Patient's question:
What department should one visit for high blood pressure? Besides, which hospital is better to go to? For example, traditional Chinese medicine hospitals or Western medicine hospitals?Doctor's answer:
Hypertension is a cardiovascular disease, which is a relatively chronic condition. You can go to the cardiovascular department of a hospital for follow-up consultation. Hypertension requires medication treatment, and it is recommended to go to a general hospital. This is because it involves oral Western medicine and antihypertensive medication treatment. At the same time, it is necessary to carefully check for potential harm to other organs. Relevant tests such as electrocardiogram, myocardial enzymes, and color Doppler echocardiography should be conducted.
