Hypertension treatment

Nowadays, there are many ways to get rid of hypertension, but none of them is universal for everyone. The quality treatment of hypertension depends on many factors, in particular, in what form the disease is present and what its origin is, whether there are other health problems and how quickly measures were taken after changes in pressure were detected.

Not every person can say that when measuring his pressure, the device will show the standard - 120 to 80. If until recently it was believed that hypertension is the lot of older people, now many diseases are “getting younger”, sometimes affecting not even just very young people but even children. Hypertension, especially in its nephrogenic form, often leads to disability, so it is not necessary to ignore the process and hope that everything will go away by itself. Only timely treatment without self-activity can stop the rapid development of the disease and prevent the occurrence of dangerous complications.

Why is timely control of high blood pressure important?

In some cases, the disease can be asymptomatic for quite a long time and go unnoticed by a person, since some people do not feel an increase in pressure. However, the treatment of high blood pressure is especially effective in the initial stages, so prevention and a reasonable attitude towards one's own health play an important role in the fight against this disease. In order not to start a possible disease, people at risk, that is, those with a hereditary predisposition, overweight, diabetes, leading a sedentary lifestyle or constantly exposed to stress, should regularly measure blood pressure and undergo a comprehensive examination. In this case, you can count on the fact that the disease will be recognized in a timely manner and it will be much easier to treat hypertension.

The main threat of hypertension lies in the fact that it does not go away on its own, but requires mandatory treatment, moreover, in a combination of drug exposure with a revision of one's attitude to nutrition, lifestyle and bad habits. If we rely on the Russian "maybe", then the result of such neglect of one's future can be a hypertensive crisis, severe damage to the kidneys, heart and blood vessels, up to strokes and heart attacks.

Arterial hypertension has two forms:

• Essential, that is, the main one that has arisen as an independent problem, often as a result of hereditary lesions of the cardiovascular system.
• Symptomatic, that is, secondary, which is a consequence of the development of damage to any organ or system of the human body. Its types are common, such as portal hypertension associated with impaired liver function, or hypertension in the nephrogenic form, when the cause of the rise in pressure is the pathology of the kidneys and urinary system.

Modern treatment of hypertension provides for a comprehensive treatment of not only the rise in pressure itself, that is, the elimination of symptoms, but also the detection and sanitation of the source of infection. This suggests that it is possible to forget about severe nephrogenic hypertension forever only if the kidney disease, which has become a trigger for the development of high blood pressure, is cured. This will require several courses of action in a certain combination: determining the cause of the rise in pressure, curing it, and eliminating the causes that can lead to the return of the disease. Only under the condition of a complete and integrated approach to treatment can the development of heart attacks and strokes be avoided and a standard of normal pressure of 120 to 80 be obtained.

The role of drugs in the treatment of hypertension cannot be underestimated, but drugs alone cannot cope with the disease. Only by following all the recommendations on the regime and eating right, as well as taking the medications prescribed by the doctor, you can change your health for the better, reaching 120 to 80 readings on the tonometer - the gold standard, the dream of all hypertensive patients.

Ways to get rid of high blood pressure

The only correct way to cope with hypertension is to delete from your life the reasons that could lead to the appearance and development of this disease.

Basically, the following factors contribute to a persistent increase in blood pressure:

• Overweight, obesity. A high load on the vessels and the heart is a direct path to hypertension.
• Overeating, abuse of fatty heavy food leads to the development of atherosclerosis, imbalance of "good" and "bad" cholesterol. As a result, weight increases, and with it pressure, problems with the heart, kidneys, liver and other internal organs.

• Abuse of spicy, sour, pickled and canned foods with a high salt content. It is useless to treat hypertension with such a diet, the disease will be "fueled" by malnutrition.
• Constant stress and / or physical overwork. During nervous and physical stress, adrenaline and cortisol, the stress hormone, are released into the human blood in large quantities. As a result, the pressure rises sharply, and the frequent repetition of stress leads to persistent hypertension, subsequently to hypertensive crises, and then to a stroke.
• Bad habits. Too much alcohol, even not very strong, smoking, taking narcotic and certain medications, coffee and strong tea lead to alternating expansion and spasm of blood vessels, and this is a direct path to hypertension.

In order for the treatment of hypertension to be effective and bring clear results, it is not enough just to start taking pills. It is clear that they can eliminate the symptoms, but only the patient himself can eliminate the cause of the disease.

To do this, he needs to do the following:

• Follow the principles of the right way of life. A rational day regimen, normal sleep, an optimistic attitude towards oneself and the surrounding reality will help to normalize many body functions.
• Change your attitude to food and change the quality of your diet. Overeating is unacceptable, you need to get rid of excess weight, but at the same time, nutrition should be balanced and complete.
• Salt must be removed from the menu. This is especially important in nephrogenic hypertension. Excessive salt intake creates severe overload for the kidneys, which aggravates the course of their diseases and leads to dangerous increases in nephrogenic hypertension. Too much salt can lead to kidney failure and severe hypertensive crisis. In this combination, the next step is a stroke with very sad consequences.

• Remove annoying factors from your life. Stress, mental and physical stress, mental overwork in combination with a tense state of the nervous system can cause a strong increase in pressure, therefore, for the treatment of hypertension, it is very important to remain calm, abandon work that is too traumatic for the psyche and protect and support the nervous system in every possible way. To do this, it can be strengthened with special preparations, including those of plant origin, as well as using relaxing techniques, baths, massages and relaxing yoga sessions.
• To refuse from bad habits. Alcoholic drinks, smoking, strong tea and coffee are not worth your health and the 10-15 years of life you have lost.
• To cope with hypertension, you need not only to drink drugs at its high rates, but also to stimulate the cardiovascular system with moderate physical activity. The "gold standard" is possible only if the patient moves a lot, walks in the fresh air, engage in accessible and feasible sports, such as swimming or the same yoga, Pilates.

Only by following all medical recommendations and using the prescribed medications correctly, as well as rationally organizing your life, you can count on a gradual decrease in pressure and an improvement in your well-being. This attitude to your own health will give you a chance to change the situation for the better and stop feeling like a hostage to your lifestyle and high blood pressure.

What is the basis of any treatment

Any treatment of hypertension must necessarily be comprehensive. This is the only sure way to beat hypertension. At the slightest suspicion of a change in pressure, and even better prophylactically, it is necessary to undergo all the necessary clinical tests, and when the diagnosis is confirmed, perform a comprehensive examination. This will help to identify hidden causes of the disease, for example, kidney disease - the cause of a dangerous and common nephrogenic hypertension. Timely detection of the main cause of the development of high blood pressure will give the doctor the leverage to influence the disease, especially in the nephrogenic form. It is simply impossible to get rid of hypertension without curing the kidneys, therefore the treatment of symptomatic arterial hypertension is the most important part of the recovery process.

In this combination, there is another component - non-drug. This is a change in attitude to life, which was discussed in detail above.

If a patient with hypertension correctly follows all the doctor's recommendations, then its manifestations will gradually decrease, and well-being will improve. When treating hypertension, you should always remember that its indicators cannot be sharply "knocked down", especially in severe stages of the disease. Such pressure surges adversely affect the state of the cardiovascular system, so the "gold standard" is always achieved by a smooth decrease in the level.

The use of medications

The treatment of arterial hypertension with medications involves the use of different drugs that have a different focus, but can reduce the pressure to the level of the standard. You should not hope that after drinking a handful of pills that helped Aunt Masha or Uncle Vanya perfectly, you will quickly and forever say goodbye to a serious illness. It must be remembered that we are all individual, and just as special is the set of our personal health problems. The set of remedies that have been effective for another person may not work for you or be harmful, especially in nephrogenic hypertension. The kidneys can be very sensitive to various drugs, so tablets for nephrogenic hypertension should not only treat hypertension, but also spare diseased kidneys as much as possible.

Effective treatment of hypertension is provided by the following groups of modern drugs:

1. ACE inhibitors.
2. Alpha and beta blockers.
3. calcium antagonists.
4. Diuretics are diuretics.

The selection of medicines, the choice of the type of drug, its dose and duration of treatment is a very individual process; Only an experienced, well-trained doctor can do this. Sometimes you have to try several drugs before you find the right combination that will have a pronounced therapeutic effect.

At the moment, there are antihypertensive drugs, which are combinations of several active substances. They are well tolerated, more effective and act gently, often offsetting each other's harmful side effects. However, such a remedy cannot be prescribed to oneself on one's own, since it is necessary to take into account all possible negative consequences, and only a doctor can do this.

If you want to get rid of hypertension, start treating it correctly and competently.

Treatment of complicated forms of hypertension

There are many methods for dealing with hypertension, and each of them does not provide for self-treatment. Hypertension, especially of a nephrogenic nature, is too serious a threat to health and life to be taken lightly. The surest way to defeat hypertension is to completely change your attitude towards your own health.

The fight against hypertension alone will not give positive results, since only a specialist knows the various treatment regimens and can prescribe a new medicine if the old drugs do not have the desired effect.

To permanently get rid of a severe form of hypertension, including nephrogenic nature, it is necessary:

1. profess the principles of a healthy balanced diet in combination with the observance of the daily routine,
2. moderate exercise,
3. give up negative habits
4. avoid stressful situations.

Severe hypertension is well treated only in combination with getting rid of its cause - diseases of the kidneys, liver, heart or blood vessels. If for this the doctor gives recommendations on surgical intervention, then do the right thing, do not give up surgery, and then you will have a chance to forget about high pressure and get the same standard - excellent indicators of 120 to 80.

Your health and blood pressure in particular is entirely in your hands. Do not miss the opportunity to save it, undergo regular medical examinations, follow the doctor's instructions and do not self-medicate.
