Are there regulations for the classification and medication of hypertension?

Patient's question:

Hello, are there any regulations for hypertension classification and medication? Is the medication different for different blood pressures?

Doctor's answer:

There are no special regulations for the classification and medication of hypertension. Generally, conventional medications often use calcium channel blockers, renin-angiotensin inhibitors, etc. If the hypertension is severe or the antihypertensive medication is not effective, two or about two types of antihypertensive drugs can be used simultaneously. For hypertensive emergencies, vasodilators that expand systemic arteries and veins, or intravenous fluid therapy, can also be used.
