Disease Prognosis
Hypertension is a controllable but incurable disease that requires lifelong treatment. Once you start medication, you can't stop or change medicines at will, otherwise, your blood pressure will rise again and become difficult to control. Long-term hypertension can cause serious complications such as heart disease, stroke, renal failure, fundus lesions, and even blindness, and threaten your life. Therefore, the treatment of hypertension requires that your blood pressure value meet the target and remain stable for a long time. If the treatment is effective, you can live and work like a normal person.
Complications
Among the many complications of hypertension, the incidence of hypertension with coronary heart disease is as high as 83%, and most hypertensive patients also have varying degrees of renal damage. The blood pressure control target is below 130/80 mmHg for these two types of patients.
Hypertension is also an important cause of cerebral hemorrhage; at the same time, during the process of lowering blood pressure, it is also necessary to pay attention to the fact that too fast a blood pressure reduction may lead to insufficient cerebral perfusion, which may, in turn, induce cerebral infarction.
