Four Misunderstandings of hypertension

At present there are 130 million patients with hypertension, accounting for about 10% of the total population. However, people's understanding of hypertension, there are a lot of errors.



1. The drugs are the ideal blood pressure medicine

Buck is not the sole criterion for assessing the efficacy of drugs, nor is it the sole purpose of treatment of hypertension. Buck while protecting target organs, no significant adverse reactions, does not affect lipid metabolism and glucose metabolism, such drugs for long-term use, is the best medicine. In addition, should also be able to suppress and hypertension has synergistic hazards hcy (homocysteine) increased, while at present the only treatment of high blood pressure and high homocysteine in accordance with leaves already on the market.



2. Buck faster, lower, the better the more secure

Blood pressure fell too fast, too low and prone to cerebral ischemia, orthostatic hypotension. In addition to hypertensive crisis, hypertensive encephalopathy in need of emergency relief, the other hypertensive patients, even if the higher blood pressure stage Ⅱ, Ⅲ patients with hypertension should also be smooth and gradual step-down. In addition, when the body is at rest, blood pressure can be naturally decreased by 20%, and in order to sleep 2 hours after the most obvious. Clothes before going to sleep if the patient had blood pressure drugs, two hours is what period of high concentrations of drugs can lead to decreased blood pressure, heart, brain, kidneys and other vital organs insufficient blood supply, leaving patients with fatal cerebral vascular problems. Therefore, according to the human biological clock medication, that is, 9 am to 10 pm, 14 ~ 15 o'clock each with an antihypertensive drug is more safe and effective.



3. Blood pressure to normal is the cure

Any patients when the blood pressure returned to normal after the cure was deemed to have stopped treatment, the results of blood pressure and then relapse, so treatment is very detrimental to the body. Can be selected based on patients with different illnesses and flexible ladder specific drug treatment programs, that is, when all drugs should be used in early childhood doses beginning, and that blood pressure dropped to a predetermined level, and the stability of a period of time (6 months), the types of medication can be reduced , dose, to reduce or eliminate side effects, and insisted on treatment compliance.



4. Feel good about themselves do not need treatment

Because the elderly Yousheng rational degeneration of the stress response is not timely and high blood pressure, its symptoms was not obvious, feel good about themselves automatically stopping and no longer checks, until the severe target organ damage (stroke, high blood pressure kidney disease, myocardial infarction, etc.). Thus, self-cessation of treatment is harmful.
