The "China Cardiovascular Diseases Report 2017" shows that the death of cardiovascular disease in China accounts for more than 40% of the deaths of residents. Among them, the awareness rate, treatment rate and control rate of hypertension are only 46.5%, 41.1% and 13.8%, respectively. This kind of situation is incommensurable with the patient's lack of understanding of hypertension and the frequent mistakes in medication.
Error one: Antihypertensive drugs cannot be eaten casually. One can't stop eating. The danger of high blood pressure is a long-term, silent process. Through continuous damage to the body's large, medium, and small blood vessels, it gradually damages the heart, brain, kidneys and other vital organs. The earlier the blood pressure is controlled at an appropriate level, the better the blood vessels can be protected, the dysfunction of important organs such as heart, brain, and kidney can be prevented, and the occurrence of serious complications such as myocardial infarction, heart failure, stroke, and renal failure can be avoided. Hypertension can make blood pressure reach the standard by adhering to a healthy lifestyle. Other high blood pressure should start drug treatment as soon as possible.
Mistake 2: Antihypertensive drugs have side effects and can't be eaten without food. Many drugs have side effects, but their effects are not serious and controllable. In contrast, the dangers caused by refusal to take medicine will certainly occur. And the continued existence of regular antihypertensive medications, benefits far outweighs the disadvantages.
Error No. 3: No feeling is no problem, no need to take medicine. Many patients with hypertension are without any symptoms, but with or without discomfort, the dangers of high blood pressure are always present. It must not be decided by feeling.
Error 4: If you have high blood pressure, take the medicine. If you are normal, then stop the medicine. More than 95% of the hypertension belongs to 'primary hypertension' and can only be controlled and cannot be cured. This means that the hypertensive patient is called ' "Normal blood pressure" is just a state after drug treatment. The time of drug action is limited. Once the drug is stopped, the drug efficacy will disappear and the blood pressure will rise again. Therefore, antihypertensive treatment must be adhered to and cannot be stopped without authorization.
Error 5: Can't use good medicine from the start, otherwise no medicine is available afterwards. Lowering blood pressure is the core role of antihypertensive drugs. It can be a good medicine to lower blood pressure. If you must distinguish between 'good' and 'good', 'good' The reason why the antihypertensive drugs are good is because they can also play an extra role in protecting the heart, brain, kidneys and other organs. It is not possible to use other antihypertensive drugs without these 'good' drugs.
Mistake 6: There is a need to change drugs every few years. There are five types of commonly used antihypertensive drugs. The best drug for a patient needs a comprehensive judgment of a professional doctor. Once the antihypertensive regimen is set, you must adhere to treatment and monitoring. If the blood pressure is stable, it should not be easy to change the medicine. Only if the blood pressure fluctuates significantly, it is necessary to adjust the plan under the guidance of a doctor.
Error 7: The blood pressure should be lowered as soon as possible, the lower the better. From the diagnosis of hypertension to control of blood pressure to achieve the standard, it takes 2 to 3 months for the time to be reasonable. Too fast, too much blood pressure, there will be larger Hypotensive risk is likely to be fatal. Blood pressure is not 'lower is better', different patients have slightly different blood pressure goals, and the best is the best.
Mistake 8: Health products, physiotherapy devices, etc. have no side effects, and are better than antihypertensive drugs. For primary hypertension, there is currently no health care product. Physiotherapy equipment can achieve effective blood pressure reduction or even 'cure'. The doctor has no objection. On the basis of regular treatment, health care products, physiotherapy, etc. are used as an aid, but they are strongly opposed to using these alternatives for regular drug treatment.
Error No. 9: Only taking medicines and not monitoring. Many patients with hypertension have consciously taken medicines, but their blood pressure control is good, but their hearts are not counted. Hypertension patients must develop a habit of monitoring blood pressure and recording. Blood pressure is unstable or The non-achieving person measures at least 3 times a day, and then continuously monitors the patient for 3 to 5 days before adjusting the program until he reaches a stable standard. If the person has stabilized, monitor it once a day or every day for a week.
Error 10: High blood pressure can be treated as long as you take medicine. Hypertension, like most cardiovascular diseases, is a lifestyle disease. Unhealthy lifestyle can greatly increase the risk of disease and affect the efficacy of treatment. Patients with cardiovascular disease should attach great importance to lifestyle The improvement, to achieve a low-salt diet, balanced nutrition, weight control, smoking cessation of alcohol, moderate exercise, sleep and psychological balance.
