Patient's question:
Having surgery for an inguinal hernia, but with high blood pressure, unable to undergo surgery. What should you do now? What kind of help do you need: If blood pressure keeps not coming down, what should be done? Which blood pressure medication is more effective?Doctor's answer:
Currently, the patient mainly has high blood pressure, and the blood pressure control is not ideal, so hernia surgery cannot be performed. The goal is to lower the blood pressure as soon as possible.1. There is a significant risk of surgery when blood pressure is very high. The surgery should only be performed after blood pressure is controlled at a relatively ideal level.
2. Currently, antihypertensive treatment can be administered using angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, such as Captopril, or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), such as Valsartan.
