Patient's question:
Recently, I often experience dizziness, a stuffy head, fatigue, poor quality deep sleep, and a flushed complexion. I also tend to feel sleepy during the day, and I look a bit puffy overall. My mood is also quite low, and I feel exhausted after working. Am I suffering from high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
General symptoms of hypertension are evident in dizziness, headaches, blurred vision, lightheadedness, memory loss, neurasthenia, and fatigue. Sometimes, there may be discomfort in the precordial area, or even angina or arrhythmia. For your condition, it is recommended to be admitted to the hospital and have your blood pressure measured under the guidance of professionals to determine the blood pressure values and implement effective treatment accordingly. For hypertensive patients, effective antihypertensive medications such as calcium channel blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, and diuretics should be taken to reduce blood pressure, minimize damage to target organs, and alleviate discomfort in the body.
