Patient's question:
My uncle has high blood pressure. Today, he told his family that his heart is burning. What is the meaning of high blood pressure and heart burning?Doctor's answer:
High blood pressure and fever are two different concepts. High blood pressure is a chronic disease among vascular diseases, while fever can be caused by many conditions, such as viral colds, bacterial infections, and some immune-related diseases. If a patient with high blood pressure also has a fever, it is important to monitor their blood pressure promptly. This is because during a fever, blood pressure may drop, so timely monitoring and symptomatic treatment are necessary.
