How to take medication for high blood pressure effectively?

Patient's question:

Normal blood pressure should be around 80 to 110, but my uncle's blood pressure has risen to 160. He is reluctant to spend money to stay in the hospital and often buys some high blood pressure medication from the pharmacy. How is it better to take medication for high blood pressure? I'm afraid of buying fake medicine at the pharmacy.

Doctor's answer:

Normal high blood pressure is below 140 mmHg. Your uncle's school has 160 mmHg, so it's still necessary to consider hypertension. You need to change your lifestyle and dietary habits, and focus on monitoring your blood pressure data. If your blood pressure rises, there's no need to take oral medication. If you want to maintain high blood pressure, you will need to take antihypertensive medication to control your blood pressure.
