Patient's question:
My aunt is only in her 40s, which should still be considered young. She is usually energetic and strong. Recently, she has been experiencing frequent dizziness. When she went to the hospital to check her blood pressure, it was found to be high. After taking medication, it improved slightly, but it returns to the same condition after two days. For this intermittent hypertension, what kind of medication can alleviate the symptoms?Doctor's answer:
If you carefully check and it is confirmed to be hypertension, it is a chronic disease. Currently, there is no medication that can completely cure it. It is necessary to take antihypertensive drugs for a long term. You cannot stop taking the medication casually. If you stop taking it, your blood pressure will drop again. While taking oral medication, you also need to pay attention to adjusting your diet. You should follow a low-fat, low-sodium diet and avoid spicy, pickled, or overly salty foods. Always maintain a calm mood and avoid emotional excitement.
