There are usually no symptoms in the early stages of hypertension. Symptoms such as dizziness and headache may occur, which may not seem to be a big problem. But everyone must have heard that "high blood pressure cannot be cured, it can only be controlled." So the question is, do you have to take medicine for the rest of your life if you have high blood pressure? In fact, this is a misunderstanding. There are more than one way to control high blood pressure. In addition to taking medicine, changing your lifestyle habits can also achieve control effects. Eat a healthy diet, eat less salt, quit smoking and drinking Exercise and control your weight Regular work and rest time Reduce psychological stress Specific measures vary from person to person. People with high blood pressure caused by obesity should lose weight. People who are anxious and sleep deprived can also control their blood pressure by improving their mood. If you persist for a period of time and find that it works, then congratulations, you can continue to control your blood pressure in this "health-preserving" way. As for whether to completely give up taking medicine, you should make a decision based on factors such as blood pressure control and whether the cause of the disease has been eliminated. It is best to consult a doctor. Of course, it is difficult for most people to stick to these measures. Stress in life and bad mood are inevitable. Losing weight is not so easy, or certain diseases affect the body and are difficult to control. In this case, drug treatment is needed. Once the medication is stopped, high blood pressure may rebound, and in this case, medication will be required for life. Generally speaking, most people need to take medication for life, which shows how difficult it is to control blood pressure by changing lifestyle habits. In any case, it is recommended to check blood pressure regularly. Because once blood pressure is too high, it is still very dangerous, causing damage to the heart, kidneys, brain, and blood vessels throughout the body. It is the most important risk factor for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, coronary heart disease, and stroke. Having high blood pressure will add a lot of trouble to your life. You can't eat this or that, and it's dangerous. So everyone should try to prevent it when they are healthy. 1 Develop healthy living habits First of all, smoking and drinking are independent risk factors for inducing hypertension. Secondly, a diet high in salt can easily induce high blood pressure, so it is best to get used to a light diet. Finally, lose weight, control your food intake, eat more vegetables and whole grains, and exercise more. 2 Drug prevention Some obese, high-fat, and diabetic groups (who find it difficult to control their diet or lose weight through exercise) can use some lipid-lowering, blood sugar-lowering, or even weight-loss drugs as assistance. Of course, they must follow the doctor's advice and never take medicine without authorization. Everyone should have realized that a comfortable and affluent lifestyle is not necessarily healthy, and a truly high-quality life should be self-disciplined and moderate. High blood pressure is like a test standard for lifestyle, and I hope everyone can pass it and control their blood pressure. Author: Lina |
