Patient's question:
My aunt currently has primary hypertension. It is said that this condition is hidden in the body and only revealed now. I don't know if it can be cured. Hello, can primary hypertension be treated?Doctor's answer:
Primary hypertension accounts for more than 90% of all hypertensive patients, and its cause remains unclear. However, it is closely related to poor dietary habits, lifestyle, psychological factors, and intergenerational inheritance. If left untreated, it may lead to conditions such as insufficient blood supply, cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, and coronary heart disease. It is recommended to seek timely medical treatment. Depending on the medication, mild cases can be controlled by adjusting the diet and increasing physical activity, while severe cases are better managed with professional consultation and guidance.
