High blood pressure, for us is not strange at all. There are more hypertensive patients in China, and the age of onset of hypertension tends to be younger. Most people think that high blood pressure is the patent of the elderly, young people will not suffer from high blood pressure. A few days ago, just after his 38th birthday, Li, because of high blood pressure caused by a stroke and left the world, leaving behind a wailing daughter and a frail wife.

Lee had been suffering from high blood pressure for more than a year or two, and although he was not yet 40 years old, he had a five-year history of high blood pressure. After being diagnosed with high blood pressure, Xiao Li did not care at all, and his family thought that Xiao Li was young and could get by without medication. Sometimes when measuring the blood pressure, I found my own has reached 200, but also do not have any feeling, also never take it seriously.

In fact, if hypertensive patients are not treated in time, their life expectancy will be 15 to 20 years smaller than those who are treated. While the average life expectancy of Chinese people is 76 years, Li went like this at the age of 38.

After blood pressure rises, some people feel headaches, dizziness, ringing in the ears, insomnia or nausea. But some people don't show any symptoms of high blood pressure, a condition that is actually more dangerous. Not feeling it doesn't mean high blood pressure isn't harmful, and by the time a stroke or heart attack occurs, it's often too late.

People with high blood pressure should take their antihypertensive medication on time, even if they don't experience any physical symptoms. Although hypertension is categorized into primary and secondary hypertension, more than 90 percent of hypertensive patients in China have primary hypertension.

Primary hypertension, there is no cure, only long-term medication to reduce blood pressure. The purpose of taking medication for hypertension is not only to lower blood pressure, but also to reduce the risk of complications, such as stroke, heart attack, and so on.

Patients with high blood pressure can't just change their medications on their own when they take them. Some hypertensive patients, when they see the doctor prescribed antihypertensive drugs are more expensive, they go to the pharmacy to buy cheaper antihypertensive drugs, thinking that expensive antihypertensive drugs will lead to the emergence of drug resistance, and there will be no drugs can be used in the future.

In fact, antihypertensive drugs should look at the cost-effective, good antihypertensive drugs are not only good antihypertensive effect, but also fewer side effects, and will not produce drug resistance, you can rest assured to take.

High blood pressure patients, every day to take medication on time, can not just stop taking medication. If the medication is taken for three days, the blood pressure will always be in an unstable state, which is more likely to induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

For hypertensive patients, drug treatment is necessary, but also pay attention to dietary treatment. Dietary treatment and drug treatment occupies the same position, if you do not control the diet, or eat recklessly, the result will also affect the role of drugs, and even other diseases will occur.

High blood pressure, is one of the common chronic diseases. If you can take your medication on time and adjust your diet, you will also improve your quality of life, and the length and breadth of your life will be extended.
