We all know that in my country, there is 1 in every 4 people with hypertension patients.

You may not believe it if you say it. Who doesn’t have a friend who has high blood pressure?

Although hypertension has become so "famous", many people still don't know how powerful it is. This may be because we always associate hypertension with "agency disease" and many young people don't take it seriously.

also because hypertension usually does not have obvious symptoms in the early stages of hypertension, so if you do not actively check and measure it, many people may not know its existence. So for those who have found an increase in blood pressure during measurement, do you have to take antihypertensive drugs immediately?

01 Do you need to take antihypertensive drugs immediately after finding out that your blood pressure is increased?

PART (1) High blood pressure, but cannot be diagnosed as hypertension

Generally speaking, blood pressure will be affected by many factors. High blood pressure does not mean hypertension. If transient blood pressure rises, if blood pressure is measured when you are excited, anxious, angry, staying up late, nervous, etc., the blood pressure may be higher than 140/90mmHg, but if you calm down, the blood pressure may be lower than 140/90mmHg, then you cannot diagnose hypertension and naturally you do not need to take antihypertensive drugs.

Another common situation is white coat hypertension , that is, when we go to the hospital to measure blood pressure, the blood pressure will be high, but if measured at home, the blood pressure will show normal. Therefore, white coat hypertension cannot be diagnosed with hypertension and does not require medication.

Even if you have been diagnosed with hypertension, you do not necessarily need to take antihypertensive drugs immediately.

PART (2) Patients who meet the following 5 conditions do not need to take antihypertensive drugs

(1) New hypertension, that is, the blood pressure was normal before, the blood pressure was high recently, and the blood pressure was high after multiple measurements.

(2) Although there is hypertension, there is no discomfort.

(3) The blood pressure is within 160/100mmHg, which is level 1 hypertension.

(4) Although it is grade 1 hypertension, it does not combine diabetes .

(5) The patient did not have heart, brain, kidney and macrovascular diseases.

also meets the above 5 conditions and can temporarily avoid taking antihypertensive drugs.

The first way to control blood pressure is a healthy lifestyle, and secondly, antihypertensive drugs. Therefore, when you don’t need to take antihypertensive drugs, you should maintain a healthy lifestyle. But if a healthy lifestyle is controlled for 1 to 3 months and the blood pressure is still high, then antihypertensive medication treatment should be initiated.

02 4 situations when taking antihypertensive drugs

PART (1) Grade 2 hypertension

For Grade 2 hypertension, even if it is new to hypertension, the treatment of antihypertensive drugs must be started immediately.

PART (2) Various discomfort symptoms

Whether it is grade 1 hypertension or grade 2 hypertension, as long as hypertension causes symptoms of dizziness, headache, insomnia and other discomforts, antihypertensive drugs must be started immediately.

PART (3) combined with diabetes

No matter what level of hypertension it is, as long as hypertension and diabetes are combined with diabetes, antihypertensive drugs should be started immediately, and the first goal of blood pressure is less than 130/80mmHg. Therefore, even if the blood pressure is 130/80mmHg~140/90mmHg, antihypertensive drugs must be treated.

PART (4) Causes target organ damage

No matter what level of hypertension it is, as long as heart, brain and kidney diseases occur, such as cerebral infarction , cerebral hemorrhage , myocardial infarction, heart failure , coronary heart disease , angina pectoris, kidney disease, etc., antihypertensive drugs should be started immediately.

Once the above four conditions occur, antihypertensive medication treatment must be initiated immediately. But whether you take medicine or not, you must maintain a healthy lifestyle for a long time.
