Many people believe that “medicine is three points of poison”, drugs can not eat as much as possible, must eat as little as possible, so some hypertensive patients once the blood pressure dropped to the normal range, will be unauthorized to stop the drug. Patients with hypertension usually do not have obvious discomfort, only when the blood pressure is very high will have dizziness, headaches and other symptoms, patients often mistakenly believe that no symptoms blood pressure is normal or hypertension has improved, I do not know, at this time hypertension has been quietly endangering your health. Is hypertension cured when blood pressure is normal after stopping antihypertensive drugs? The presence of drugs in the human body takes about three weeks to be completely excreted from the body, when taking antihypertensive drugs for a long time, even if the antihypertensive drugs are completely stopped for a short period of time, there will be accumulation in the body will not make the blood pressure rise immediately. Once the drug has been stopped for a certain period of time, 2-3 weeks later, the drug disappears from the body, the antihypertensive effect does not exist, and the blood pressure returns to its original high level. The blood pressure level is the result of the interaction between the human neuroendocrine regulatory system and the heart and vascular system, and the comprehensive balance. When blood pressure rises again without the patient being aware of it, it poses a very serious risk of cardiovascular disease. Therefore, patients need to adhere to long-term medication in order to control blood pressure and reduce the patient’s risk of stroke, myocardial infarction and other diseases. Low blood pressure can reduce the amount of medication, but can not just stop Hypertension patients with long-term use of antihypertensive drugs, if attention with life adjustments, blood pressure will gradually reduce. Therefore, long-term application of antihypertensive drugs, at least three times a month should also be measured blood pressure. Once abnormal blood pressure is detected, the dose should be reduced if the blood pressure is as low as 110/70 mmHg in a quiet state for most of the day. When the blood pressure is low, go to the doctor promptly for examination and have the doctor adjust the drug dose. Do not stop the medication when you think your blood pressure is normal. Hypertension is very difficult to cure, and most patients take medication almost for life. Otherwise, blood pressure will rebound to the original level of hypertension, some patients will even appear higher than the original blood pressure after discontinuing antihypertensive drugs, the need to increase the dosage of antihypertensive drugs to make blood pressure back to normal, more likely to lead to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease accidents. Start taking antihypertensive drugs, the effect is not good to change the drug? Patients with hypertension who have just started taking antihypertensive medication should have their blood pressure measured at least once a day for the first two weeks of taking the medication. Then adjust the dosage according to the fluctuation of blood pressure, and after roughly three weeks, you can basically control the blood pressure to the normal range, and then basically fix the dosage and insist on taking it. Some patients with hypertension are impatient and think that the medication is ineffective when their blood pressure does not drop after three days of use, and want to change the medication. This is not true, a drug should be used for at least three weeks to achieve the best effect, that is to say, just started taking antihypertensive drugs, blood pressure in a short period of time although not back to normal, do not add drugs or change another antihypertensive drugs, but observe three weeks later, blood pressure is not normal high, and then adjust antihypertensive drugs. Unless it is a hypertensive emergency, generally do not switch antihypertensive drugs within a short period of time, and insist on using enough courses of treatment.
