What disease is hypertension and what symptoms are there?

Hypertension is no stranger to us. There are many hypertensive patients in China, and the onset age of hypertensive patients tends to be younger. Most people think that hypertension is the patent of the elderly, and young people will not suffer from hypertension. A few days ago, Xiao Li, who had just celebrated her 38th birthday, died of a stroke caused by high blood pressure, leaving a starving daughter and a weak wife.

It is not a year or two since Xiao Li suffered from hypertension. Although he is less than forty years old, he is also a person with a history of hypertension for five years. After being diagnosed with hypertension, Xiao Li didn't care at all, and his family thought Xiao Li was too young to take medicine. Sometimes when I measure my blood pressure, I find that my blood pressure has reached 200, but I feel nothing, so I never take it seriously.

In fact, if patients with hypertension are not treated in time, their life expectancy will be younger than those who receive treatment 15~20 years old. The average life expectancy in China is 76 years, but Xiao Li died at the age of 38.

Some people will feel headache, dizziness, tinnitus, insomnia or nausea after their blood pressure rises. But some people don't have any symptoms of hypertension, which is actually more dangerous. No feeling does not mean that high blood pressure is harmless. When the wind or myocardial infarction occurs, it is often too late.

Patients with hypertension should take antihypertensive drugs on time even if they have no symptoms. Although hypertension is divided into primary hypertension and secondary hypertension, more than 90% of patients with hypertension in China are primary hypertension.

There is no cure for essential hypertension, so we can only take medicine for a long time to lower blood pressure. The purpose of taking medicine for hypertensive patients is not only to lower blood pressure, but also to reduce the risk of complications, such as stroke and myocardial infarction.

Hypertensive patients can't change their own medicine when taking medicine. Some hypertensive patients, seeing that the antihypertensive drugs prescribed by doctors are expensive, go to pharmacies to buy cheap antihypertensive drugs, thinking that expensive antihypertensive drugs will produce drug resistance and will not be used for medicine in the future.

In fact, antihypertensive drugs depend on cost performance. Good antihypertensive drugs not only have good antihypertensive effect, but also have few side effects and will not produce drug resistance. You can take it with confidence.

Patients with hypertension should take medicine on time every day, and can't stop taking medicine casually. If you take medicine for three days and fish for two days, it will always lead to unstable blood pressure and more likely to induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

For patients with hypertension, medication is necessary, and attention should also be paid to diet treatment. Dietotherapy and drug therapy occupy the same position. If you don't control your diet, you will eat it unscrupulously, which will also affect the role of drugs and even cause other diseases.

Hypertension is one of the common chronic diseases. If you can take medicine on time and adjust your diet, you will also improve your quality of life and extend the length and width of your life.
