Patient's question:
The elderly lady has hypertension. In the past two days, her symptoms have worsened with physical exertion. Even after taking her blood pressure medication yesterday, she still felt dizzy and nauseous. Hello everyone, regarding hypertension, what exactly causes it? Is it hereditary across generations? Or is it something else? What precautions should one take in daily life to manage hypertension?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description that your grandmother is a patient with hypertension and has experienced dizziness and nausea symptoms again after exertion, the common causes of these symptoms are poor blood pressure control. Therefore, it is recommended that you monitor your blood pressure data regularly and adjust the dosage of antihypertensive medication as needed to effectively control blood pressure. In daily life, it is important to avoid overexertion, anger, excitement, etc., and maintain a low-salt, low-fat diet. Hypertension is related to intergenerational inheritance, obesity, diet, and other factors.
