Patient's question:
My aunt is 56 years old this year and was diagnosed with high blood pressure a few months ago, so she often experiences dizziness. I would like to know, what kind of medication is generally used for high blood pressure? Hello doctor, what kind of diet can high blood pressure patients follow?Doctor's answer:
Hello, patients with hypertension who are diagnosed need to take antihypertensive drugs regularly. Currently, in clinical diagnosis, antihypertensive drugs can be roughly divided into five major categories. It is generally recommended to start with monotherapy. If the effect is not satisfactory, the drug dosage can be increased or other drugs can be combined. If the patient's hypertension is stage 2 or stage 3, two drugs can be used for combination antihypertensive treatment from the beginning. Oral medications are required, with blood pressure data to be monitored. At the same time, attention should be paid to a low-salt, low-fat diet.
