Patient's question:
Last year, I often experienced dizziness, discomfort after rest, brain swelling, and poor mental state. When I had a thorough medical examination at the hospital, it was confirmed that I had high blood pressure, and I was prescribed some antihypertensive drugs. My daughter, seeing that my health was poor, bought me some low-fat milk powder, which I could probably drink for about two or three months. Can people with high blood pressure drink low-fat milk powder for a long time?Doctor's answer:
It's okay to drink a little less, and it's best to avoid prolonged use. If high blood pressure reoccurs, try to maintain a low-sodium, low-fat diet, and avoid overtime work as much as possible. If dizziness reappears, you will need to undergo cervical spine MRI and brain MRI. It could be a recurrence of cervical spondylosis or a new cerebral infarction, leading to dizziness and a stuffy head. Calcium channel blockers or ACE inhibitors should be used in combination for treatment.
