How long can someone live with stage 3 hypertension?

Patient's question:

I have a history of high blood pressure, lasting for over ten years. This year, when I went to the hospital for a health check-up, the doctor said that my high blood pressure has progressed to stage three. I would like to ask the doctor, how long can I live with stage three high blood pressure?

Doctor's answer:

Hypertension stage III is usually caused by many factors such as intergenerational inheritance, obesity, long-term mental stress, and arteriosclerosis. In this case, as long as active treatment is provided and blood pressure is controlled, it will never interfere with life expectancy. Regularly check your blood pressure and, under the guidance of a professional physician, decide on antihypertensive medications that suit your condition. Never blindly trust folk remedies.
