One of Huazi's buddies has just been diagnosed with high blood pressure, high pressure 150mmHg, low pressure 95mmHg. He asked Huazi with a sad face, is he going to become a medicine jar in the future, and he can't stop taking medicine for a lifetime? Huazi told him that taking antihypertensive drugs regularly is the best way to deal with high blood pressure, but some high blood pressure does not need to be rushed to take medicine.
Now many people understand the harm of high blood pressure to the body, after the diagnosis of high blood pressure, they are worried that it will lead to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and they are anxious to take medicine. But in fact, patients with hypertension who meet some conditions can temporarily skip medication.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" >, what kind of high blood pressure can not take medicine for a while</h1>
1. Although the blood pressure value of hypertension found for the first time reaches the diagnostic standard of hypertension of 140/90mmHg, it does not exceed the secondary standard of hypertension of 160/100mmHg.
2. There are less than 2 of the following risk factors, including age of males greater than 55 years old, or women greater than 65 years of age; smokers; abnormal blood sugar; dyslipidemia; family history of early-onset cardiovascular disease; abdominal obesity (male waist circumference greater than 90 cm, female waist circumference greater than 85 cm).
3. There are no following hypertensive comorbidities, such as left ventricular hypertrophy, carotid atherosclerotic plaques, renal insufficiency (there is trace protein in the urine or elevated blood creatinine level); coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, stroke, atrial fibrillation and other cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases; peripheral vascular diseases; kidney disease; retinopathy; diabetes.
Patients with hypertension who meet the above 3 conditions at the same time can temporarily skip medication.

Not taking medicine does not mean that high blood pressure can not be treated, but mildly elevated blood pressure, no complications, risk factors are not much, you can first change your lifestyle, high blood pressure can be treated non-drug. If blood pressure can be controlled normally within 3 to 6 months, it can be dispensed with drugs, and if non-pharmacological methods are ineffective, drug therapy is needed.
1, salt restriction: sodium ions in salt is an important factor inducing hypertension, it is recommended that people with hypertension, the daily intake of salt should be controlled between 3 and 6 grams. Low-sodium salts with potassium chloride can be used during cooking, and potassium ions in it help drain sodium.
2. Weight loss: people who exceed weight need to lose weight, and reducing fat accumulation can reduce peripheral vascular resistance and reduce blood pressure.
3. Exercise: exercise can increase the elasticity of blood vessels, and the effect of reducing low pressure is good. Choose moderate-intensity aerobic exercise for more than 30 minutes each time, not less than 5 times a week. In addition, 2 more strength exercises per week promote muscle growth and increase basal metabolism.
4, healthy diet: replace one-third of the staple food with coarse grains and miscellaneous grains, eat less high-oil and high-sugar foods, and the daily intake of oil and fat should not exceed 25 grams, and the added sugar should not exceed 50 grams. Vegetables can be eaten more, but it is best to eat more than half a catty of fruit every day, because the fruit contains fructose, and eating more will also make you fat.
5. Quit smoking and limit alcohol: cigarettes will not only harm the respiratory tract, but also induce lung cancer, and the harm to cardiovascular disease is not lower than that of hypertension. If people with high blood pressure smoke at the same time, they basically cannot escape the fate of coronary heart disease. The impact of alcohol on the body, in a short period of time will reduce blood pressure, long-term effects will rise in blood pressure, so it is best to do not stick to the drops of alcohol, if it is difficult to quit drinking, it is necessary to achieve a daily alcohol intake of no more than 25 grams.
6. Stabilize emotions: long-term anxiety, nervousness, depression and other bad emotions will lead to sympathetic excitement, causing excessive release of catecholamine hormones, resulting in increased blood pressure. More activities beneficial to the body and mind such as outdoor exercise, mountaineering, calligraphy, reading, and making friends can help stabilize emotions and control blood pressure.
To sum up, when hypertension is first discovered, if there are not many risk factors and there is no complicated disease, you can temporarily skip medication. Life interventions are carried out over a period of 3 to 6 months, and blood pressure is controlled by non-pharmacological methods. However, after 3 to 6 months, you still can't control your blood pressure, so you have to find a doctor for diagnosis and treatment, and take antihypertensive drugs under the guidance of a doctor. If you have any doubts about medication, please consult a doctor and pharmacist in time. I am a pharmacist Huazi, welcome to follow me and share more health knowledge.
