Patient's question:
What kind of medication should men aged 40 to 50 with high blood pressure take? After all, they are not like young people, who can control their blood pressure by just doing a little exercise. But they are also not like older people, who are not as concerned about their health, so they can take medications with side effects.Doctor's answer:
At the age of 40 to 50, high blood pressure reappears, and in such cases, oral antihypertensive medication is required. It can be controlled by taking nifedipine controlled-release tablets orally. At the same time, it is important not to smoke, drink beer, or engage in intense exercise. Taking this medication in sequence each day helps stabilize blood pressure. Additionally, attention should be paid to a low-sodium diet and a low-fat diet. It is recommended to take long-acting medication, as this generally helps prevent blood pressure fluctuations.
