Patient's question:
Tomorrow morning I need to go for a health check-up, but I have high blood pressure and need to take medication every day. Hello, can I take my high blood pressure medication before the health check-up?Doctor's answer:
If you have high blood pressure and go to the hospital for a health check-up, on the third day, you go to the hospital on an empty stomach for a thorough examination. A normal health check usually includes tests such as blood sugar, blood lipids, liver function, kidney function, and abdominal ultrasound, among others. If you take oral hypertension medication, it may affect the results of the health check-up, leading to inaccurate results. Generally, you can take antihypertensive medication after the health check-up is completed.
