Do you have any particularly effective medication to quickly treat it?Doctor's answer:
Everyone's situation with high blood pressure is different, and it is not advisable to take antihypertensive medication blindly. It is essential to go to a large hospital's hypertension outpatient clinic for a follow-up check-up. After improving relevant tests, follow the doctor's advice for oral medication based on clinical diagnosis. During the period of taking oral medication, it is necessary to monitor changes in blood pressure data. Once antihypertensive medication is started, it usually needs to be taken lifelong.
