Is high blood pressure incurable?

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling uncomfortable in my heart. Although I take medicine regularly to control it, the effect isn't obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medicine. Is high blood pressure incurable?

Doctor's answer:

A person with hypertension has an organic irreversible disease that cannot be fully relieved and requires long-term combined medication with doctors. Antihypertensive drugs can effectively suppress blood pressure, increasing damage to target organs. Hypertensive patients need to take antihypertensive drugs regularly and in fixed doses. It is absolutely forbidden to stop taking them or increase the dosage or change the type of medication on one's own. Additionally, it is very necessary for hypertensive patients to control their diet. The diet should be light and nutritious, with strict restriction on salt intake.
