How long can people with hypertension live at the age of 40?

Patient's question:

I'm only 40 years old, and I was diagnosed with high blood pressure. Hello, how long is the life expectancy for high blood pressure at the age of 40?

Doctor's answer:

You have hypertension and cardiovascular disease, which can easily lead to coronary heart disease and cerebrovascular disease. These are controllable conditions. If well-managed, they will not affect your lifespan. It is recommended to visit the cardiology department of your hospital for follow-up. Use antihypertensive medication under the guidance of a physician, take it orally on schedule, and regularly check your blood pressure to keep it within the normal range. Pay attention to a light diet, and avoid smoking and drinking beer.
