This question is a topic that many friends with high blood pressure in front of the mobile phone especially want to ask, in fact, it is not easy to answer this topic, if you want to explain it to everyone, it must be a specific analysis of the specific situation. Today I will tell you a few examples.
First of all, high blood pressure, many people definitely do not want to take medicine in their hearts, the most important thing they want to do is not to take medicine, through the improvement of lifestyle can not adjust back. This idea is that almost everyone who has just been diagnosed with high blood pressure will have this idea. This is understandable, but Dr. Zhang wants to tell everyone that not every patient with high blood pressure can adjust their blood pressure by improving their lifestyle. Generally speaking, only a small number of people can adjust their blood pressure by improving their lifestyle, for example, some people are younger, because of a bad lifestyle and a slight increase in blood pressure, for example, blood pressure has just been around 140/90mmHg, and it has been diagnosed as primary hypertension after formal diagnosis and treatment. These people can consider improving the lifestyle for a period of time, and because the disease is mild and young, you can consider improving the lifestyle first, and some people can slowly return to normal after the improvement of lifestyle. This does exist.
Secondly, for more patients with hypertension, such as a significant increase in blood pressure, patients with primary hypertension above grade 2 hypertension, and those who have been diagnosed with secondary hypertension, it is difficult to reduce blood pressure to normal by improving lifestyle. For example, if a patient with initial hypertension has a blood pressure of more than 160/100mmHg, it is necessary to start antihypertensive drug treatment immediately, and can no longer blindly rely on lifestyle improvement, because this is almost impossible. At the same time, for some patients with secondary hypertension, it is not possible to expect to improve lifestyle to lower elevated blood pressure.
It is true that improving the lifestyle can improve blood pressure, but it is difficult for many people to adjust their blood pressure at once by improving their lifestyle, which is also a reality. Therefore, I recommend that all patients with hypertension should pay attention to improving their lifestyle, but this may not be enough, and the remaining problem is to treat it well under the guidance of professional doctors, so that blood pressure can reach the standard so that more patients with hypertension can prolong their lives and enjoy a better life.
