Reporter: What should be done when you notice such symptoms?
Tupas: Of course, first of all, it should be checked. Usually, when you are diagnosed with hypertension, you are told that it is a lifelong condition, that it cannot be avoided, but that the condition can be corrected and maintained with antihypertensive drugs. This is very profitable for chemical drug manufacturers, but no one will tell you about it.
One thing I would like to draw your attention to is that no medication can cure hypertension. They only lower blood pressure when taken, but if you don't take these medications, the pressure will rise again!
Everything we take has a side effect. Antihypertensive drugs also have adverse effects, only the consequences are not so obvious, but they can be really dangerous. Therefore, from time to time, your doctor will recommend that you change your antihypertensive medication.
If you've been taking blood pressure pills, I'm sure you'll agree with me that despite the lack of obvious symptoms, you don't feel like a healthy person. As you get older, the general feeling of pain increases. "Signs of aging" appear - shortness of breath and weakness, old wounds often begin to ache, new chronic problems appear.
Over time, the number of medications you have to take will increase, but your health will not change. Because symptom prevention and health promotion are completely different things. So don't expect doctors to cure you. They can save lives, stop the development of the disease, but you have to rehabilitate your health yourself.
