How should primary hypertension be treated?

Patient's question:

I often feel dizzy and nauseous. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor diagnosed me with primary hypertension. I want to know what are the principles of treatment for primary hypertension?

Doctor's answer:

The patient's condition needs to be reviewed at the hospital and treated with medication. Use antihypertensive medication as prescribed. Any antihypertensive medication will cause blood pressure to drop again after discontinuation, and it is absolutely essential not to stop taking the medication arbitrarily. If one medication is not effective, two medications can be used in combination. Long-term hypertension is harmful to the body and may increase the risk of various diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, kidney problems, and more. Daily life requires a focus on a light diet.
