Medication for patients with high blood pressure.
Medication for patients with hypertension: stabilize blood pressure, not impatient. Mr. Wang, 75, who was rushed to the emergency room with recurrent syncope, has a long history of high blood pressure, but his medication adherence is always unsatisfactory. This time, he was anxious to control his blood pressure because of the temporary rise in blood pressure, so he increased the dose of blood pressure medication without authorization. However, when he arrived at the hospital, his blood pressure was abnormally low at 70 to 50 mm Hg, and he fell into a dangerous state of hypotension.
This incident once again reminds us that the problem of high blood pressure does not happen overnight. Although antihypertensive drugs are effective in controlling blood pressure, their effects take a certain amount of time. Patients should not blindly adjust the dose of medication due to temporary fluctuations in blood pressure. It is normal for blood pressure to fluctuate within a certain range, and there is no need to be overly nervous.
As a patient with high blood pressure, how to take blood pressure medication correctly?
1.Regular monitoring. Blood pressure is measured regularly and changes are recorded to provide a basis for doctors to adjust medications.
2.Take your medication as prescribed. Do not increase or decrease the dose of the drug by yourself, and do not stop the drug at will.
3.Maintain good habits. Eating a reasonable diet, exercising moderately, quitting smoking and limiting alcohol can all help stabilize blood pressure.
High blood pressure is a long-term battle, and patients need to maintain a calm mind, follow the doctor's instructions, and be patient**. Only in this way can we truly achieve long-term stability of blood pressure and enjoy a healthy old age.
