Do You Need Lifelong BP Medication?
Many people worry whether blood pressure medicines must be taken forever. The truth is — it depends on the type of hypertension.
In this video, Dr. Nathani Srikanth, Interventional Cardiologist, explains the two main types of hypertension—Primary (Essential) Hypertension and Secondary Hypertension—and how treatment differs for each.
Primary hypertension usually has no clear cause and tends to be long-term. In most cases, continuous or lifelong medication is needed to keep blood pressure under control.
Secondary hypertension occurs due to specific underlying health conditions such as kidney problems, renal artery blockage, thyroid disorders, hormonal imbalance, or the use of certain medications. When the root cause is treated, blood pressure can improve, and the need for long-term BP medicines may reduce.
👉 Watch till the end to understand how blood pressure is managed and why identifying the cause is important.
📌 Always consult your doctor before stopping or changing BP medicines.
