Question
Hello doctor,
I am 17 years old diagnosed with high blood pressure. After 1 month of taking the drug, blood pressure stabilized back to normal. May I ask if people with stable high blood pressure need to continue taking medicine? I thank you doctor.

Answered by Master, Doctor Ngo Dac Thanh Huy - Cardiologist - Department of Medical Examination & Internal Medicine - Vinmec Danang International General Hospital.
Hello,
With the question “Do people with stable high blood pressure need to continue taking medicine? , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
High blood pressure in young people need to find out the cause of high blood pressure. If your child's high blood pressure has a real cause such as renal artery stenosis, adrenal myeloma, kidney disease, etc., the cause should be treated thoroughly. If your child's high blood pressure has not or has no identifiable cause, it is recommended to take long-term blood pressure medication. You should go back to your cardiologist to confirm further and choose the right blood pressure medication.
If you still have questions about high blood pressure, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. I wish you a lot of health.
Best regards!
