Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I am just 45 years old this year. After passing middle age, my physical condition has always been poor, always having various ailments. Recently, after a thorough check-up, I was diagnosed with high blood pressure and need to take medication for treatment. I would like to ask a few questions: Are there dependencies associated with the medication for treating high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
There are many types of drugs for treating high blood pressure. Patients need to use appropriate medications under the guidance of a doctor to control their blood pressure. However, these medications do not cause dependence. Long-term use of antihypertensive drugs is mainly to maintain stable blood pressure and prevent greater harm to the body. High blood pressure patients should try to maintain a low-salt, low-fat diet and eat more vegetables and fruits.
