Patient's question:
I usually have high blood pressure and have been taking antihypertensive medication. Recently, I have had a severe cold with unbearable sore throat. Hello, is it okay to take aspirin for high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
If high blood pressure reappears without reappearing bleeding tendencies, aspirin can be used for treatment. It has the effect of preventing atherosclerosis. If high blood pressure reappears, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or calcium channel blockers can be used for treatment. If a cold reappears along with a sore throat, ribavirin spray can be used.
