The statement that hypertension can live up to 20 years is false. Patients who are diagnosed with hypertension should be given risk stratification to decide whether oral antihypertensive drugs are needed. If oral antihypertensive drugs are needed, it is recommended to take regular oral antihypertensive drugs, improve lifestyle habits, limit salt intake, low-fat diet, relax, exercise appropriately, monitor blood pressure regularly, review blood lipids, blood glucose and blood uric acid regularly, and prevent the occurrence of hypertension complications. If hypertension is diagnosed without regular blood pressure lowering and without preventing the occurrence of hypertension complications, this condition will make blood pressure fluctuate more and develop hypertension complications, which may affect the life expectancy of hypertensive patients. Patients with hypertension usually do not have an impact on their life expectancy as long as they keep their blood pressure under control, regularly evaluate the arterial blood vessels of hypertensive patients, prevent the occurrence of hypertensive complications, and monitor their blood pressure so that it fluctuates in the ideal state and avoid too much fluctuation.
