Patient's question:
Father has high blood pressure, and traditional Chinese medicine hasn't helped. He's preparing to take Western medicine but doesn't know what kind of medicine to take for high blood pressure.Doctor's answer:
After the recurrence of high blood pressure, it is generally still not recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine for antihypertensive treatment. The essential antihypertensive drugs for high blood pressure are Western medicine. After the recurrence of high blood pressure in the elderly, due to arteriosclerosis, it may lead to a decrease in pulse pressure. This may result in a recurrence of elevated systolic pressure with normal diastolic pressure. In this case, calcium channel blocker drugs can be used for treatment.
