Huyou 1: Several Courses of Treatment to Cure Hypertension
Many unscrupulous businesses advertise that hypertension can be cured by taking certain drugs in a short period of time without recurrence.
The etiology of hypertension has not been thoroughly studied, which is why the seemingly [irresponsible] name of essential hypertension comes into being. The control of hypertension is a long-term process.
The treatment of hypertension is not simply to lower blood pressure. The ultimate goal is to maintain a stable and up-to-standard blood pressure, reduce the damage to organs such as heart, brain and kidney, and improve the long-term quality of life of hypertension patients.
Judging from past clinical experience, some patients with slightly elevated blood pressure can control their blood pressure well by strengthening exercise and adjusting their lifestyle after diagnosis of hypertension.
However, most patients need long-term oral drugs to ensure stable blood pressure. There are also long-term maintenance of stable blood pressure through drugs and lifestyle improvement, which can slowly reduce antihypertensive drugs. Even after drug withdrawal, blood pressure is still stable and reaches the standard. After drug withdrawal, it is also necessary to adhere to a healthy lifestyle.
The treatment plan for hypertension should be adjusted slowly according to each person’s different situation.
Anyone who directly promises several [courses of treatment] to cure hypertension regardless of his illness or living conditions must be a liar.
Huyou 2: [X grass, X fruit, X element…] recuperate the body and lower blood pressure
First of all, China’s laws and regulations clearly stipulate that health care products are not allowed to carry out publicity on therapeutic effects. Any category of health care products that publicizes that [X grass, X fruit, X element…] can lower blood pressure involves illegal publicity.
Some people will say, but I ate XX health care products, blood pressure is really low? Little imagine, health care products are effective is what should be worried about. If there is no effect, it is just to let friends spend some money in vain. It has an effect. It is really killing people.
Although some health care products mainly focus on [natural ingredients], there are other things used to lower blood pressure, such as adding large doses of powerful diuretics. After taking them, blood pressure has dropped and dropped very much. However, in the long run, over-dose use of powerful diuretics will cause electrolyte disturbance, hypokalemia and fatigue in patients. Second, it may cause renal failure.
Standardized drug treatment may also have side effects, but the risk of standardized treatment is controllable. We know that oral drugs are what ingredients, what dosage they have, what major adverse reactions they have, and how to prevent, monitor and reduce these adverse reactions.
However, for non-standard health care products, the main concept is ineffective for antihypertensive, but antihypertensive drugs are secretly added, and patients do not know whether there are what or how many, thus greatly increasing the safety risks.
Huyou 3: High-tech Blood Pressure Reduction
Perhaps you have also seen the promotion of some electromagnetic therapy/special cups/special sofas/special beds, etc., which can also treat hypertension.
This kind of thing, is generally a liar. Still that sentence, blood pressure standard stable is the absolute principle, for those who have not received formal treatment, receive formal treatment as soon as possible, make blood pressure standard stable, long-term maintenance is the best strategy. For those who have received formal treatment, you should know the effect of formal treatment.
As for the high-tech publicity, please believe that doctors are definitely more concerned about the treatment progress of certain diseases than you are. If hypertension can be accurately prevented and cured, it will be a big news that will stir the global medical and even economic circles. You will certainly learn about the new treatment progress from doctors.
Huyou 4: Antihypertensive drugs cannot be expensive at first,
Many patients think so: antihypertensive drugs should be taken cheaply at the beginning. If you take advanced blood pressure at the beginning, your blood pressure cannot be controlled.
Indeed, when choosing antihypertensive drugs for everyone, economic factors should be taken into account. This is not because long-term administration will be resistant to drugs. But antihypertensive drugs need to be taken for a long time. In order to ensure that everyone can maintain treatment for a long time, of course, according to economic conditions and medical insurance regulations, on the premise of achieving the therapeutic effect of diseases, appropriate drugs should be found as soon as possible.
The quality of antihypertensive drugs is not distinguished by price, and what is suitable is good. Moreover, hypertension does not have [drug resistance]. In the process of taking antihypertensive drugs orally, blood pressure control is not ideal. Most of them are changes in the disease condition. They should return to the clinic in time and adjust the types and dosage of antihypertensive drugs.
Huyou 5: Western medicine hurts liver and kidney, and natural is the best.
Now the control and treatment of adverse reactions of oral antihypertensive drugs are very mature. It can be said that hundreds of millions of people in the world are taking antihypertensive drugs every day, and the safety of these drugs is controllable. However, if they are not treated or treated irregularly, the damage to the body is much greater than the risks brought by these regular drugs.
Regarding the treatment of hypertension by traditional Chinese medicine/herbal medicine, recommendations have not been included in various guidelines, including the Chinese people’s own guidelines. Under the condition of receiving modern medical treatment, standardized treatment with definite effect and controllable risks should be preferred.
If traditional Chinese medicine must be used for treatment, considering one’s own health, one must closely monitor one’s blood pressure, understand the toxic and side effects of traditional Chinese medicine, and guard against traditional Chinese medicine that adds western medicine ingredients without permission.
Huyou 6: Antihypertensive drugs are dependent and will never stop once they are taken.
Hypertension needs long-term control. Most patients need long-term medication to maintain the stability of blood pressure, but this does not mean that once they take medication, they cannot stop.
There are some patients with hypertension, Take low doses of antihypertensive drugs orally at the beginning of diagnosis, At the same time, I also strictly adjust my lifestyle, such as changing from driving to walking to commuting, or taking part in regular physical exercises, taking the initiative to take part in some amateur activities to relax my body and mind. Blood pressure drops to the normal range, and after stabilizing, slowly stop taking medicine, blood pressure is still stable and maintained in the normal range. As a pharmacist, I am also happy for them.
However, most patients with hypertension, Once the drug is stopped, the blood pressure is not well controlled and even produces various dangers. It is really necessary to use drugs all the time. However, this is determined by the characteristics of hypertension itself and is not a problem of antihypertensive drugs. It is as if many people have to wear cotton-padded clothes to keep warm in winter. As soon as they take off their cotton-padded clothes, they will be cold. Can they say that cotton-padded clothes are dependent and cannot be taken off once they are worn?
Having said so much, I hope everyone can publicize some resistance to false drugs and health care products. The treatment of hypertension should reach the blood pressure standard, be stable and stick to it for a long time, so as not to delay the standardized treatment of hypertension.
