Patient's question:
An elderly person measured their blood pressure once in the morning when they felt dizzy and once at night, and both readings were high. How should high blood pressure that remains consistently high be treated?Doctor's answer:
For patients with high blood pressure, it is first necessary to identify the underlying cause. If the high blood pressure is triggered by certain diseases, the condition should be treated first, followed by the management of high blood pressure. Otherwise, this situation may persist without improvement, even with the use of antihypertensive medications.
