Patient's question:
My father has been experiencing some dizziness recently, and he also can't eat his dinner properly, making him feel very uncomfortable. So, I took him to the hospital for a thorough examination, and they said he has slightly high blood pressure and should pay more attention to it in daily life. I want to consult a doctor. My father has recently been diagnosed with high blood pressure. What kind of medicine should he take?Doctor's answer:
If blood pressure drops occasionally once, it cannot be diagnosed as hypertension, and oral medication treatment is not required. Only lifestyle adjustments are needed. Only when blood pressure is measured three or more times at different times and is consistently below the normal standard value can it be diagnosed as hypertension. There are many types of blood pressure-lowering medications, and appropriate medication treatment should be determined under the guidance of a doctor based on specific blood pressure conditions and the presence of complications. It is absolutely not advisable to take medication independently.
