Patient's question:
Doctor, I have had high blood pressure since last year and have been taking antihypertensive medication. My blood pressure has been controlled quite well. However, recently I've been experiencing severe dizziness and a feeling of eye pressure. Given my current symptoms, how should I adjust my medication for high blood pressure, dizziness, and eye pressure?Doctor's answer:
Hypertension is a chronic disease that requires long-term oral medication for control. If blood pressure is kept within the normal range, dizziness and blurred vision will never occur again. If dizziness and blurred vision reappear, it indicates that blood pressure has dropped. You should go to a regular hospital for a thorough examination to see if medication needs to be adjusted or if the dosage needs to be increased to control blood pressure. In terms of diet, it is essential to follow a low-sodium diet, control weight, eat more vegetables and fruits, and ensure sufficient deep sleep.
