Patient's question:
My uncle was diagnosed with high blood pressure during his health check-up last year. He has been taking medication to manage it and hasn't experienced much discomfort. Lately, with the weather getting colder, he had a few drinks and has started experiencing headaches—pulsating headaches that feel like his head is about to burst. What kind of medication should he take for high blood pressure headaches?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, your younger brother is a patient with hypertension and has been taking oral medication. Due to the headache symptoms caused by the cold, it is recommended that you perform a blood pressure measurement. After the cold, a person's blood pressure tends to drop, and a drop in blood pressure can easily lead to headache symptoms. If the headache is caused by high blood pressure, the dosage of the antihypertensive medication needs to be adjusted. In daily life, it is recommended to monitor blood pressure data regularly.
