Patient's question:
At the age of just sixty, I feel a bit exhausted. I haven't dared to tell my family, but over the past year, I've occasionally experienced a tingling and throbbing sensation in my head without any other symptoms, and I've just realized it might be high blood pressure. What should I do? Do I have to be hospitalized?Doctor's answer:
Hello:It's a pleasure to assist you. Based on the information you've provided, a dull, throbbing headache is a symptom of high blood pressure. Once diagnosed with hypertension, you will need to take antihypertensive medication. I strongly recommend that you be admitted to the hospital for treatment, undergo relevant tests, and have your blood lipids, blood routine, and brain CT checked. Follow your doctor's advice and take the antihypertensive medication on schedule. If you have high blood lipids, you may need to take lipid-lowering medication. Pay attention to a low-salt, low-fat diet, eat more fruits and vegetables, quit smoking and drinking, and maintain regular exercise to prevent negative emotions. Wishing you good health!
