This view is wrong. Although many patients do not have obvious discomfort when their blood pressure rises, long-term hypertension can cause damage to important organs such as the heart, brain, and kidneys. Therefore, once hypertension is diagnosed, whether there are symptoms or not, as long as the doctor assesses that intervention is needed, the patient should be actively treated, including lifestyle modification and medication.

For patients with high blood pressure, it is usually recommended to take long-acting antihypertensive drugs once a day. If you find that you have missed a dose on the same day, and it is more than 12 hours before the next dose, you should make up for it immediately. If you find that you have missed the medication the next day, you do not need to take it again, just take the dose of the day according to the normal time.

Some patients with early and mild hypertension may return their blood pressure to normal levels through scientific lifestyle interventions, such as low-salt and low-fat diets, regular exercise, weight control, smoking cessation and alcohol restriction, stress reduction, etc., and can reduce or even stop medication according to the doctor's advice.

Some hypertension is caused by other diseases or medications, which is called secondary hypertension, and blood pressure is generally expected to return to normal after timely treatment of the primary disease or suspension of the use of related drugs.
