1, long-term use of high blood pressure drugs, will make blood vessels become more and more brittle? Doctors who see such a question will certainly have a lot of thoughts, what is the concept of increasingly brittle blood vessels? Think carefully if it is based on the fact that small arteries throughout the body of hypertensive patients can become diseased and their walls harden, and that long-term high blood pressure and accompanying risk factors can promote the formation and development of atherosclerosis, which can increase the risk of hardening, calcification and aging of blood vessels, which can lead to blood vessels becoming brittle. 2, to know the answer to the question, first let’s look at why hypertensive patients should take antihypertensive drugs? Most hypertensive patients think that the purpose of taking antihypertensive drugs is simply to lower the blood pressure to make it reach the standard, but in fact, the real purpose of taking drugs to lower blood pressure is to prevent and control the complications of hypertension, mainly including cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications, and damage to the corresponding target organs such as the eyes, kidneys and brain. 3, antihypertensive drugs not only do not make the blood vessels become more and more brittle, but also help to delay the hardening of blood vessels. Long-term use of antihypertensive drugs through the control of blood pressure, efforts to lower blood pressure to meet the standard, thereby reducing the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events, can also slow down the speed and degree of atherosclerosis, prevention and control of kidney function damage caused by the sclerosis of the kidney vessels and so on. So in summary, hypertension drugs not only will not make the blood vessels blood vessels become more and more brittle, but can slow down the hardening of the blood vessels, bringing more benefits. 4, taking medicine is not the ultimate purpose, the ultimate goal is to control hypertension, reduce the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular as well as other target organs of health hazards, therefore, in the long-term process of taking antihypertensive drugs, must pay attention to the monitoring of blood pressure, only to confirm the effectiveness of antihypertensive drugs to achieve a smooth control of blood pressure, long-term antihypertensive drugs, in order to allow the body to obtain the maximum health benefits. 5, of course, rely solely on drugs, ignoring lifestyle improvements is also not possible. Many hypertensive patients believe that as long as they adhere to long-term, regular medication can, and ignore their own life and diet structure adjustment, while taking drugs, while continuing to smoke and drink. In fact, a healthy lifestyle (including a reasonable diet, smoking and alcohol cessation, moderate exercise, and psychological balance) is the basis for the treatment of hypertension and should be adhered to over the long term; medication must be based on a healthy lifestyle. Data show that patients who lose about 10 kg of weight will have their blood pressure reduced by 5-20 mmHg. Controlling the intake of sugar and salt, and maintaining the right amount of exercise and a reasonable dietary structure can control the rise of blood pressure in order to better prevent and control vascular sclerosis. In short than not using drugs, taking hypertension drugs has greater benefits for patients, reducing heart, brain, kidney and other organ complications, delaying vascular sclerosis, aging, and can avoid adverse cardiovascular events.
