Hello, experts! Consult and understand the health problems of the elderly. My mother is 6 1 year old this year, and she has had hypertension since she was 40 years old. She didn't care too much at that time.
Hypertension refers to the increase of arterial systolic blood pressure and/or diastolic blood pressure at rest (>: = 140/90mmHg), which is often accompanied by disorder of fat and sugar metabolism and functional or organic changes of heart, brain, kidney, retina and other organs. It is a systemic disease characterized by organ remodeling. Blood pressure measured on different days after resting for more than 5 minutes > = 140/90mmHg can be diagnosed as hypertension.
Once diagnosed as hypertension, you should take antihypertensive drugs for life to avoid cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, usually taking amlodipine, nitrendipine and captopril. At the same time, you should closely observe the changes of blood pressure.
At the same time, you can take some drugs to soften blood vessels, such as troxerutin, vitamin E and compound Danshen tablets, which will help reduce systolic blood pressure.
You can take some long-acting antihypertensive drugs, and the antihypertensive effect is better. Once a day.
