High blood pressure of 10 big misunderstanding

China's traditional Chinese medicine to

        Hypertension is a common disease. Patients not only require a doctor's guidance, oneself also to the correct understanding of disease and treatment. But at present, due to the limited time to communicate with doctors, patients and family care knowledge lack of hypertension, there are many pitfalls in urgent need of clarification.

        Myth 1: panacea to cure high blood pressure

        Once confirmed, the vast majority of hypertensive patients need lifelong insist on non-drug and drug treatment. But a lot of advertising claims that certain drugs, high-tech products, health food or health care instrument can effect a radical cure high blood pressure, don't have to eat blood pressure medication. These are all false propaganda, will affect the standard of high blood pressure treatment. At present, the world which is not a drug, device can cure high blood pressure. No matter where, what media publicity can effect a radical cure of hypertension "panacea", is false advertising, people want to polish eyes.

        Erroneous zone 2: no symptoms of blood pressure is not high

        This is a wrong understanding, because most of the symptoms of high blood pressure did not; Also, patients with high blood pressure or without discomfort, are prone to stroke, heart disease or renal insufficiency, and even his life. As a result, the world health organization says high blood pressure as a "silent killer".

        To know your blood pressure level, it is necessary to measure blood pressure. Adults older than 18 years old, it is recommended that every 2 years 1 blood pressure measurement; Men and women over the age of 35 every year 1 time of blood pressure measurement; To those who are prone to high blood pressure (include: blood pressure 139/85 in 130 ~ ~ 130 mm hg, obesity, family history of long-term excessive drinking, have high blood pressure), suggested that every 6 months once a blood pressure measurement. If you have high blood pressure, measurement frequency was more frequently.

        Myth 3: hospital than blood pressure at home

        In hospitals and blood pressure measurement at home, as a result, there is a difference. In general, the hospital clinic measure blood pressure values on the high side, easy to excessive diagnosis of high blood pressure, the doctor may give some unnecessary drugs. Therefore, for diagnosis of high blood pressure, and clear the effect of antihypertensive drugs, can be added through home blood pressure measurement.

        Experts recommend at home use authenticated by the international standardization of upper arm type electronic sphygmomanometer measurements, wrist and finger type blood pressure monitor is not recommended.

        There are a lot of people because of tension, high blood pressure values measured at the hospital, and the measurement of blood pressure in the family is not high, this is called "white coat hypertension".

        Myth 4: medication too early, later will be invalid

        Number of patients with high blood pressure that, after antihypertensive drug use too early can lead to drug use is invalid, if symptoms don't medication without heavy now, this is very dangerous. Because of high blood pressure, heart, brain and kidney damage to multiple organs will be in imperceptible in, such as. Blood pressure control, the sooner, the more can prevent heart, brain and kidney damage, and the long-term prognosis is better. If you wait until these organs appeared complications, has lost the best treatment opportunity.

        Myth 5: medication affect kidney function

        Most of the antihypertensive agents are the metabolism of the liver and kidney excretion, but that doesn't mean there is damage to liver and kidney function. All kinds of drugs on the human body has a different degree of adverse effects, due to the different responses to each patient, adverse performance can vary.

        Some people can't apply due to worry about adverse reactions to antihypertensive drugs. In fact, only a small fraction of people taking antihypertensive drugs can have adverse effects, compared to high blood pressure causes damage or death of serious consequences, antihypertensive drugs not do more harm than good.
