The antihypertensive drug must be taken "for a lifetime"? In these cases, the drug can be stopped

       Stable blood pressure can be stopped, which is one-sided and unscientific understanding.

　　Primary hypertension is a lifelong chronic disease. Although hypertension has not been cured, it can be controlled within a relatively safe range through appropriate drugs and a healthy lifestyle, which can reduce the damage to the heart, brain, kidney and other organs caused by hypertension and other complications.

　　Therefore, active, long-term and regular drug treatment is the most reliable method to control hypertension and prevent complications.

　　At the same time, the normal control of blood pressure is the result of antihypertensive drugs.

　　If you stop using antihypertensive drugs rashly, the blood pressure will start to rise again after losing its efficacy, and this blood pressure fluctuation will also cause great damage to the heart, brain and kidney.

　　Four possibilities of drug withdrawal in patients with hypertension

　　Generally speaking, there are four basic situations that patients can stop taking drugs under the guidance of doctors:

　　1. Mild hypertension, blood pressure returns to normal after lifestyle improvement.

　　Primary hypertension is a disease closely related to lifestyle when controlling certain risk factors related to physical status or lifestyle, such as normal weight control, smoking cessation and alcohol abstinence, increased exercise, relaxation, etc.

　　It can reduce blood pressure to a certain extent.

　　Therefore, some patients with mild hypertension do not need to take medicine, and their blood pressure can be kept normal, so they can stop taking medicine.

　　2. When the environment changes, the blood pressure will return to normal.

　　The blood pressure will change. Due to the temperature and hot weather, the blood pressure of some patients with mild hypertension will drop compared with that in winter. Some patients with hypertension in plateau areas do not need to take antihypertensive drugs when they return to plain areas, and their blood pressure can return to normal on their own.

　　In this case, patients can be treated under the guidance of doctors.

　　However, patients also need to closely monitor changes in blood pressure to avoid hypertension and hypotension.

　　3. There are serious problems and adverse drug reactions.

　　There are some side effects of antihypertensive drugs, such as the common dry cough, which will affect the life of patients; After taking the antihypertensive drugs, some patients may have side effects such as ankle edema and gingival hyperplasia.

　　When the adverse emotional reaction of drugs is severe to varying degrees, the patient needs to stop taking drugs.

　　Of course, the drug withdrawal here is to stop the original drug and replace it with a data type antihypertensive drug.

　　4. Under special working conditions.

　　It refers to short-term drug withdrawal caused by some special circumstances.

　　For example, if a woman is pregnant, some antihypertensive drugs will affect the growth and development of the fetus and must be stopped and replaced with drugs that are safe for pregnancy; On the day of operation, if we need general anesthesia, we need to fast food and water because of anesthesia management. At this time, antihypertensive drugs also need to be temporarily suspended.

　　matters needing attention

　　It needs to be emphasized that patients should not stop taking drugs by themselves. When should they stop taking drugs, they should try to stop taking drugs at will under the guidance of doctors.
