Why do some Western doctors say that you can't stop taking your medication for the rest of your life for high blood pressure and diabetes?

These two diseases are the most common chronic diseases in our country, there are nearly 300 million patients with high blood pressure and more than 100 million people with diabetes, but unfortunately, these two diseases can not be cured in modern times. All the people who tell you that there are secret prescriptions and recipes to cure hypertension and diabetes are trying to cheat money from your pocket. No doctor in Chinese medicine or Western medicine has ever claimed to be able to cure these two diseases. If he could, he would have been famous both at home and abroad.Drugs can help us control blood pressure, blood sugar, but not cure the disease, such as diphenhydramine antihypertensive drug is through the blockade of calcium ions on the vascular smooth muscle relaxation of blood vessels, to achieve the purpose of lowering blood pressure, but when the concentration of the drug drops, blood pressure went up again; Another example is metformin is mainly through the inhibition of hepatic glucose output, improve the peripheral tissues of the sensitivity to insulin, so as to increase glucose uptake and utilization of glucose and play a role in lowering blood sugar. But when the concentration of the drug decreases, this effect will be reduced, and then the blood sugar may rise again.This is a major reason why many patients have to take medication for the rest of their lives.

The reality is so cruel, but we are not helpless with high blood pressure and diabetes

Although so far, the causes of hypertension and diabetes have not been fully clarified, and these two diseases are also mutual risk factors, that is to say, people with high blood pressure are prone to diabetes, people with diabetes are also prone to high blood pressure, but we can live as well as healthy people through the control of blood pressure and blood glucose, long-term survival of the disease, which is why we have to take long-term medication to control blood pressure, blood glucose, an important This is also an important reason why we should take medication to control blood pressure and blood sugar for a long time.

Studies have found that the development of hypertension and diabetes are all related to our genetics, eating habits, lifestyle and other factors. Take hypertension for example, parents have high blood pressure, the probability of children with high blood pressure is about 46%; overweight and obese people than normal weight people suffering from high blood pressure risk increased by 1.16 ~ 1.28 times; too much sodium, excessive alcohol consumption also increases the risk of hypertension, in addition to mental stress, lack of physical activity, etc. are also closely related to high blood pressure. And diabetes is also related to obesity, lack of exercise, mental stress, uneven diet. Therefore, taking antihypertensive and hypoglycemic drugs while changing these bad habits will help us to control blood pressure and blood sugar, and even reduce the use of drugs to a certain extent. Some low-risk hypertension and diabetes can also be controlled simply by good lifestyle, but it needs to be done under the guidance of a doctor, and should not be discontinued without authorization, as blood pressure and blood sugar may rebound as a result.

Welcome to like, forward, leave a message, I am physician Yang Hao, focusing on common diseases, multiple diseases diagnosis and treatment, chronic disease management, health science. If you want to know more about medical knowledge, welcome to pay attention to this headline!

It's not that there are Western doctors who say you can't stop taking medication for the rest of your life for high blood pressure or diabetes!

It's safe to say that all real doctors, at the moment, think so! But not all high blood pressure and diabetes can't be taken off the medication and have to be on it for the rest of their lives.

Whether or not you actually need to be on medication all the time is a simple answer!

I. Rhetorical questions only?

What to do if I don't take my medication? Can someone please just tell people with high blood pressure and diabetes what to do if they don't take their medication.

It doesn't matter if you take medication or not, you just need to be able to keep your blood pressure and blood sugar in the normal range without medication; if there is a way to control your blood pressure and blood sugar without medication naturally, you don't need to take medication.

Some barbarian will surely say: then take herbs to cure it!

Let's not discuss it, let's not argue about it, it's too much talk and too much of everyone's time.

Barbies, no need to argue, just tell us all the specific protocols or methods or formulas for controlling blood pressure and blood sugar without medication. Don't make things up and say you can cure it by taking something. If you can cure it, just tell everyone, don't just say you can cure it. I even said I could go to heaven? Unfortunately I don't have wings. All don't brag, just an answer will do.

Don't make things up without other ways to specifically be able to be able to control your blood pressure and blood sugar!

Second, most high blood pressure and diabetes can only take long-term medication

This is because current medicine, both traditional medicine, including our Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), as well as modern medicine, does not have a cure for the vast majority of high blood pressure and diabetes mellitus. The existing solution is to take medication for a long time to maintain the balance of blood pressure and blood sugar.

If you don't take your medication and don't control your blood pressure and blood glucose, the result is clearly an increased risk of serious complications. If you don't take medication to control your blood pressure and blood sugar as soon as possible, you are very likely to have brain hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, myocardial infarction, heart failure, kidney failure, amputation, and other malignant results.

At that time, it is not as simple as taking antihypertensive drugs and hypoglycemic drugs, you will take a lot of drugs, suffer a lot of crime, you will harm yourself and your family, and even worse than death, you will face life-threatening situations.

Third, a few people really don't need to take medication for the rest of their lives either

1, for some people suffering from high blood pressure or diabetes, if you can achieve control of blood pressure and blood sugar through a healthy lifestyle, then naturally do not need to take medication. For example, after the discovery of hypertension or diabetes, the patient willpower firm, can low-salt, low-sugar, low-oil diet, can quit smoking and drinking, can adhere to exercise, can control weight loss, can avoid staying up late and so on, healthy life, blood pressure and glucose returned to normal, then naturally do not need to take medication to control. The principle is that blood pressure and blood sugar is normal, regardless of the medication, we only need this result.

2. If you have low blood pressure or low blood sugar for any reason, then of course you must stop taking the medication, find out the cause of the low blood pressure and low blood sugar, and then decide if you are or can continue to take the medication in the future.

3, of course, the theory is that part of the diabetes can insulin, do not call for medication, but this also belongs to the drug intervention; part of the high blood pressure can be rooted out by surgery, but after all, this is also a minority.

Because blood pressure and blood glucose volatility is relatively large, affected by many factors, so the requirement to control blood pressure and blood glucose control at the same time, you must monitor blood pressure and blood glucose, or how do you know the medication management or not?

For the vast majority of people with high blood pressure or diabetes, they must take medication for a long time or even for the rest of their lives.

This is not the viewpoint of some Western doctors, this is the viewpoint of the medical profession around the world; barbarian if it still appears, or the same sentence, please tell people the specific way not to take drugs, to be specific program ah, not to say that the sky is the limit, nonsense.

Hypertension, diabetes are included in the national catalog of chronic diseases, chronic disease is a non-communicable disease, the course of the disease is long, the condition is prolonged, unlike SARS or the new coronavirus pneumonia and other diseases such as the ability to find a clear pathogenic microorganisms, the cause of the disease is more complex, and some have not been found to find the cause of a clear class of diseases. The chronic diseases listed in our country include diabetes, hypertension, stroke, coronary heart disease, chronic respiratory diseases, cancer and other diseases.

Since it is a disease, medication may be required and since it is a chronic disease, it is not cured in a very short period of time like an acute disease. Since you are suffering from a disease, you have to have a proper scientific attitude towards it and you must use medication when you need it.

However, people with high blood pressure and diabetes do not need to take medication all the time. If you are able to maintain normal blood sugar and blood pressure without medication through lifestyle modifications, adherence to diet and exercise therapy, and stress reduction, etc., you can maintain normal blood sugar and blood pressure without medication. That is, although you are diagnosed with high blood pressure and diabetes, you can not use drugs. This is very common in clinical practice, especially in the early stages of the diagnosis of these diseases, and after regular treatment, the period of gradual reduction of medication to complete discontinuation is possible. So the idea that you can't stop taking medication for the rest of your life is unscientific.

The questioner specifically emphasized the Western medicine saying, that means that there may be some Chinese medicine practitioners who may promise that the use of Chinese medicine to treat diabetes and hypertension will lead to the discontinuation of medication, and such promises may also be possible to achieve, and if lifestyle changes are made in conjunction with the use of Chinese medicines, of course, it is also possible to return the blood glucose and blood pressure back to normal, and it is also possible that the duration of the absence of medication will be a little bit longer.

However, as a chronic disease, if lifestyle is not adjusted, or with the prolongation of the disease and the progression of the disease, simple lifestyle control can no longer bring blood glucose and blood pressure back to the normal range, then long-term use of medication is needed to control.

Long-term use of drugs to control the situation, the patient can choose according to their own situation to lower sugar, blood pressure medication, in the process of treatment, regular blood glucose, blood pressure checks to determine the use of drugs and the amount of varieties, do not use any one of the lowering of blood glucose, lowering blood pressure medication, it is considered that all is well, do not carry out the relevant checks, and ultimately lead to blood glucose, blood pressure, long-term increase in blood glucose and blood pressure and lead to the occurrence of macrovascular and microvascular complications. This will eventually lead to the long-term increase of blood glucose and blood pressure, resulting in the occurrence of macrovascular and microvascular complications.

I'm Dr. Sun, pay attention to Dr. Sun talk about sugar, continue to learn more quality health knowledge, help please like, have questions please leave a message, will reply!

I don't think that's the case, except that people don't stick to the scientific regimen exactly as it should be. That is to say, very few people can do it.

I think the human body, like anything in the world, is in constant motion, i.e. metabolic motion.

As long as you follow the correct regimen and stick to it, the human body has a strong self-repair function. The symptoms of high blood sugar and high blood pressure will disappear.

Western medicine to hypertension. Diabetes is judged to be a "lifelong disease," and therefore have to take medication and injections for life, the reason is mainly due to the interests of the national medical master Deng Tietao said more than ten years ago: Western medicine on hypertension and other such diseases, research to research, just can't let you get well, because the capitalist countries controlled by capitalists do not allow the Western pharmaceutical companies are not allowed. Chinese medicine does not exist in the lifelong medication, like diabetes, Chinese medicine can completely stop the needle and medication, blood sugar normal. Chinese medicine is truly benevolent, all for the sake of the patient!

Diabetes has not heard of a cure, can only pay attention to diet control, insulin control indicators, hypertension is generally genetic and age, this is very difficult to cure, can only take medication, a small number of young people are too obese resulting in high blood pressure with high blood esters, by controlling the diet, weight loss, strengthen the body, slowly can be cured, other invalid

It's true, high blood pressure is caused by the aging of the body's blood vessels and the narrowing of the airspace. Diabetes is a problem with the human digestive system. The above two diseases are chronic, irreversible, only conservative treatment, regular medication.

I'm sorry, I didn't hear that from the doctor. There is no evidence to support the idea of lifelong medication. Is it possible to be born with high blood pressure or diabetes mellitus? It is possible that some of the more severe patients may have to take medication for the rest of their lives.

Don't be so quick to mention Western medicine, it is modern medicine, which is the theoretical and technological achievements jointly explored, discovered, created and summarized by medical practitioners of various countries. It serves the health of all mankind, and is a new technology of life science and clinical medical treatment that is different from the traditional medicine of other countries and is based on modern science and technology.

This is just like in the past, when we went out, we could only choose traditional means of transportation, such as walking or riding a horse, riding in a pride and joy, riding in an oxcart or a horse-drawn carriage. In modern times, we have invented modern means of transportation such as cars, trains, subways, light railways, airplanes, etc., which have greatly enriched our material and technological conditions and given us more choices.

The same applies to medicine. On the basis of "traditional medical technology", new discoveries, new developments, updates and creations are made during exploration, and new theories and new technologies are constantly updated and replaced. New theories and techniques are constantly being updated and replaced by new ones. Outdated and erroneous traditional theories and techniques will be eliminated in some cases, and this is a natural "law of nature". This is a natural "law of nature", which is not subject to anyone's subjective will, and the promotion and popularization of new theories and technologies can not be stopped by anyone.

Today's medicine is still flawed and cannot solve all health problems. It is possible that future medical technology will be more advanced and better than today's, so don't hold on to old ideas.

These two are chronic diseases, and living and eating habits are closely related, if you adjust your living and eating habits, control blood pressure and blood sugar, obese people reduce weight loss, it is still very likely to become healthy without medication.

Because high blood pressure and high blood sugar is just a phenomenon, using the theory of Chinese medicine, it is the 'standard'. Then where is the essence of hypertension and diabetes? Where is the "essence"? That is to say: what causes high blood pressure, what causes high blood sugar? It is only when the causes are solved that blood pressure and blood sugar can be stabilized.

Taking pills is just one way to do it.

Treating a disease is like fighting a war. If you want to win the war, you have to utilize all "types of soldiers" wisely. Start at the root.

The cure and the disease go hand in hand to keep away from the so-called diseases and ailments of life.

The disease is in the hands of the doctor and nobody knows it.

The disease is in the church and everyone doesn't know it.

The disease lies in the lack of clarity about the revisionist.

Health~longevity~peace~happiness is the true meaning of life.
