Patient's question:
Grandpa has always had high blood pressure, and the family is afraid to let him eat meat. Watching his health deteriorate day by day, everyone feels very painful. The doctors all say that since Grandpa is getting older, he can only control his high blood pressure with medication. I want to buy some good medicine for Grandpa. What kind of medicine is good for elderly high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, it seems the elderly person has high blood pressure. We need to consider the person's age, the extent of the high blood pressure, and the specific numerical values. Additionally, are there any other diseases the elderly person may have? Do they have any history of medication allergies? Medications are not judged by quality; as long as they can treat the condition, they are considered good. Common oral antihypertensive medications include slow-release nifedipine, valsartan, captopril, irbesartan/hydrochlorothiazide, and, among others.
