Patient's question:
I have high blood pressure, so I have been taking medication for it. Recently, I also caught a cold, so can I take cold medicine while taking high blood pressure medication?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Hypertensive patients need to take medication during a cold and can use it separately from cold medicine while monitoring blood pressure data. You can take antihypertensive medication on an empty stomach in the morning. For a cold, drink more water and use antiviral cold medications. Rest well, avoid emotional excitement and overexertion, and maintain a light diet, avoiding spicy and greasy foods. You can eat more fresh vegetables and fruits to digest vitamins. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
