Is moderate hypertension serious?

Many people now have high blood pressure, but most of them are elderly people. Some of the factors are genetic, and it may also be caused by the patient's long-term mental and emotional state. With the increase of age, the possibility of suffering from high blood pressure gradually increases. There is no need to worry about moderate hypertension. Pay attention to these problems in daily life. At the same time, you need to pay attention to your diet and avoid high-protein and high-fat foods.

Hypertension is divided into three stages:

1. It is mild hypertension. There was no objective manifestation of organ damage.

2. Moderate hypertension. There is at least one manifestation of organ damage, such as proteinuria, increased blood creatinine, left ventricular hypertrophy, etc.

3. Severe hypertension. Clinical manifestations of organ damage may occur, including myocardial infarction, heart failure, angina pectoris, transient cerebral ischemia, stroke, retinal hemorrhage, renal failure, etc.

As blood pressure continues to rise significantly, symptoms such as dizziness, headache, blurred vision, tinnitus, and insomnia will appear, and the risk factors and organ damage level will become increasingly higher. Hypertension falls into the categories of "dizziness", "headache" and "liver wind" in traditional Chinese medicine. The main cause of the disease is the imbalance of liver and kidney yin and yang. Insufficient liver yin can cause hyperactivity of liver yang, and insufficient kidney yin can also cause yin deficiency and hyperactivity of yang. Liver or kidney yin deficiency often affect each other, forming liver and kidney yin deficiency, and liver and kidney yin deficiency leads to yang deficiency, resulting in both yin and yang deficiency. "Anger hurts the liver" and "fear hurts the kidneys". Long-term anger, fear, and emotional tension can also damage the liver and kidneys.

The clinical manifestations can be divided into hyperactivity of liver yang, liver-kidney yin deficiency, and deficiency of both yin and yang. The treatment of hypertension includes oral Western medicine, limiting sodium salt intake, losing weight, exercising appropriately, quitting smoking and drinking, improving emergency response capabilities, and maintaining an optimistic attitude. Chinese medicine treatment must be carefully diagnosed and treated.

In this case, you should consider using medication to control blood pressure and temperature. Then consider whether there is heart or blood lipid abnormality. Hypertension is a very common disease with many causes. Currently, the patient's blood pressure is relatively high and requires active treatment to avoid cerebrovascular accidents. The current situation requires the use of other drugs together to lower blood pressure, and a low-salt, low-fat diet is required, good rest, appropriate exercise to regulate the body, and regular monitoring of blood pressure.
