The purpose of taking antihypertensive drugs is to reduce the burden on the heart and reduce the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Harm of hypertension without taking medicine 1. Hypertension is an abnormal increase of pressure in arterial blood vessels. Arteries and blood vessels are like running water pipes, and the heart is like a water pump. If the pressure in the pipe rises abnormally, the pump will pump the water into the pipe with greater strength. Over time, the pump will be damaged due to fatigue. Long-term hypertension, if not promptly and effectively depressurized, will cause compensatory hypertrophy and enlargement of the heart due to overwork, and then lead to functional failure, which is one of the causes of hypertensive heart disease and heart failure.

Harm of hypertension without taking medicine 2. If the intravascular pressure is too high, the pipeline in the fragile and hardened part will easily burst, which will occur in the cerebrovascular disease, causing cerebrovascular injury and suffering from cerebrovascular disease.

Harm of hypertension without taking medicine 3. The kidney is an extremely rich capillary network. Under the influence of long-term hypertension, this fine pipeline will be hardened, narrowed and damaged, which will damage the function of removing body toxins from the renal capillary network, and toxic substances in the body will be stored in the blood, which will develop into renal failure and uremia.

Harm of hypertension without taking medicine 4. If hypertension is not controlled in time and effectively, three important vital organs, heart, brain and kidney, will be fatally damaged, resulting in serious complications, such as heart-hypertensive heart disease, coronary heart disease and heart failure; Brain-hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction; Kidney-renal failure, uremia.
