Patient's question:
I had a health check-up at the beginning of this year. My blood pressure was measured, and it was over 180, indicating high blood pressure. I took the prescribed medication and also took some other blood pressure-lowering drugs. Today, I measured it again, but the readings only dropped slightly. So, I'd like to ask the doctor how high blood pressure should be treated?Doctor's answer:
You currently have Stage 3 hypertension, which is severe hypertension. In this case, it is difficult to achieve ideal results with a single oral antihypertensive medication, and combined antihypertensive treatment is necessary. You can combine beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, and diuretics for this purpose. During medication, it is important to monitor blood pressure data and adjust the dosage based on blood pressure levels. The above information can serve as a reference.
