patients with elevated blood pressure accompanied by edema, and is often used in combination with other antihypertensive drugs.
2. β-blockers: commonly used are metoprolol succinate and metoprolol tartrate, which can lower blood pressure by slowing down the heart rate and reducing the myocardial load, and are not recommended to be used in patients with slow heart rate.
3. Calcium channel blockers: commonly used are amlodipine benzenesulfonate and nifedipine, which are suitable for hypertension in the elderly and have certain protective effect on the heart.
4. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors: commonly used are enalapril, which can protect the heart and inhibit ventricular remodeling at the same time of lowering blood pressure, and are preferred by patients without contraindications.
5. Angiotensin II receptor antagonist: valsartan is commonly used for patients who cannot use angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors.
In taking antihypertensive drugs at the same time should also pay attention to the adjustment of the diet structure, should be strictly low-salt and low-fat diet, the daily intake of salt does not exceed 6 g. At the same time to maintain good living habits, moderate exercise, avoid staying up late, quit smoking and drinking.
