Patient's question:
Grandpa has been suffering from high blood pressure for many years and needs to take medicine on time every day! He has also abstained from smoking and drinking for a long time! As long as he pays attention to his schedule and diet, there won't be any major problems. However, when the high blood pressure flares up, he will feel dizzy, have a racing heart, and feel weak. What should he do in this case?Doctor's answer:
If the patient experiences dizziness, palpitations, and other symptoms again due to abnormal blood pressure drop, it is recommended that the patient still ensure sufficient deep sleep and rest in bed, avoid overexertion, and actively use antihypertensive medications such as nifedipine or captopril to actively control the patient's blood pressure. In terms of diet, it is advisable to increase the intake of greasy and difficult-to-absorb foods while following a low-sodium, low-fat diet.
