Patient's question:
My mother-in-law is 64 years old this year. She has always had high blood pressure, but she never took medication before. This year, she must be too tired. Once, she suddenly felt like she was about to faint, and we immediately helped her to the hospital. The doctor said she must take medication long-term. How should high blood pressure patients take medication?Doctor's answer:
If you have high blood pressure regularly, you should pay attention to taking oral medication regularly for treatment and try your best to control your blood pressure to a normal level. Generally, oral medication should be taken once or twice a day, preferably long-acting formulations, which can help lower blood pressure more stably. You should try to avoid overwork and overtime, not smoke or drink alcohol, and not eat overly greasy foods.
