Patient's question:
My father was only diagnosed with high blood pressure at the age of 50 this year. Hello, how long is the life expectancy generally for high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
If after a careful check, there is a condition of high blood pressure, there is no need to worry about the issue of lifespan, because the high blood pressure disease itself does not affect lifespan. However, if high blood pressure is not effectively controlled, it may accelerate the expansion of arteriosclerosis, and may lead to other diseases in other aspects, such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, actively controlling blood pressure is a preventive measure to avoid the occurrence of other diseases.
