My father-in-law was 35 years old with high blood pressure and insisted on taking his medication every day. Now 91 years old, he stopped taking his meds this year and now his blood pressure is low and the doctor recommended stopping the meds.

Thanks for the invite!
Have you ever lived more than 10 years with high blood pressure?
The author is a hypertensive patient, 53 years old found out to have high blood pressure for 27 years now, now 79 years old has no signs of dying, such as non-accidental death.
I will now tell you how I spent 27 years!
1, I study competition that year with high blood pressure since I do not know, is 53 years old that year in August discomfort, my son sent me to the hospital to pick up the check, scared a big jump, the doctor said that the high pressure 200, low pressure 100, the doctor said that it is very high, it is very dangerous, must be hospitalized, the doctor you have this high blood pressure is not good, such a high blood pressure, why they do not have a feeling, because I did not have a feeling, and at that time also do not believe that the hospital diagnosis. The doctor said that the high pressure is 200 and the low pressure is 100, which is dangerous.
Then I went to another hospital and came to the same conclusion and was also told to be hospitalized; back then there was little awareness of the dangers of blood pressure, so I went home anyway.
2, and go home sick in the following manner!
(1) The medication must be taken daily, not briefly, and for life.
Because some patients don't believe it, they end up losing out and leaving early on their own.
〈2)In the first few years, I often measured my blood pressure, but my blood pressure was running high, hovering between high pressure 150 and low pressure, so I got used to it, and if I lowered it, I didn't get used to it, so now I don't measure it, and I didn't measure it for a year last year.
(3) the key is a good state of mind, no matter what, the mood can not fluctuate, a fluctuation of blood pressure immediately rise, will trigger to the kind of disease, must be done since the heart of the matter, and then the big things to control their own emotions.
My family's luck was not good, and I didn't take it seriously.
I am posting in the headline to control my own emotions.
You can't post when you're in a bad mood, or you can't write when you post, you forget things.
(4), Diet, any food as long as you don't overdo it and don't eat it too often.
〈5〉 Exercise is very important, the original walking-based, very good for the body, the key as long as you can stick to it, can improve their immune system, the analogy of a cold is much less.
Nowadays, housework instead of walking is also very effective.3, Finally, I hope that the subject does not take this disease to heart all life, work style as scheduled. High blood pressure has no effect on a person's life expectancy.
If there is an impact, the state will take it seriously, and according to current science there are ways to control the condition.
Therefore, as long as people with high blood pressure pay attention to themselves, it will not affect their life expectancy.
，

I was diagnosed with high blood pressure in 1996, I didn't pay attention to it at that time and didn't take my medication on time. 2001, I was at my parents' house, my dad measured my mom's blood pressure, so I said, "Let's measure mine too." The result was that my blood pressure was 180/110! My blood pressure was 180/110, and I felt like I was walking on the road, and I always felt that the road was not flat, and it was up and down. I was 50 years old.

Since then, I've been on medication. It was only in the summer when my blood pressure was low that I would stop for a couple months. The last couple years I've gotten older and haven't stopped in the summer, taking smaller amounts.

High blood pressure is well controlled and does not affect life expectancy.

I also now only have high blood pressure, which has not caused any other illnesses.

I'm in the third year of my third decade of living with primary hypertension.

There should be no country in the world that is not able to treat essential hypertension. After all, it is a common and frequent disease and cannot be cured, so there are many professionals engaged in the study of hypertension, and the dissemination of relevant scientific knowledge is very large and continuous. The key is that the number of people suffering from the disease is too large, and the prevalence of adults in our country is more than 20%, with more than 200 million people currently suffering from hypertension.

High blood pressure is not scary, the scary thing is not think you have high blood pressure. Or do not take high blood pressure seriously, do not take medication at all, basically do not listen to the doctor's advice to change their lifestyle; and then, they think that the blood pressure is under control, reduce the amount of medication or even stop taking medication on their own, showing a great deal of arbitrariness, which is medically known as poor adherence.

High blood pressure that is not well controlled for a long time can cause damage to the heart, brain, kidneys, and other organs, which is commonly referred to as complications.

After the diagnosis of primary hypertension is clarified, under the guidance of professional doctors, including non-pharmacological treatment for lifestyle adjustment and drug antihypertensive treatment, blood pressure is controlled in the normal range without complications as the goal of treatment, and of course, for the elderly over 65 years of age identified by WHO, blood pressure control below 150/90mmhg is also within the range of satisfactory control. There are a small number of just reached the diagnostic criteria of hypertension patients in the doctor to provide non-drug treatment measures, blood pressure can be restored to normal, especially to emphasize the professional doctor under the guidance of more than three months when the effect is not satisfactory, the need for medication to control blood pressure in the normal range.

Recently, I have been to more than ten local townships and urban community hospitals, and when I learned about the management of hypertension in their districts, I found that the compliance of urban patients is relatively good, and the number of those who do not listen to the doctor's instructions is very small, while in the rural areas, the proportion of poor compliance is high, and some townships have reached about 30%, and the management of this chronic disease in urban and rural areas has been carried out for more than ten years, and some villages and mountainous areas have not yet Some rural and mountainous villages have not yet changed their concepts, especially believing all kinds of pseudo-scientific claims and going astray. This shows that there is still a lot of room for health popularization work to be carried out, especially for the lack of correct understanding of the serious complications of chronic diseases, and some people think that the chances of occurrence are very small, do not think that there is a great deal, and simply do not think of the trouble that will be brought to themselves and their families. Once a serious complication occurs, even if one's life is saved, the quality of life will be drastically reduced, and this is not taken into consideration, or not taken into consideration at all.

See simply do not listen to the doctor's instructions, and finally had a brain hemorrhage, although the patient who survived, but also able to pestle crutches or family members to support the difficult to walk a few steps, which has to be a point of praise, but at the same time still have to say that, if the blood pressure control in the first place in the reasonable range, not to have a brain hemorrhage is not better?

What should I do if I have high blood pressure? In a word, or have to listen to the doctor, county-level hospitals above the cardiology department or directly is the hypertension section of the doctor can guide you how to do, is the township, community hospitals, general practitioners or internal medicine doctors can you how to prevent and control high blood pressure, put forward a highly targeted individualized program. From adjusting the mindset, medication, reasonable diet, sodium restriction, weight control, proposed suitable for their own way of exercise, smoking cessation and alcohol control and so on, a whole set of integrated prevention and control approach. Helping you to control your blood pressure in the normal or appropriate range for a long time and stably, living past 10 or 20 years is nothing, provided that the age of onset and whether there are other serious diseases.

I'm Dr. Kang. Thank you, friends, for your attention!

I have a buddy, a branch manager. All day long socializing and drinking, 94 when due to high blood pressure coma sent to the hospital for rescue, after a few days of rescue, came back to life. Now he is still alive. Occasionally drink a little wine. I take medication for high blood pressure every day. He said he had high blood pressure for more than twenty years.

Hypertension has become one of the most common chronic diseases today, and conservative estimates suggest that there are about 300 million people in the country, with high blood pressure

After getting high blood pressure, some people adhere to regular medication, appropriate exercise, dietary control, maintain a reasonable weight, not to mention live through 10 years or 20 years, 30 years is not a problem, basically does not affect the life expectancy, such as the respected academician Zhong Nanshan, who is a hypertensive patients, has been regular use of medication, adherence to physical exercise, reasonable diet, do not need to smoke and alcohol, his body doubly great, more than 80 years old.

But after high blood pressure, some people take medication is three days to fish, two days to sun net, high powerful, headache is difficult to eat a little antihypertensive drugs, as long as there are no symptoms do not eat antihypertensive drugs, drinking and smoking, a little bit did not delay the matter, eating sea stuffed with a big belly, serious overweight, in this case, to get high blood pressure, and then live through ten years is really a problem!

Therefore, if you have high blood pressure, the key to living a life of ten years depends on the attitude towards high blood pressure, whether it is regular treatment, whether it is a reasonable diet? Do you insist on exercising? Do you maintain a reasonable weight?

There are not many patients who have hypertension and have lived more than 10 years. Among my patients, there are some patients who have been diagnosed with hypertension in their 30s and 40s, and many of them are still alive in their 80s and 90s, and their life time is far more than 10 years. Therefore, hypertension is not a terminal disease, as long as adherence to standardized treatment, can be very good control of the disease, the impact on life expectancy is not too big, and can be the same as normal life into old age.

Although it is said that hypertension is not a terminal disease, it is definitely not a disease that can be cured without treatment, so it is said that we must have a correct understanding of it, follow the guidance of professional doctors and carry out standardized treatment. However, if we do not pay attention to it and do not carry out standardized treatment, blood pressure can fluctuate or even rise sharply, which in turn can lead to cerebral hemorrhage, myocardial infarction and other cardiovascular and cerebral vascular accidents, and in serious cases, it can even lead to sudden death.

Overall, hypertension is a chronic disease. Under the current medical conditions, except for secondary hypertension, primary hypertension, which accounts for the majority of cases, has no effective cure and requires long-term treatment. We should pay attention to improve the lifestyle, to reduce sodium intake, do not eat high sodium salt food; to strictly quit smoking, non-smokers should avoid passive smoking; to try not to drink alcohol, difficult to quit alcohol must be strictly limited to the amount and frequency; to appropriate exercise, aerobic exercise is the main focus, talking about step by step; to control body weight, obesity attention to lose weight; but also to maintain a good state of mind and regular work and rest.

While improving our lifestyle, we should also use medication reasonably under the guidance of doctors, drugs should be individualized, preferably long-lasting preparations, and combine drugs when necessary, and at the same time, we should pay attention to monitoring the changes in blood pressure level, pay attention to regular review, and adjust the treatment plan under the guidance of doctors, so as to stabilize the control of the blood pressure level, reduce the occurrence of complications, and improve the quality of life. As long as we adhere to standardized treatment, can be very good control of the condition, the impact on life expectancy is not great, we must not be biased.

I hope this article can help you, if you have any questions, welcome to leave a message at the end of the article and discuss together.

Medication control, emotional control, and dietary moderation are not a big deal at all.

I was found in 2000 primary hypertension, has been taking antihypertensive drugs, the middle years of blood pressure and point repeatedly according to the doctor's advice also changed a few drugs, and now more than 20 years, in addition to simple high blood pressure, the other are very normal.

I am surrounded by a group of people with high blood pressure, as long as they do not stop taking medication some of them have been more than 40 years, safe and sound, nothing delayed, and casually stop taking medication is non-paralyzed that is, dead [cover face].
