How to treat high blood pressure?

Patient's question:

Doctor, my mother is 82 years old. She originally had high blood pressure. After being hospitalized and taking medication, a series of treatments later, her high blood pressure was cured. But in recent days, her blood pressure has dropped significantly again. I hope the doctor can tell me a way to completely relieve my mother from this high blood pressure condition.

Doctor's answer:

Currently, there is no effective method to completely alleviate hypertension, so it can only be treated symptomatically. This means that if hypertension recurs, the primary approach is to control diet, exercise, and implement treatment methods in addition to medication control. Since hypertension is caused by multiple different factors, some conditions are difficult to identify a specific cause, so it is impossible to completely alleviate them. In such cases, long-term oral medication treatment is necessary.
