Remind hypertensive patients: To control blood pressure, you need to recognize these 5 major misunderstandings, otherwise blood pressure will be difficult to stabilize!

Relevant data studies show that there are nearly 300 million adults with hypertension in China. According to China's population base, on average, 7 out of 10 adults suffer from hypertension.

　　And among these patients, more than 90% belong to essential hypertension , and the treatment of this disease is relatively difficult.

　　The reason for this is that the etiology of essential hypertension is quite complex, which involves many aspects such as age and gender, genetics, acquired poor living and eating habits, and even personality.

　　Therefore, so far, there is no way to completely cure hypertension in Chinese clinical practice, and patients can only rely on long-term medication to stabilize their blood pressure.

　　However, because of this, many hypertensive patients are prone to fall into some misunderstandings in their daily life, especially the following points:

1. Taking medicine is harmful

　　Some hypertensive patients believe that taking medicines will cause side effects, and long-term medicines may lead to drug resistance or addiction.

　　But in fact, the antihypertensive drugs that we can buy on the market are all marketed after strict clinical trials, and their side effects and efficacy have been completely clarified. As long as there is no discomfort in the body after taking them, this Explain that you can use this drug for treatment .

　　After stopping the drug, the patient will not have the so-called withdrawal reaction, so there is no need to worry too much about addiction and side effects;

2. A drop in blood pressure is the cure

　　After using one or more antihypertensive drugs in combination, the patient's blood pressure does drop, or even returns to normal levels, but this does not mean that hypertension has been cured.

　　In fact , the role of antihypertensive drugs is to stabilize blood pressure, which is the result of the continuous effect of the drug in the body . When the patient blindly reduces or stops the medication, it will not take long for the blood pressure to rise again, or even exceed the original level;

3. It is useless to take antihypertensive drugs for a long time

　　In fact, this is a concept with the drug resistance mentioned above. It is undeniable that many clinical drugs do have drug resistance. However , for antihypertensive drugs, there is no concept of drug resistance .

　　The reason why some patients' blood pressure control is not ideal or even increased after taking the drug is not because the antihypertensive drugs are ineffective, but the result of the further development of the hypertension . At this time, the patients may need combined medication to control the disease;

　　4. Take antihypertensive drugs to control blood pressure

　　In the eyes of many people, the role of antihypertensive drugs is to control blood pressure, so it is enough to take antihypertensive drugs. But in fact, in the clinical view, the treatment of hypertension is a long-term process , and its treatment needs to be carried out comprehensively.

　　For patients to fully stabilize their blood pressure, they not only need to rely on drugs, but also need to adjust their diet, life, exercise, sleep and other aspects . Only in this way can they avoid repeated fluctuations in the condition;

　　5. Health products can lower blood pressure

　　There are many health care products that have an impact on benefits, often exaggerating their effects, and even claiming to have the effect of curing hypertension, which makes many patients see hope.

　　But in fact, any health care product can not replace the medicine to treat the disease, its role is to keep health and health care. Everyone should know that the authoritative medical technology cannot cure essential hypertension. How can a small health product have such a miraculous effect?

　　Finally, it should be emphasized that hypertension is a chronic disease, so its treatment is also a long-term process.

　　Stable blood pressure control in the short term is actually the effect of the drug. What everyone needs to do is not to stop the drug, but to continue the treatment according to the doctor's advice. Only in this way can blood pressure be stabilized and the chance of later complications be reduced.
