01 Principles of taking medication for hypertension
Hypertensive patients always have the idea of "taking medication quickly when blood pressure rises". However, this idea is not correct. Experts tell us that only taking medication regularly is the correct method. Below are some medication tips for hypertensive patients.
02 Taking medication without following medical advice
Hypertensive patients should also pay attention to following the doctor's advice when taking medication, and not take medication according to their usual style. Hypertension is not a common disease, and treatment is very important. Improper treatment can easily worsen the condition and cause accidents, so do not take medication according to the doctor's advice.
03 Estimating blood pressure based on intuition
Hypertensive patients should be careful not to measure their blood pressure based on their own feelings. Sometimes there are no symptoms of blood pressure rise or fall, so measuring blood pressure rise or fall based on their own feelings can only lead to serious consequences.
04 Improper medication
Firstly, patients with hypertension should pay attention to avoiding taking medication indiscriminately due to illness. When patients discover signs of hypertension, they must undergo professional examination and receive reasonable medication treatment based on the doctor's knowledge, avoiding self medication.
05 Rapid decrease in blood pressure
Many hypertensive patients believe that lowering blood pressure should be done as quickly as possible, but this is not the case. Generally speaking, except for hypertensive crisis, hypertensive encephalopathy, etc., all other hypertensive patients should steadily and gradually lower their blood pressure, because a rapid and low blood pressure drop not only causes discomfort symptoms such as dizziness and fatigue, but also easily leads to ischemic brain disease.
Reminder: In today's society, there are more and more drugs for treating hypertension, and they are becoming more and more diverse. However, the drugs that are truly suitable for patients themselves still require patients to go to a regular hospital for examination and follow the doctor's advice before taking medication.
