Patient's question:
Is the risk of death high with high blood pressure? My grandfather has severe high blood pressure and often feels dizzy and has heart palpitations. The family is very worried that he might have an accident.Doctor's answer:
The mortality rate for patients with hypertension is relatively high, but patients with hypertension can stabilize their blood pressure through long-term oral medication. Only by stabilizing blood pressure can the recurrence of some complications be reduced. It is recommended not to have excessive psychological stress, as patients with hypertension cannot be cured once diagnosed. However, under the guidance of a doctor, based on the patient's risk factors, the principle of using one or more different medications in combination can stabilize blood pressure.
